From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Rider sophomore Dylan Giloley from Washington Township PR’d in the 200 with the No. 2 time in Rider history Sunday in Emmitsburg, Md.

Giloley ran 24.24 with a legal wind of 1.4 meters per second, dropping her legal PR from 24.48 from a meet in Durham, N.C., last month. She ran a windy 24.07 last May in Lawrenceville, aided by a 3.6 wind.

The only woman faster than Giloley in Rider history is La’tazah Coleman, who ran 23.87 with a 0.5 tailwind in Princeton in April 2013.

Giloley also ran 11.84 in the 100 final, just off her school-record 11.73 in last year’s conference meet.

She also ran on two 3^rd-place relay teams, with the 4-by-1 running 46.45 and the 4-by-4 3:48.81. She split 55.25 anchoring the 4-by-4. The 4-by-1 time is No. 2 in Rider history and the 4-by-4 is No. 3.

Pemberton senior Jaden Goins ran the fastest 100 by a Pemberton sprinter in 33 years and moved into the all-time Burlington County top-12 Saturday at the Burlington County Open at Lenape.

Goins won the 100 in 10.76, becoming the first Pemberton sprinter to win the 100 at the County Open in 17 years, since Jashuan Spady ran 11.04 to win the 2009 race at Maple Shade.

Goins’ 10.76 is fastest by a Pemberton runner since Bobby Orro won the 1993 Meet of Champions in 10.66 at South Plainfield.

All this comes with the caveat that unfortunately there was on wind gauge at the meet, so none of the sprint or horizontal jump marks will count for record purposes. Why meets continue to operate without this basic piece of track and field equipment to ratify elite marks is a great question. It’s not fair to the kids, and that’s who these meets should be about.

Goins also PR’d in the 200 at 21.96, although that won’t count either. His wind-legal PRs are 11.06 with a 1.8 wind reading at last year’s South Jersey Group 2 meet at Delsea and 21.97 indoors at Ocean Breeze.

I put together an all-time Burlington County all-conditions 100-meter dash list, with both wind-legal and wind-aided marks as well as marks made with no wind gauge, which are considered wind-aided.

Lauren Fadairo, a Quinnipiac sophomore from Rancocas Valley, broke her own school triple jump record Saturday at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships in Emmitsburg, Md.

Fadairo placed 3^rd with the three-best wind-legal jumps of her life, including a 40-8 ¼ that broke her own school record.

Fadairo’s school record and previous wind-legal PR was 39-5 ¾ from last year’s MAAC Championships in Lawrenceville. She actually had two jumps of exactly 39-5 ¾ that day, one of which was wind-aided at 2.3 and the second of which was legal at 1.7. Because the wind-aided mark is the one that’s listed on TFRRS there was some confusion about what the school record really was.

Fadairo jumped 41-2 ¼ in Lewisburg, Pa., last month, her longest jump under any conditions. She has an indoor PR of 39-7 ¼ from the Armory this past January, which was her previous overall PR. That’s Quinnipiac’s indoor school record.

On Saturday, Fadairo opened with a 39-3 ¼ before hitting her big 40-8 ¼ with a legal 0.6 tailwind. She finished her series with a 39-1, 38-4 ¼, 39-9 ¾ and 39-10,

Her six legal jumps averaged 39-6, so her average jump surpassed her previous personal best by a quarter of an inch.

Fadairo’s 40-8 ¼ puts her in the No. 5 spot on the all-time South Jersey alumni list and just two inches off the Burlington County alumni record of 40-10 ¼, set by Ashley Edwards of Northern Burlington at the 2014 Greensboro Nationals with a legal -0.5 wind reading.

Palmyra’s Abdulazeez Iyiola and Highland’s Cortland Webb both ran big PRs and top-5 times on their school’s all-time lists in the 400-meter hurdles Saturday at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships in Emmitsburg, Md.

Iyiola, a sophomore at Mount St. Mary’s, placed 3^rd in 52.17, dropping more than a second off his previous PR of 53.39, which he ran at High Point, N.C., in April of 2025. His time is No. 3 in school history and fastest in 12 years, when Julian Woods ran 51.60 at Princeton. Iyiola raced just two hours after winning the 110-meter hurdles.

