Brielle Smith destroyed her the New Jersey state javelin record Saturday with a 168-6 at the Woodbury Relays.
Smith, a senior at Oakcrest, broke her own Atlantic County, South Jersey and state mark of 163-8, which she threw last year at the Meet of Champions.
Her mark is No. 1 in the nation this year according to the MileSplit database and No. 11 all-time.
Smith now has a nearly eight-foot lead over any other thrower in New Jersey history with the new javelin implement (since 2002). Maria Jimenez of Vineland threw 160-8 at the 2012 Cape-Atlantic Championships.
Jimenez also held the previous meet record of 153-6, also set in 2012.
