Big day at the Moorestown Relays for Riverside senior Jamir Brown, who won the 100-meter hurdles in 14.34 and the long jump at 22-0.
Brown’s previous hurdles PR was a 14.66 as a sophomore competing for Delran when he placed 2nd at the state Group 2 meet at Franklin. He missed his long jump PR of 22-0 ¾ from last weekend’s Don Danser Relays at Rancocas Valley by less than an inch.
The 14.34 is fastest by a New Jersey Group 1 hurdler since 2019, when Palmyra’s Sam Aviles ran 14.07 at the Meet of Champions at Northern Burlington.
It’s No. 3 so far this spring in South Jersey, behind Washington Township’s Yashahya Brown [14.12] and Williamstown’s Alexander Hollimon [14.25] from Fast Times at Cherokee on Saturday.
Brown’s 22-0 ¾ from last weekend is the top long jump in South Jersey this year.
Brown was the No. 2 sophomore intermediate hurdler in New Jersey at 54.52 from West Philly Nationals as a Delran sophomore, but he hasn’t run a 400IH since that race nearly two years ago.
