Glassboro’s Sunsarai Moore opened her 2024 season Monday with the best discus throw by a Gloucester County sophomore in nine years.
Moore won the disc at the Penn Relays Qualifier at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft with a PR 123-8 throw. That’s the best throw by a Gloucester County soph since Emily Hilt of Kingsway threw 129-7 at the 2015 South Jersey Group 4 sectionals at Egg Harbor.
Moore was the top freshman in New Jersey last year with a 118-8 when she placed 2nd at the state Group 1 meet at Franklin. Three of the top four freshmen in the state were from South Jersey last year: Moore at 118-8 was 1st, Delsea’s Hannah Nuhfer was 2nd at 113-1 and Burlington Township’s Gianna Creamer 4th at 103-11.
Her throw is best by a Glassboro girl in 22 years, since Stacie Belzer set a school record of 129-3 at the 2002 Tri-County All-Star Meet at Delsea. Belzer also won the state Group 1 title at Egg Harbor with a 128-0 throw and placed 6th in the Meet of Champions at 127-6.
