Salem senior Anthony Parker broke the Salem County indoor long jump record Wednesday in the South Jersey Elite meet at the Ott Center in West Philly.

Parker leaped 22-0 ½ on his 2nd of three attempts, breaking the mark of 21-11 that Schalick’s Kason Barrett jumped at 2017 Easterns at the Armory.

Parker, also an outstanding hurdler, hasn’t done a ton of long jumping. He jumped a few times outdoors as a sophomore with a best of 19-7 at the Bridgeton Relays. He didn’t jump at all that indoor season and only once last spring, going 20-8 ¼ at the Salem County Championships and taking 2nd to Schalick freshman David Stewart, who jumped 21-4 ½. His indoor and overall PR before Wednesday was 20-10 ¾ from a meet earlier this month, also at the Ott Center.

On Wednesday, he opened with a PR 21-5 ¼ and then hit 22-0 ½ on his 2nd jump. He finished with a 20-11 ¼, so he had the three-best jumps of his life back-to-back-to-back.

Parker’s 22-0 ½ is No. 11 in the state so far this year and No. 1 in South Jersey, just ahead of Sterling senior Bright John, who jumped 21-11 ¾ earlier this month at Ocean Breeze.

As for Stewart, he hasn’t long jumped yet this indoor season, but he did run a PR 50.30 for 3rd place in the 400 Wednesday, which makes him the top sophomore quarter-miler in New Jersey and Salem County’s fastest 400 runner since Norman Morris of Penns Grove ran 49.72 to win the 400 at the 2015 state Group 1 meet at the Bubble.

Here are all the 21-foot indoor jumpers I found from Salem County (outdoor county record is Salem’s Torrence Sorrell with his 23-2 ¼ when he won the 1988 Meet of Champions).

Haddonfield junior Riley Austin led five half-milers under 2:20 Wednesday at the Ott Center, with Austin, Moorestown freshman Hope Edwards, Paul VI sophomore Grace Gutowski, Ocean City sophomore Carly Godfrey and Northern Burlington senior Liliah Gordon all running 2:19.15 or faster.

Austin won the race in 2:17.24, No. 2 in South Jersey this year, Edwards was 2nd in 2:17.92 in her 2nd high school race, Gutowski ran 2:18.18 for 3rd, Godfrey crossed the line in 2:18.60 and Gordon – coming off her 2nd-place finish at the USATF Under-20 Cross Country Championships in Lubbock, Texas – dipped down from 5K to 800 meters and ran 2:19.15 for 5th.

The times are No. 2 through No. 6 in South Jersey this year. Natalie Dumas of Eastern ran 2:11.42 at Ocean Breeze earlier this month.

Austin ran slightly faster – 2:16.87 – at last year’s state Group 2 Championships at the Bubble. She does not run outdoor track, so that 2:16.87 is her overall PR.

Edwards broke Moorestown’s indoor school record of 2:21.56 set by Allison Tetreault at the 2008 state Group 3 meet at the Bubble. Becky Wells ran 2:14.3 outdoors when she placed 2nd to Hackensack’s Jasmin Jones at the 1987 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield.

She also broke the Burlington County freshman class record of 2:18.61 set at the 2020 Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze by Cherokee’s Kelsey Niglio. Her time is fastest by a South Jersey freshman since Washington Township’s Kami Joi Hickson ran 2:14.99 at the 2017 state Group 4 meet at the Bubble.

Gutowski broke her indoor PR of 2:26.97 from the Parochial A Championships last March at the Bubble. She’s run 2:17.85 outdoors.

Godfrey also recorded an indoor 800 PR after running 2:23.02 this past March in Boston. She’s run slightly faster outdoors – she has a 2:18.50 at Group 3 states this past June at Delsea.

Gordon’s 2:19.15 is an indoor PR because it’s the first indoor 800 she’s ever run. She ran 2:17.65 in her only outdoor 800 last year. Her time is also a school record.

Woodbury senior Marquis Taylor ran away from a fast field to win the 55-meter dash Wednesday in the South Jersey Elite meet at the Ott Center in West Philly.

Taylor lowered his PR from 6.43 to 6.41, tied for 11th-fastest in South Jersey history and 4th-fastest on the all-time Gloucester County list. He’s only 3-100ths of a second outside the all-time South Jersey top 10.

Taylor had been tied for the school record with his 6.43 from last year’s Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze. Woodbury’s Anthony Averett ran 6.43 at the 2013 Meet of Champs at the Bubble.

His time is 3rd-fastest in New Jersey this year, behind East Orange’s Jordaine Johnson and West Orange’s Terrance Mahomes, who ran 6.38 and 6.40 at the Millrose Games Trials earlier this month at the Armory.

The race produced three of the four-fastest times in South Jersey this year, and seven boys ran 6.64 or faster.