Webb, a sophomore at Rider, finished just behind Iyiola, placing 4^th in 52.22 and dropping his PR from 52.44 earlier this month at Princeton. His time is No. 5 in Rider history (and 3^rd-fastest in this race).

Rider freshman Mamadi Diawara and sophomore Camryn Thomas, former teammates at Toms River North, placed 1-2 in PRs of 51.70 and 51.87.

Palmyra’s Abdulazeez Iyiola and Highland’s Cortland Webb both ran big PRs and top-5 times on their school’s all-time lists in the 400-meter hurdles Saturday at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships in Emmitsburg, Md.

Iyiola, a sophomore at Mount St. Mary’s, placed 3rd in 52.17, dropping more than a second off his previous PR of 53.39, which he ran at High Point, N.C., in April of 2025. His time is No. 3 in school history and fastest in 12 years, when Julian Woods ran 51.60 at Princeton. Iyiola raced just two hours after winning the 110-meter hurdles.

Webb, a sophomore at Rider, finished just behind Iyiola, placing 4th in 52.22 and dropping his PR from 52.44 earlier this month at Princeton. His time is No. 5 in Rider history (and 3rd-fastest in this race).

Rider freshman Mamadi Diawara and sophomore Camryn Thomas, former teammates at Toms River North, placed 1-2 in PRs of 51.70 and 51.87.

Palmyra graduate Abdulazeez Iyiola won his 3^rd conference title and PR’d in the 110-meter hurdles Saturday at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships in Emmitsburg, Md.

Iyiola, a Mount St. Mary’s sophomore from Beverly, ran 14.27 at Morgan Track, lowering his PR from 14.39, which he just ran two weeks ago in Louisville. The race was wind-legal with a 0.9 tailwind.

Iyiola also won the 400-meter hurdles last spring at Lawrenceville in 54.12 and was 2^nd in the 110 highs, and he won the 60-meter highs indoors in 8.24 at the Armory. He’ll race in the 400 hurdles final later Saturday.

Iyiola’s 14.27 is No. 4 in Mount history behind Richard Gilchrest [13.76 in 2023], Robert Ekpete [13.93 in 1984] and Julian Woods [14.17 in 2017].

Missed this one earlier this month, but Syracuse sophomore Jamir Brown from Riverside ran a big wind-legal hurdles PR at a meet in Jacksonville.

Brown placed 2^nd in the 110-meter highs in 13.39 into a 1.0 headwind at the Tom Jones Invitational at the University of North Florida’s Hodges Stadium.

His previous PR was 13.49 from a meet at the University of South Florida in Tampa in March.

Brown’s time is 3^rd-fastest ever run by a South Jersey hurdler, behind only Olympic bronze medalist Jack Pierce from Woodbury, who ran 12.94 in Atlanta in 1996 in the Olympic Trials semis, and Camden’s Anwar Moore, who ran 13.12 at the 2007 Modesto [Calif] Relays.

His time is No. 2 in Syracuse history behind Jaheem Hayles’ 13.28 in 2023 and No. 7 on the 2026 NCAA Division 1 performance list.

From the World Athletics database, his 13.39 is No. 16 in the world this year and No. 13 among U.S. athletes.

This is Brown’s first year at Syracuse. As a freshman at Rowan, he set NCAA Division 3 records indoors with a 7.72 at Ocean Breeze and 13.60 in the prelims of the NJAC Championships in Ewing. He won the NCAA title outdoors in Geneva, Ohio, with a 13.75.

This past winter, Brown won the ACC title in Boston in the 60-meter highs at 7.58 after a PR 7.56 in the trials. He’ll be the top seed in the 110-meter highs this week at the ACC meet in Louisville.

The Camden County Showcase produced a wild 400-meter dash Saturday that saw Timber Creek junior Timothy Whitaker, Winslow Township senior Prince Owusu-Twum and Overbrook junior John Froehlich all finish within a 10^th of a second of each other with the three-fastest times in South Jersey this year.

