The Timber Creek girls got the season started with a couple fast relay performances Saturday at the Spartan Relays at Deptford.
Juniors Billie Frazier and Ryan Jennings and seniors Nyla Jones and Naylah Jones won the 400-meter relay in 48.18 and the same quarter in a different order – Naylah Jones to Jennings to Nyla Jones to Frazier – won the 800-meter relay in 1:42.14.
Although MileSplit hasn’t completely updated its database, both times appear to be the fastest in New Jersey after the first week of competition.
Timber Creek’s 48.18 is the 2nd-fastest in school history. Last year, Jennings, Nyla Jones and Naylah Jones were joined by Chloe Jones on the 4-by-1 at West Philly Nationals and they set a South Jersey-record of 46.43.
The 4-by-2 time is also Timber Creek’s fastest. Last April, Jennings, Frazier, Chloe Jones and Naylah Jones ran 1:39.67, 11th-fastest in state history.
Willingboro placed 2nd in the 4-by-100 in 49.94, with sophomore Kaila Speight, freshman Maya Bolden, freshman Trinity Brapoh and junior Nester Wea. Winslow was 2nd in the 4-by-2 in 1:44.93 with senior Dominique Clement, sophomore Olivia Okaro, freshman Cinniya Robinson and freshman Skyhe Seamon.
