The BCSL Liberty Division went 1-2 in the 500-meter dash Saturday at the Monmouth MAC Classic in West Long Branch.
Monmouth sophomore Jalen Jones from Burlington Township won the 500 with a personal-best 1:05.68, and Monmouth freshman Micah Wood was second in 1:06.81 at the OceanFirst Bank Center on Monmouth’s campus.
Jones’ previous PR was 1:06.94 at the same meet last year. Wood had never run a 500 previously.
Jones has a 400 PR of 48.84 from the state Group 3 meet in the spring of 2018. Wood ran 50.93 at last year’s BCSL meet.
