A couple Woodstown graduates broke Georgian Court school records Friday in the 2023-24 season opener.

Senior Xavier Seals and junior Wayne Robinson, teammates at Woodstown in 2019 and now teammates at Georgian Court of Lakewood, both broke school records at the FastTrack National Invitational at Ocean Breeze.

Seals placed 3rd in the 3,000-meter run in 8:53.86 to break the school record of 8:54.76 set in 2019 by Leonia graduate Hussein Elmeshad at the same meet at Ocean Breeze. Seals’ previous indoor 3,000 PR was a 9:00.19 at Ocean Breeze this past February. Seals is already the school record holder in the indoor 800 [1:54.97], No. 2 in the 500 [1:06.01] and 1,000 [2:34.94] and No. 3 in the mile [4:21.95]. He doesn’t have any outdoor school records yet, but he’s No. 2 in the 800 [1:54.86] and No. 5 in the 1,500 [4:03.59].

Robinson became the first Georgian Court runner to break 50 seconds indoors, taking 3rd in the 400 in 49.79. The previous school record was 50.44 set by Bridgeton graduate DaShawn Lamar-Baldwin at the 2019 FastTrack Invite. Robinson’s outdoor PR is 49.26 from the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Championships this past May in Lakewood. His previous indoor PR was 50.45 from the 2022 East Coast Conference Championships at Ocean Breeze. Apparently, Georgian Court changed conferences, I reckon.

Robinson is also No. 2 on the all-time Georgian Court indoor list in the 200 at 22.19 behind Charles Wolef-Fields of Wildwood Catholic [21.94 in 2019]. Outdoors, he’s No. 8 in the 100 [11.52], No. 2 in the 200 [22.09] and No. 5 in the 400 [50.15].

Versatile freshman Julian Rodriguez of Deptford prepped for likely outdoor decathlon duty by running 8.67 in the 60-meter hurdles (No. 6 on the all-time Georgian Court performance list), PR’ing at 21-7 ¾ in the long jump (No. 7 all-time) and clearing 13-1 ½ in the pole vault (No. 5 all-time).

Also freshman Malicah Etienne of Cinnaminson threw 48-1 ½ on the final throw of his first college meet and first meet with the 16-pound shot. That’s No. 8 all-time at Georgian Court.

Georgian Court is coached by former Holy Cross standout Mike Murawski, a Cinnaminson native, two-time state high jump champion, decathlete at Duquesne and current Woodstown resident.
