Delsea and Deptford ran the 3rd- and 6th-fastest 400-meter relay times in New Jersey this year Monday evening at the Spartan Sprint Night at Deptford.
Delsea senior Julian Conigliaro, senior Xavier Wyatt, senior Christian Langston and junior Eric Grant ran 42.19, the 2nd-fastest time in school history, and Deptford senior Darryl Wayman, junior Tyaire Randells, senior Ryan Gore and sophomore Kareem Brown ran 42.35, the Spartans’ fastest time since 2019.
The two times are No. 9 and No. 12 in Gloucester County history. Delsea’s 42.19 is No. 3 in New Jersey this year, behind Rancocas Valley’s 42.00 last month at the Penn Relays and a Scotch Plains-based parochial school, which ran 42.02 in a meet at Westfield earlier this month. After Elizabeth [42.28] and Toms River North [42.29], Deptford is No. 6 state-wide.
Pennsauken also ran under 43 seconds, with Jabari Sonnebeyattal, KaRon Ali, Christopher Baisden and Elijah Jennings taking 3rd in a season-best 42.73, fastest this year by a Camden County school. That’s also No. 5 in South Jersey this year.
