Jasmine Broadway, who had a 200 PR of 25.60 in high school, is now one of the leading 200-meter dash sprinters in NCAA Division 3.
Bradberry, a Rowan sophomore from Burlington Township, ran 24.85 at a meet in Widener with a legal wind – actually racing into a 1.1-meters-per-second wind.
That’s No. 7 in NCAA Division 3 three weeks into the outdoor season and No. 1 in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. Nobody else in the NJAC is under 25.16.
Broadway’s previous 200 PR was a 25.16 earlier this spring in a meet in Lexington, Va. She ran 25.19 indoors at the Armory. Her outdoor PR coming into this season was 25.84 last April in a meet in Ewing, so she’s lowered that nearly a full second.
Broadway’s time is fastest by a Rowan woman since Pemberton’s Shailah Williams set the Rowan school record 12.36 with a legal 0.1 wind at the 2015 NJAC meet at Ramapo in Mahwah. Williams was the Division 3 national champ indoors with a 24.41 in 2014 and is also the Rowan 400 record holder with her 54.74 for 3rd at the 2016 outdoor D-3 nationals.
At Burlington Township, Broadway PR’d in the 200 at 2021 Group 3 sectionals at Jackson Liberty, which she won in 25.60.
