Haddonfield’s 9:16.28 won the Meet of Champions and was the No. 2 time in the state indoors. Ava Thomas, Anne Stolarick, Audrey Nattichia and Riley Slootsky are expected to run for Haddonfield, which runs at 9 a.m. Thursday in the first race of the three-day meet.

Girls Large-School 3,200-Meter Relay
Cherokee, Eastern, Washington Township and Winslow Township all qualified with indoor times. Eastern ran 9:22.33 at the Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze, Cherokee ran 9:37.42 at Ocean Breeze in February, Washington Township 9:49.15 at the MoC and Winslow Township 9:59.19 at the state Group 3 Relays at the Bubble.

Eastern and Winslow are scheduled to run in the first race, scheduled for 9:23 a.m. Thursday. Cheroke and Washington Township are scheduled to race at 9:34 a.m.

Malachi James opened his 2024 season with one of the fastest sprint doubles in state history.

James, who broke Meet of Champions recores in both the 55 and 200 indoors and placed 2nd in the 200 at Armory Nationals, ran 10.40 for 100 meters and 21.13 for 200 meters Sunday at the USATF New York Youth Challenge Series Opener at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island in Manhattan.

Both times were wind-legal, with a 1.3 meters-per-second tailwind in the 100 and a 1.6 in the 200.

The only sprinters in New Jersey history who’ve run that fast for both races are Rahway’s Danny Johnson, who ran 10.30 and 20.93 in 2001, and Franklin Township’s Mario Heslop, who ran 10.33 in 2019 and 20.74 in 2018.

Only Johnson did it at the same meet. He won the 100 and 200 at the 2001 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield with 10.30 and 20.93.

James was not pushed in either race. Second-place times were pedestrian 11.45 and 22.63. And he  ran those times without starting blocks.

James’ 100 time is No. 7 in state history and No. 3 in South Jersey history and fastest in 14 years, since Timber Creek’s Damiere Byrd ran 10.36 at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Egg Harbor.

His 200 time is tied for No. 7 in state history and also No. 3 in South Jersey history, behind  Olympic gold medalist Dennis Mitchell of Edgewood, who ran 21.06 at the Keebler Prep Championships in Elk Grove, Ill., in 1984, and Paul VI’s Antonio Tarantino, who ran 21.07 at

James’ previous PRs were 10.54 when he won the 2022 Meet of Champions at Franklin as a Willingboro sophomore and 21.28 when won the indoor Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze this past March.

He broke the Burlington County 100-meter dash record of 10.45 set by James Townsend of Holy Cross when he won the 2003 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield. Townsend never ran another race. He already held the Burlington County overall 200 record with that 21.28 indoors, but he officially broke the outdoor record of 21.40 sst by Lenape’s Rob Gary when he won the 100 at the 1998 state Group 4 meet at South Plainfield.

Nice 400 PR Sunday at Bucknell from Michael Mazero, a Cornell sophomore from Mullica Hill and Paul VI.

Mazero ran 47.89 to win the second section of the 400-meter dash at the Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic at Christy Mathewson Memorial Stadium in Lewisburg, Pa., and his time held up for 5th-fastest overall out of nearly 100 runners in 15 sections.

Mazero’s previous PR was a 48.03 last April in a meet on his home track in Ithaca, N.Y. His 47.89 is No. 10 in the Ivy League so far this year.

Seven of the eight-fastest times came from the first heat. Mazero bumped all but the first four runners in the fast heat.

At Paul VI, Mazero ran 48.52 for 4th place at the 2021 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield.

Jason Nwosu from Delsea continued his assault on the William and Mary record book this weekend with a personal-best in the discus a week after he recorded a PR in the shot and a few weeks after a PR in the hammer.

Competing at the Virginia Grand Prix at the University of Virginia’s Lannigan Field in Charlottesville, Nwosu on Saturday placed 2nd in the discus with a 161-4 on his 3rd throw. His previous PR was a 157-10 last April in a meet at High Point, N.C.

The 161-4 moves him up from No. 11 to No. 8 on the all-time William and Mary performance list.

Nwosu also placed 3rd in the shot put with a 57-0 throw, which is less than a foot from his PR of 57-11 ¾ from last weekend at the Colonial Relays at his home facility in Williamsburg, Va. The 57-11 ¾ ranks 3rd in school history.

He also took 7th in the hammer throw at 179-10, just two feet off his PR of 181-11 from three weeks ago at a meet at Christopher Newport in Newport News, Va. That’s No. 11 in school history.

Nwosu is one inch off the William & Mary all-time top-10 in the hammer. If he throws 182-0, he’ll join Taylor Frenia [60-2 ½, 192-7, 191-11] and [K.J. Cook 57-0, 186-1, 215-8] as only the 3rd thrower ranked in the top-10 in school history in the shot, disc and hammer.

Pleasantville’s Nia Ali ran the fastest 100-meter hurdles time in the world this year Saturday in Gainesville, Fla.

Ali, the 2016 Olympic silver medalist and 2019 world champion, ran 12.44 to win the highs at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational at Percy Beard Track on the University of Florida campus.

That’s her 7th-fastest time ever.

She edged Tonea Marshal, the runner-up to Ali at last year’s U.S. Championships in Eugene. Marshal’s 12.45 is No. 2 in the world this year.

In the trials, Marshal edged Ali, with both timed in 12.47 – Marshall was 12.466 and Ali 12.470. That was the 2nd-fastest time Ali has ever run that wasn’t in a final. She ran 12.43 in the semis at nationals in Eugene last summer.

Ali ranks 9th in world history with her 12.30 in Monaco this past July. That’s also No. 3 in U.S. history

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.

