Cherokee’s sophomore Megan Niglio, junior Madison Van Haren, senior Kelsey Niglio and junior Kerry O’Day put together the 2nd-fastest distance medley in South Jersey history Sunday and placed 4th at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Cherokee ran 11:54.48, not far off the South Jersey record of 11:53.15 set at 2012 Greensboro Nationals by Lenape’s Camille Franklin, Ana de las Heras, Emily McGee and Natalia Ocasio.

Cherokee’s time is fastest by any New Jersey DMR since Randolph ran 11:49.73 at Greensboro Nationals in 2019. It’s No. 19 in state history.

This was Cherokee’s first serious DMR this year. The previous school record was Cherokee’s 12:07.43 at last year’s Oregon Relays at Hayward Field in Eugene with Megan Niglio, Alison Cooke, Kelsey Niglio and Nicole Clifford.

On Thursday, Megan and Kelsey Niglio, O’Day and freshman Madeline Meder earned All-America honors with a 6th-place finish in the 4-by-mile.

Cherokee finished behind only Cuthbertson High of Waxhaw, N.C. [11:33.18], Saratoga Springs, N.Y. [11:37.67] and Ann Arbor, Mich. [11:47.21].

Megan Niglio led off with a 3:37.47 split for 1,200 meters and Van Haren ran 60.07 to set up Kelsey Niglio, whose 2:13.45 split was fasted of all the half-milers in the field and moved the Chiefs from 7th into 5th. O’Day anchored in 5:03.50

Delsea sophomore Jonathan Harris PR’d again Saturday and won the Rising Stars shot put at West Philly Nationals with a 58-4 ½ bomb on the throwing fields outside Franklin Field.

Harris just PR’d with a 57-7 for 6th place at the Meet of Champions. As recently as the first week of May, he had never thrown beyond 53-1 ½.

Harris, a 1st-year thrower, threw 55 feet for the first time at the South Jersey Elite last month at Delsea, then hit 56 feet for the first time at sectionals.

His 58-4 ½ the best by a South Jersey sophomore since Braheme Days Jr. of Bridgeton threw 61-7 ¼ at the 2011 South Jersey Invitational at Buena.

According to the MileSplit national database, he now ranks 8th among all U.S. sophomores. No. 1 soph is Bergen Catholic’s Ben Shue, who threw 64-0 at a meet in Hackensack last month.

There have been 12 58-foot throwers in Gloucester County history, and Delsea claims six of them.

After a 13.91 in the first round, Washington Township junior Yashahya Brown ran a PR 13.82 in the semifinals of the 110-meter hurdles Championship to advance to Sunday’s final at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Brown was the 4th-fastest qualifier. The top eight advanced, and 14.07 was the cutoff.

Brown will be in lane 7 for the final, which is scheduled for 10:44 a.m. Sunday. Top seed is New Jersey Meet of Champions winner Nathaniel Rayan, who led all qualifiers with a 13.43 in the semis. He’ll be in lane 5.

Brown’s 13.82 ranks 13th in South Jersey history. Brown’s time is No. 2 in Gloucester County history, behind Sultan Tucker’s 13.66 for Delsea when he placed 2nd to Notre Dame’s Todd Matthews in the 1997 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield.

Shute placed 15th overall at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field in a race that ended at about 11 p.m. His previous PR was a 4:12.06 for 1,600 meters at the Haddonfield Invitational last month.

Racing some of the top milers in the country, Shute was out in 62.21, 2:06.64 and 3:10.90 before closing in 61.24.

Juniors Elijah Jennings and Bronze Whitmore and seniors Premier Wynn and Bryce Tucker sprinted their way to a national title in the 800-meter super sprint medley Saturday evening at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Pennsauken ran a meet-record 1:30.31, edging mighty Bullis School of Potomac, Md., who was initially 2nd in 1:30.44 before getting DQ’d for a baton pass out of the zone on the second exchange.

The Indians led from start to finish, with Tucker holding off Bullis anchor Quincy Wilson, who ran 46.11 open last month in a meet in Landover, Md.

Pennsauken’s time is 3rd-fastest in state history and broke the meet record of 1:32.38 set last year by Stow-Monroe Falls of Stow, Ohio, set last year.

Seton Hall Prep set the state record of 1:30.02 in April at a meet in Kearny, breaking a 16-year-old state record set by Willingboro.

The Chimeras ran 1:30.09 when they won 2007 Outdoor Nationals in Greensboro with Anthony Coleman, Marco Biersinger, Antonio Abney and Jusson Boyd. Willingboro used Abney – the Meet of Champions 400 winner – on the 200 because he was already running two other 400s in the meet. Boyd was no slouch either and split 47-low.

For Pennsauken, Jennings and Whitemore ran the 100s, Wynn the 200 splitting 21.5 and Tucker, who finished 2nd in the 400 hurdles on Friday, anchored in 47.8.

