We started in February and spent the last six months compiling all-time South Jersey top-50 lists for boys and girls indoor and outdoor track.

There are close to 100 lists in total, with more than 5,000 total performances ranked in order. Once track and field resumes – hopefully this winter season – we’ll update the lists in real time so athletes, coaches, meet officials, school administrators, media, track fans and definitely meet announcers will have easily accessible deep all-time South Jersey lists at their disposal.

I’ll have a new high school track stats project starting this coming week – bigger and more ambitious even than this one. More on that in the coming days.

Until then, here’s an index of all the lists. As always, if you see any errors or omissions, please let me know in the comment section below.

Our final South Jersey top-50 list is the indoor girls shuttle hurdles. It’s a race that’s not run very often, and sadly will be contested even less in the future now that indoor nationals removed it from the docket. Hopefully, they reconsider that decision.

Winslow set the South Jersey record of 30.74 at the 2014 state Group 3 relays at the Bennett Center with the team of Cidae’a Woods, Gabrielle Bennett, Brittany Preston and Torie Robinson. That smashed the South Jersey record of 32.02 set in 2006 at the state Group 3 Relays at Jadwin Gym by Woodrow Wilson’s Janee Sharper, Samantha Sharper, Shaquanda Meylor and Tamara Jones.

Before Wilson, the record belonged to the Pleasantville girls, who ran a hand-timed 32.6 in 1998 – still No. 6 on the all-time South Jersey list 22 years later. The likely Pleasantville team that turned in that performance is Frances Bundy, Nekema Stewart, Viola Sessoms and Sherese Price.

Willingboro has the oldest mark on the top-50 with its 33.0 hand-time from 1997.

Here are the top-50 times (plus some) in the 206-meter version of the race. Below is a short list of the top marks run over 220 meters.

The 2000 Easterns were ridiculous for South Jersey, as you can see by the results below. And one of the highlights was Moorestown’s state-record 800-meter relay performance, anchored by Amandi Rhett.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The team of Lisa Reindl, Danielle Lyons, Anu Ward and Rhett ran 1:40.77 at the Armory, breaking the school, county, South Jersey and state record of 1:41.42 that the Quakers set a year earlier at Easterns.

 

 

 

 

That stood as the state record until Franklin Township ran 1:39.74 in 2003 and remained the South Jersey record for 17 years – until Winslow ran 1:39.94 in the trials at nationals in 2017 with Flora Ahiarakwe, Shakira Dancy, Tionna Tobias and Iyianna Williams. Winslow then lowered the South Jerey mark to its current 1:39.55 when it placed 4th at 2018 indoor nationals at the Armory with Ahiarakwe, Dancy, Janeya Hammond and Nylah Perry.

When it comes to breaking records, the 1986 Shawnee girls did it in style.

Lisa Syvertson, Joanne Tate, Chris Danks and Deanna Germano took 29 SECONDS off the South Jersey indoor record when they won the Group 4 distance medley in 12:43.8 at the state relays at Jadwin Gym.

They broke the South Jersey mark of 13:12.9 set by Shawnee in 1984, probably at the state relays.

That 12:43.8 only stood as the South Jersey record for one year. The same four girls ran 12:40.6 in 1987, although I have no idea where. It wasn’t at the state relays or Easterns. (Those marks are converted from 2 1/2 miles to 4,000 meters on the list below.)

It would be 15 years till that mark fell, but then it fell a lot. Here’s a look at the all-time S.J. girls indoor DMR progression:

2002: Woodrow Wilson, 12:20.4 [Lindsey Thomas, Latoya Carmichael, Takeesha Carter, Tanieshia Pittman, Varsity Classic, Armory]
2005: Ocean City, 12:12.22 [Nike Indoor Nationals, Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex, Landover, Md., Allie Moreland, Erin Walsh, Renee Tomlin, Brittany Sedberry]

Do you get the feeling Lenape is pretty good at this?

Lenape owns the top four spots and eight of the top 13 spots on the all-time South Jersey girls indoor 3,200-meter relay list.

That’s incredible! 

I guess Jack Walsh and Gerald Richardson know what they’re doing!

In all, Lenape appears on the list 13 times. Every Lenape team from 2005 through 2014 is represented.

Before Lenape got good, Woodrow Wilson held the South Jersey record with Taniesha Pittman, Takeesha Carter, Qiana Mason and Lindsay Thomas running 9:19.35 for fifth place at 2002 indoor nationals at the Armory.

