Yashahya Brown anchored Washington Township to the No. 2 shuttle hurdles time in the country Wednesday at the Bubble.
Zachary Kotel, Nino DiGiacomo and Aidan Ellis ran the first three legs before Brown, the top-ranked hurdler in the country so far this year, brought the Minutemen home in 30.73.
According to the MileSplit national database, the only faster time in the U.S. this year is a 30.45 by Fordham Prep of the Bronx at the Armory last week.
Township’s time is No. 3 in Gloucester County history, behind only Deptford’s South Jersey-record 29.45 at the 2019 state Group 2 relays at the Bubble and Washington Township’s 30.52 at the 2012 state Group 4 relays, also at the Bubble.
The time is No. 16 in South Jersey history.
Deptford placed 2nd in 31.23 and Oakcrest also dipped under 32 seconds, in 3rd place with a 31.95. Ryan Sanchez, Manny Perdue, Larry Norman and Keenan Jones ran for Deptford and Clayton Husta, Kelvin Urena, Armando Velazquez and Asmar Gibbs for Oakcrest.