After the DQ, Roman Catholic of Philly, located two miles northeast of Franklin Field at Broad and Vine, moved up to 2nd place in 1:30.69.

Deptford, with senior Kevin Mosley, sophomore Tyaire Randells, junior Darryl Wayman and senior Lathan Brown, initially finished 7th, 14-100ths of a second out of the top six, but the DQ moved them up to 6th place and earned All-America honors for Mosley. Randells, Wayman and Brown.

Ocean City senior Elaina Styer, in 10th place with one event to go, turned in the 2nd-fastest 800 of the competition, moved up to 6th place and earned All-America honors in the one-day, five-event pentathlon with a score of 3,331 at West Philly Nationals Saturday at Franklin Field.

Styer was in 10th place after four events with 2,584 points but only 97 points out of 6th, and the top six finishers earn All-America honors.

Styer, who was fast enough to place 4th in the 800 at Group 3 sectionals in 2:23.26, closed her first multi-event with a 2:25.75, which was fastest of the top 15 girls in the competition.

That was worth 747 points and moved her all the way up from 10th to 6th.

Styer opened with a 16.25 in the hurdles in her first lifetime 100-meter hurdles race, good for 684 points, then hit 17-4 ¼ in the long jump, which was worth 640 points. She threw 29-6 ¾ in the shot to earn 465 points, which put her at 1,944 going into the high jump.

She then PR’d at 5-5 – she cleared 4-8 ¾, 4-11, 5-1 ¼, 5-3 ¾ and 5-5 on her first attempt – tied for the highest clearance among all the jumpers. That was worth 795 points and set her up for the 800.

And after hurdling, throwing the shot, long jumping and taking eight attempts in the high jump, she ran within 2 ½ seconds of her PR in a new event that she had only competed in twice all year. She was 7th with a lap to go before passing five runners on the second lap.

Considering that she finished 28 points ahead of 7th, 34 points ahead of 8th, 40 points ahead of 9th and 42 points ahead of 10th, safe to say that big 800 finish made her an All-America.

Styer, who will attend Cornell, finishes her senior year with PRs of 1:00.24 in the 400, 2:23.26 in the 800, 16.25 in the 100 highs, 5-5 in the high jump, 18-5 in the long jump, 36-6 ½ in the triple jump, 79-2 in the javelin and 33-5 ½ in the shot.

Washington Township junior Ajani Dwyer, who hadn’t competed since the Gloucester County Championships on May 11, ran the 3th-fastest 200 in Gloucester County history Saturday at West Philly Nationals.

Dwyer – who had never competed before last month – came out of nowhere with a 21.55 at the South Jersey Open at Delsea on May 6 and a 10.60 at the Gloucester County meet five days later. At the time, they were both N.J. No. 1 performances.

But Dwyer didn’t race again until Saturday, when he placed 14th in the championship division of the 200 at Franklin Field with a 21.47. He missed qualifying for the final by 22-100ths of a second.

Dwyer’s time is faster than the winning time in the Meet of Champions, a 21.56 by Hamilton West senior Jaci Summers. It’s fastest by a Gloucester County sprinter in 21 years.

Dwyer’s 21.47 is No. 15 in South Jersey history – only 6-100ths of a second outside the top 10 – and 3rd-fastest in Gloucester County history, behind Washington Township’s Todd Dutch [21.40 in 2001] and Kingsway’s Dorian Bryant [21.41 in 2002].

He also ran 10.74 Saturday in the 100.

Washington Township’s versatile junior Dahlia Beasley ran a huge 400 PR of 55.55 Saturday to place 3rd in the Rising Stars 400 at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Beasley’s previous PR ws 56.62 from last year’s South Jersey Group 4 meet at Buena. Her season best was a 56.68 at the South Jersey Open last month at Rancocas Valley.

Beasley’s time is 4th-fastest by a New Jersey girl this year and 2nd-fastest by a South Jersey girl, behind only Pennsauken freshman Sianni Wynn, who ran 53.97 at Group 4 states at Franklin High.

Her time is No. 7 in Gloucester County history and broke the school record of 56.37 set by Jackie Dim at the 2007 state Group 4 meet at Egg Harbor.

Beasley ran 58.58 in the 400 at Group 4 sectionals at Pennsauken and just missed qualifying for the Meet of Champions. She did place 2nd at states in the long jump [18-1 ¾] and placed 11th in the MoC and she placed 3rd at states in the 200 and placed 5th in the MoC.She’s also high jumped 5-4 this spring.

But she focused on the 400 at nationals and left Franklin Field with the No. 25 time in South Jersey history.

Beasley finished behind only freshman Sophie Rambo of Grassfield High of Chesapeake, Va. [54.26] and 8th-grader and AAU national age-group champ Nevaeh Burns, an 8th grader at Oak Park [Mich.] Prep [55.36] and, no, I didn’t realize either that 8th-graders were eligible for this meet.
