Timber Creek senior Naylah Jones, junior Ryan Jennings, junior Billie Frazier and sophomore Samiyah Puckett ran the 6th-fastest 800-meter relay in South Jersey history Saturday morning at the 50th annual Woodbury Relays.
Jones, Jennings, Frazier and Puckett ran 1:40.10 to win the Group 4 race at Woodbury. They broke the Group 4 meet record of 1:41.97 set in 2002 by Rancocas Valley and came within half a second of the overall meet record of 1:39.59 set by Winslow Township in 2012.
The time is No. 19 in state history.
The only faster time by a New Jersey school this year is a 1:37.75 by Union Catholic earlier this month in Arcadia, Calif.
Winslow was 2nd in 1:42.11 with senior Dominique Clement, sophomore Olivia Okaro, freshman Cinniya Robinson and freshman Skyhe Seamon. That’s No. 3 in the state this year behind Union Catholic and Timber Creek.
