Rancocas Valley’s shuttle hurdles team of juniors Cecilia King, junior Kaylie Peacock and Aniya Wilkins and senior Nevaeh Lott broke a 30-year-old Burlington County record Wednesday and ran the 7th-fastest time in South Jersey history.
R.V. won the varsity shuttle hurdles within the Red Devil Frosh/Novice & Varsity Relay Showcase on their home track in Mount Holly with a time of 1:01.59.
They broke the Burlington County record of 1:02.0 hand-timed set by Moorestown’s Shavonna Ross, Meredith Elwell, Liza Comila and Shaatich Rivers at the 1994 Long Branch Relays. Their time is fastest by a South Jersey school since Eastern ran 59.52 in 2019 at the Don Danser Relays at Lenape. Jailya Ash, Jewel Ash, Abigail Brocco and Analiese Bulgin ran on that team.
Winslow senior Dominique Clement, junior Ma’Syiah Brawner, senior Sierra Handy and senior Djassi Dean placed 2nd in 1:02.99, which is No. 17 in South Jersey history and No. 12 on the all-time Camden County list. It’s Winslow’s fastest time since they ran 1:00.18 at the 2014 Carl Lewis Relays at Willingboro.
