The Winslow girls ran the 10th-fastest 800-meter relay time in South Jersey history at New Balance Nationals Saturday, just missing qualifying for the finals.
Winslow won the first of six heats in 1:41.80, but only six teams advanced to the championship race, and the cutoff time was 1:39.79.
Senior Tisonna Tobias, junior Janeya Hammond, senior Rayven Rouse and junior Nylah Perry ran for Winslow, which as you can see now accounts for four of the top 10 times in South Jersey history and four of the top 17 times in state history.
