For the 10th time in the last 18 years, the Winslow girls have won a Woodbury Relays team championship.

In a battle of New Jersey’s top two public school teams, Winslow locked up with Timber Creek in Group 3 and emerged with a 54-46 win.

Winslow also won Group 4 in 2003 and 2004 and Group 3 from 2011 through 2015, including a tie with Timber Creek in 2015. Winslow also won Group 3 in 2018, 2019 and 2022. Timber Creek won last year. Either Winslow or Timber Creek has won Group 3 every year since 2011. The meet wasn’t held in 2020 or 2021.

Winslow won the 1,600-meter relay in 3:51.53, the sprint medley in 4:09.10 and the 3,200-meter relay in 9:45.99. All three are No. 2 in New Jersey this year.

The official results list Skyhe Seamon, Olivia Okaro, Ava Millner and Cinniya Robinson [2:19.62 split] as the runners on the 4-by-8, Seamon, Millner, Jahrya Jackson and Ma’Syiah Brawner [2:18.01] on the sprint medley and Seamon, Robinson, Okaro and Dominique Clement on the 4-by-4.

Winslow’s shuttle hurdles team ran 1:05.01 and placed 2nd, withg Clement, Brawner, Sierra Handy and Robinson, the 4-by-2 of Clement, Okaro, Robinson and Seamon ran 1:42.11 and placed 2nd and the 4-by-1, with Clement, Handy, Okaro and Robinson ran 49.12.

Robinson is listed in five events, so obviously the lineups aren’t all correct. If anybody has Winslow’s correct lineups please post them in the comments section.

Mainland’s Madison Taylor, Ava McDole, Emma Preissman and Sofia Day won the distance medley in 12:45.67, No. 5 in New Jersey this year. Ocean City was a close 2nd in 12:48.59, No. 7 in the state.

Timber Creek’s senior Naylah Jones, junior Billie Frazier, junior Ryan Jennings and sophomore Saniyah Puckett swept the sprint relays with a 47.32 in the 400-meter relay and a 1:40.10. Both are fastest in New Jersey among public schools and No. 2 overall.