Washington Township senior Ajani Dwyer ran the 6th-fastest 100-meter dash in South Jersey history Saturday at Fast Times at Cherokee High.

Dwyer edge Robbinsville’s Maxim Rychkov by 2-100ths of a second, Dwyer in 10:48 and Rychkov in 10.50.

Dwyer was a 1st-time sprinter last spring but only competed in a handful of meets and missed sectionals, states and the Meet of Champions. He ran 10.60 to win the Gloucester County title in Deptford and also had a 200 best of 21.47.

Indoors, he ran a state-record 6.18 for 55 meters and a South Jersey-record 20.25 for 200 meters but again missed the end of the season with an injjury.

Three other sprinters ran sub-11 – Washington Township junior John Santos was 3rd in 10.91, Cherokee senior Ryan Bender 4th in 10.94 and Washington Township senior Yashahya Brown – the state hurdles record holder indoors – was 5th in 10.96.

There was no wind reading taken in his race, so some performance lists may not include his performance.

Dwyer’s time is No. 15 in state history and 1-100th of a second off the Gloucester County record of 10.47 set 15 years ago by Glassboro’s James Brown at the 2009 South Jersey Group 1 sectionals at Egg Harbor Township.

It’s fastest by a South Jersey sprinter in 14 years, since Timber Creek’s Damiere Byrd ran 10.36 at the 2010 South Jersey Group 3 sectionals, also at Egg Harbor Township.

Bishop Eustace senior Shawn Brady threw a lifetime-best 57-0 ¼ in the shot put at Fast Times at Fast Times at Cherokee High Saturday morning.

Brady had a PR of 56-10 ¼ from his 4th-place finish at the indoor Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze. His outdoor PR was 56-3 from the Don Danser Relays at Rancocas Valley last weekend.

Brady is the first 57-footer from Camden County in 12 years, since Timber Creek’s Quanzell Lambert threw 57-7 ¾ at the old Hall of Fame Relays at Maple Shade.

Brady opened with a 56-1 before hitting his 57-footer on his second attempt. He fouled on his 3rd and final throw.

Also over 50 feet were Delsea junior Jonathan Harris [53-11 ¼], Delsea senior Greg Masso [50-11 ¼], Timber Creek sophomore Roseby Lubintus [50-6] and Cinnaminson junior Victor Meira.

That’s an enormous PR for Lubintus, who came in with a lifetime-best 44-9 ¼ from a meet at Cherokee this past May. He didn’t compete indoors. Meira’s previous best was a 48-5 at the indoor state Group 2 met at the Bubble in February.

Here’s a look at the all-time Camden County 57-foot list:
64-6 ¼ … Ron Dayne [Overbook], 1996
61-2 ½ … Matthew Huckabee, [Timber Creek], 2010

Woodbury senior Peyton Shute ran 9:12.13 and led five runners under 9:20 at the Cherokee Night of 3200s Friday night.

Nearly 500 runners raced in 21 sections, with more than three-quarters of them running PRs.

Shute was out in 4:42.23 for 1,600 meters and then came back in 4:29.91, closing in 2:14.98 and 67.83.

This was Shute’s 3,200 or two-mile since he ran a PR 9:05.99 at the indoor Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze. He actually ran within a second of his outdoor PR of 9:11.11, which he set this past May at the Gloucester County Championships at Deptford.

Colts Neck junior Hunter Celkupa, who came in with a PR of 9:27.31 from the Shore Conference Championships at the Bubble in January, was 2nd in 9:15.27, followed by the Cherokee pair of seniors Nick Kuenkel [9:16.54] and Robert Poplau [PR 9:18.82]. Haddonfield junior Bennett Wright [17-second PR 9:19.81] also dipped under 9:20.

Other South Jersey runners in the top 20: Ocean City senior Matt Hoffman was 8th [9:27.16], Cherokee freshman Benjamin Realley 12th [PR 9:32.85], Cherokee junior Liam Tindall 13th [9:34.15], Cherokee sophomore Logan Bromley 15th [PR 9:36.40], Washington Township senior Daniel Torres 17th [PR 9:37.46] an Delsea sophomore Matthew Littlehales 19th [9:40.24].

As we wrote about last night, Paul VI senior Shaelan McNally was the fastest girl with a 10:18.93, the 2nd-fastest time ever by a South Jersey girl and fastest in 41 years.

Kylie Anicic ran the 4th-fastest 5,000 in NCAA Division 2 this year late Friday night in Southern California.

Anicic, a Kingsway graduate and senior at Edinboro, ran 16:14.07 at the Bryan Clay Invitational at Cougar Stadium at Azusa Pacific University.

Her time is 8th-fastest ever by a South Jersey high school graduate.

Anicic’s previous 5,000 PR was a 16:25.97 in March of 2023 when she placed 6th at the NCAA Division 2 indoor championships in Virginia Beach. She broke the school record of 16:18.41 set by Stefanie Parsons at last year’s Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif.

Anicic has raced twice this spring and run huge PRs both times. She set a school record of 33:25.55 in the 10,000 two weeks ago in Raleigh, N.C. That remains the No. 1 time in NCAA Division 2 this year.

In addition to the 5,000 and 10,000 outdoors, Anicic holds Edinboro school records indoors at 3,000 meters [9:27.55] and 5,000 meters [16:25.97].

The official results do not list splits. Anicic finished 2nd in the race behind post-collegiate runner Layla Almasri, who ran 16:07.99.

Anicic is one of three women from Kingsway who have run sub 16:20. Chelsea Ley ran 16:12.62 at the 2012 Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Va., and Lori Townsend ran 16:17.67 at the 1995 Penn Relays.