Whitaker won the race in a lifetime-best 48.45, Owusu-Twum PR’d at 48.46 and Froehlich ran a PR of 48.55. Their times rank 7^th, 8^th and 9^th in New Jersey this year.

Whitaker’s previous PR was a 49.78 in a FAT-timed batch meet at Clearview last month. Owusu-Twum’s previoues best was 49.31 in Balitmore earlier this month. And Froehlich’s best time before Saturday was 49.26 at Cherokee last month.

Whitaker also PR’d in the 200 with a 21.77 for 3^rd and Froelich PR’d with a 22.01 for 5^th in that 200.

This is the first time ever that three Camden County quarter-milers have run sub-48.60 in the same year, much less the same race.

Cherry Hill East senior Tymir Gayle ran the 4^th-fastest time in Camden County history and fastest in 15 years, and Winslow’s Keyon Ali broke the South Jersey freshman record Saturday in the 100-meter dash at the Camden County Showcase at Haddon Township.

Gayle won the race in 10.57, dropping his PR from 10.85 from this meet last year. His time is fastest by a Camden County sprinter since Damiere Byrd of Timber Creek, who spent eight years in the NFL and was just inducted into the South Jersey Track Hall of Fame this year, ran 10.36 at 2011 South Jersey Group 3 Sectionals at Egg Harbor.

Gayle’s time – made into a 1.6 meters-per-second headwind – is fastest in New Jersey so far this year.

Meanwhile, Ali placed 2^nd in 10.69, breaking the South Jersey freshman record of 10.76 set in 2021 by Malachi James – then at Willingboro – at the 2021 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield with a legal 0.8 tailwind.

The fastest time recorded by a New Jersey freshman is 10.41 by Jevon Ledgister of St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City at last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. Ledgister’s fastest wind-legal time as a freshman was a 10.46 at the Parochial A meet in Galloway Township, so that remains the state freshman record.

Ali’s time is 4^th-fastest in New Jersey this year and fastest among all Group 3 runners.

Also under 11 seconds were Winslow senior Quayd Hendryx [10.77], Timber Creek junior Timothy Whitaker [10.89] and Pennsauken juniors Zion Long [PR 10.90] and Michael Lawrence [PR 10.93].

Haddonfield’s Dylan Hosty ran the 3^rd-fastest 800 in South Jersey history and broke her own South Jersey freshman record Saturday at the Camden County Showcase at Haddon Township.

Hosty lowered her PR from 2:09.27 at Haddonfield Distance Night last week to 2:08.12, which trails only Eastern’s Natalie Dumas last June and Haddonfield’s Marielle Hall in 2009 on the all-time South Jersey list.

Hosty’s 2:08.12 is 2^nd on the New Jersey freshman list behind Union Catholic’s Abigail Robisky, a New York State resident who ran 2:06.41 earlier this month.

So Hosty’s 2:08.12 is fastest ever by a New Jersey freshman that actually lives in New Jersey. It’s also No. 2 this year among U.S. freshmen, according to the MileSplit database.

Her time is also No. 4 on the 2026 U.S. Under-18 list.

Hosty also ran a 56.72 anchor split on Haddonfield’s winning 1,600-meter relay team, which also included junior Saya Sood, junior Molly Mills and senior Edith Green and ran 4:01.62.

Winslow senior Quayd Hendryx ran the 8^th-fastest wind-legal 200 in South Jersey history Saturday at the Camden County Championships at Haddon Township.

Hendryx ran 21.37, 2^nd-fastest in New Jersey this year and fastest by a South Jersey sprinter. Eastern senior Ashton Gage finished second with a 21.44, equalling his PR, which he ran in the Olympic Conference meet last month. That’s No. 9 in Camden County history and No. 3 in the state this year. The race was run with a legal 1.8 headwind, and thank you for having a functional wind gauge operating.

Hendryx’s previous PR was a 21.47 in last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken as a Burlington Township junior. He’s Winslow’s fastest at 200 meters since Reuben McCoy ran 21.14 at the 2004 state meet at Egg Harbor.