Lenape then shattered the record in three times in six years. Let’s take a look at their remarkable run of sub-9:20 indoor performances from 2008 through 2013:

9:04.66 … 4th, 2013 Indoor Nationals, Armory [Emily McGee, Carly Pettipaw, Camille Franklin, Natalia Ocasio]
9:09.71 … 1st, 2012 New Balance Collegiate Invitational, Armory [Emmy Duffey, Camille Franklin, Emily McGee, Natalia Ocasio]
9:11.94 … 1st, 2008 Easterns, Armory [Brianna Beddall, Miya Johnson, Caitlin Orr, Moira Cunningham]
9:19.01 … 2nd, 2011 Easterns, Armory [Emily Duffey, Emmy Duffey, Amanda Restivo, Emily McGee]

Lenape also ran 9:09.03 winning the 2013 New Balance Collegiate Invite  and 9:11.37 to win 2012 Easterns. So Lenape has run sub-9:20 six times indoors in the last 18 years and no other South Jersey school has done it once.

Lenape’s 9:04.66 remains No. 5 in state history, and the 9:09 and 9:11 are No. 14 and No. 17.

Only Columbia also has three performances in the top-20!

Here is the all-time South Jersey top-50. Hopefully we have a 2021 indoor season because Haddonfield will be loaded and trying to break up that Lenape stronghold!

You can find the boys high school 3,200 right at 4:44:45!

OK, Southern Regional isn’t technically in South Jersey. But it does have the word “South” in its name. And Manahawkin is only about 12 miles from the Burlington County border as the crow flies. And Southern Regional competes in the NJSIAA’s South Regional. And it’s not like anybody else is racing right now.

So we’re here to tell you that Jackson Braddock, a rising senior at Southern Regional, ran 8:54.02 tonight in Nashville.

Yikes!!!

Braddock, in his first race since the indoor Meet of Champions, beat a field of 22 high school runners in a special high school 3,200 held at the Music City Distance Carnival at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville.

Izaiah Steury of Angola (Indiana) High School was second in 8:57.17. His previous PR was 9:15.76 in a meet last month in Marion, Ind.

Braddock broke the Ocean County record of 8:58.58, set at the 2018 Meet of Champions by Devin Hart of Point Pleasant Boro.

Since Jackson only ran one 3,200 as a sophomore last outdoor season, he technically just outdoor PR’d by more than a minute – 1:00.02 to be exact. His previous outdoor PR was 9:54.06 at last year’s Cherokee Night of 3200’s.

Braddock broke the meet record of 8:55.27 set last year by Kashon Harrison of Kirtland Central High in Kirtland, N.M.

Braddock blossomed this past fall, when he ran 15:49 at Holmdel to win the state Group 4 title and then took 6th at the Meet of Champions in 15:50 and took 29th at Nike Team Cross Nationals at Glendover Golf Course in Portland, Ore.

He ran 9:06.86 at Meet of Champions – a 10-second PR – at Ocean Breeze on March 8. And that was the last time he was on the track.

Who knows whether Braddock’s time will count on all-time New Jersey lists. I’m counting it and I don’t know if anybody else keeps all-time lists, so it’s now officially (or unofficially) No. 10 in state history.

Here’s what I came up with for every New Jersey sub-9 runner, including converted two-mile times:

Most high schools would be thrilled to have a girl running 56.3 for the indoor 400.

In one race 17 years ago, Willingboro’s four quarter-milers AVERAGED 56.3.

In one of the greatest indoor track performances in state history, Halimah Bashir, Rhea Mann, Channel Hamilton and Okechi Ogbuokiri ran 3:45.37 at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships at the Armory to set a state record that stood for 10 years. Ogbuokiri also won the 400 in 54.24 to set another state record (and a S.J. record that still stands).

Willingboro finished 3rd that day in New York behind two high schools from Long Beach, Calif. Long Beach Poly set the national record of 3:41.54 and Long Beach Wilson ran 3:43.66 for second.

(Tosca, if you’re reading this, shoot me over the splits if you remember them!)

Willingboro’s splits that day: 58.01 for Mann, 57.12 for Hamilton, 56.03 for Bashir and 54.21 for Ogbuokiri!

(edited – thanks, Tosca and happy anniversary!)

The top three times in the race at the time were the No. 1, No. 5 and No. 14 times in U.S. indoor track history.

That 3:45 broke the state record of 3:47.95 set by Willingboro a year earlier by the same four girls at the USATF

Willingboro’s 3:45.37 stood as the state record until Columbia ran 3:42.03 to win Nationals at the Armory in 2013. It’s still No. 3 in state history behind Columbia and Union Catholic’s 3:40.28 to win nationals in 2016.

It’s so fast only six New Jersey schools have run faster OUTDOORS! Not surprisingly, that list includes Union Catholic, Columbia and Willingboro as well as Trenton, Montclair and Plainfield.

The closest anybody in South Jersey has gotten to Willingboro’s 3:45 since they ran it is Winslow, who ran 3:51.49 at the 2017 Meet of Champions at the Bennett Center with Iyianna, Flora Ahiarakwe, Janeya Hammond and Shakira Dancy.

Here’s the full all-time girls South Jersey indoor 1,600-meter relay top-50, with mile relay times converted using the standard formula (I actually included the top 60 because I wanted to list all the sub-4 times). Corrections and additions are always welcomed in the comment section!
