Dominic Bassey’s smoking 1:51.89 anchor led Winslow to the 9th-fastest sprint medley time in South Jersey history Thursday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin field.
Although the other splits aren’t listed in the official results, Nyqir Helton, Darrell Jackson Jr. and Jayden Poteat ran the first three legs for Winslow, whose time is fastest in South Jersey since Moorestown ran 3:25.06 and placed 4th at Greensboro Nationals in 2017 with the team of Zion Howard and Josh Pearcy on the 200s, Bradon Outlaw splitting 46.7 and Kevin Fox anchoring in 1:52.4.
Moorestown’s 3:25.06 and Winslow’s 3:26.28 are the two-fastest South Jersey sprint medley performances in the last 19 years.
Winslow trimmed half a second off the school-record 3:26.75 from the 2003 East Coast Regional Relays at Willingboro, where Vineland, Willingboro and Winslow ran times that remain No. 2, No. 4 and No. 10 in South Jersey history.
The only faster time in Camden County history belongs to Camden, which ran 3:22.85 at 2001 Raleigh Nationals.
Winslow’s time is No. 23 in state history. Four of the first seven teams are from New Jersey. Union Catholic took 2nd in 3:25.36, Toms River North 3rd in 3:25.59 and Morris Knolls 5th in 3:25.76. The four New Jersey schools that finished in the top seven now rank No. 18, 19, 20 and 23 in state history.
