Junior Ahmad Brock of Egg Harbor Township and sophomore Matthew Mazero ran the two-fastest South Jersey sprint times so far this year at the SJTCA meet Monday evening at Ocean Breeze.
Brock ran 6.60 and Mazero 6.61 to lead five sprinters under 6.70 in the finals of the 55-meter dash. Justin Gibson of Clayton was third in 6.66, James Coleman of Audubon ran 6.67 and Quinn Hart of Williamstown 6.69.
Brock lowered his PR from 6.62 and Mazero lowered his from 6.64. Gibson dropped his PR all the way down from 6.75, Coleman has run 6.64 and Hart 6.62.
Mazero is the No. 3 sophomore in the state as of tonight, behind two North Jersey sprinters who’ve run 6.59. Brock would be No. 6 junior.
Gibson’s time is No. 3 in the state Group 1 this year behind Willingboro’s Zaire Clements (6.64) and Coleman.