Senior M.J. Lincoln broke his own Lenape school record, taking 2nd place in 6.51, with St. Augustine senior Julian Onesti 3rd in 6.52 after a PR and school-record 6.51 in the trials. He broke the school record of 6.52 set by national scholastic hurdles champ Sincere Rhea at the 2019 Meet of Champions.

Sterling senior Bright John placed 4th in 6.57, Washington Township senior John Santos 5th in 6.62, Burlington Township junior Solomon Wesley PR’d at 6.63 for 6th, Ranccoas Valley senior David Smith ran 6.64 for 7th and Washington Township senior Jack Schuck 8th in 6.69.

Taylor also won the 200 in 21.89, with Paul VI senior Austin Bailey 2nd in 21.97 and Wesley 3rd out of an unseeded heat with a PR 21.97 (21.967 for Bailey, 21.970 for Wesley).

Natalie Dumas ran the fastest 400 by a South Jersey girl in 22 years and just missed the South Jersey record Wednesday night at the Ott Center in West Philly.

Dumas, an Eastern junior, ran 54.45 unpressed, the fastest indoor time by a South Jersey girl since Willingboro’s Okechi Ogbuokiri ran 54.24 to win the 400 at the 2003 National Scholastic Championships at the Armory.

Her time is 6th-fastest in state history.

Dumas broke the Camden County record of 55.16 set by Winslow Township’s Krystal Cantey at the 2006 Hispanic Games at the Armory.

Dumas, who also PR’d with a 24.41 in the 200, won the Meet of Champions last spring at Pennsauken with a 53.16, 7th-fastest in state history and 2nd-fastest in South Jersey history as part of a MoC triple. She went on to win the intermediates at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field, across the Northeast Corridor railroad tracks from the Ott Center.

Dumas has also run 2:11.42 this winter, so she has crazy range from 200 to 800 meters but also ran as fast as 18:49.86 for 5K from Group 4 cross country sectionals at DREAM Park in Logan Township in November.

Dumas’s 54.45 is No. 3 nationally, behind Bayleigh Minor of Ford Bend Christian Academy in Sugar Land, Texas, who ran 53.61 at the Carl Lewis Invite last week in Houston, and Elise Cooper of McDonough School in Owings Mills, Md., who ran 54.01 at the Armory earlier this month.

Also under 60 seconds were Paul VI junior Claire Magee [58.89], Hammonton sophomore Corinne Egan [PR 59.00], Clayton senior Leila Ortiz [59.13], Pemberton junior Olivia Serrano [59.21], Timber Creek sophomore Taylor Gaines [59.28] and Absegami senior Jaidah Garrett [59.74]. Egan, Serrano and Garrett raced in the 4th section, with Dumas, Magee, Ortiz and Gaines in the 5th.

Mainland Regional senior Josiah Williams, Bridgeton senior Zamir Chance and Moorestown senior Ezra Williams-Thomas hooked up Wednesday in the deepest South Jersey indoor triple jump competition ever held, with all three surpassing 45 feet and all three and all three moving into the all-time South Jersey top-15.

The South Jersey Elite meet at the Ott Center in West Philly was the place to be Wednesday for triple jump enthusiasts, as Williams broke the Atlantic County record, Chance broke the Cumberland County record and Williams-Thomas tied the Burlington County record.

Wow! What a competition!

Williams won with a 45-8 and broke his own Atlantic County record of 44-9 ¾ that he set three weekls ago, also at the Ott Center. Chance, in his first indoor triple jump ever, placed 2nd with a 45-4 and broke the Cumberland County record of 44-3 held by Millville’s Ebenezer Edzii at the 2020 Marine Corps Holiday Classic at the Armory. And Williams-Thomas jumped 45-3 ½, tying the Burlington County record set by Rancocas Valley’s Zakiyy Williams at the 2015 Varsity Classic, also at the Armory.

Williams’ previous indoor PR was that 44-9 ¾ and he’s gone 45-4 ¾ outdoors. Chance’s outdoor PR is a 43-7 ½, so this was his best jump ever indoors or outdoors. And Williams-Thomas has an outdoor PR of 45-3 ½.

Their jumps are No. 5, 7 and 9 this year in New Jersey and No. 13, 14 and 15 in South Jersey history. Williams and Williams-Thomas are No. 2 in Group 3, and Chance is No. 2 in Group 1.

Making the competition even more impressive is that each competitor only got three jumps, presumably because of time constraints at the Ott.

Williams opened with a 43-9 ½ before surpassing 45 feet twice – his 45-0 ½ on his 2nd jump actually broke the Atlantic County record, which he then broke again with the 45-8 on his 3rd attempt.

Chance had jumps of 44-9 ½ and 45-4 with a foul in between, and Williams-Thomas had a solid series with 44-4, 44-5 ½ and 45-3 ½.

Sianni Wynn shattered her own state record in the 200-meter dash Wednesday in West Philadelphia.

Wynn, a Pennsauken junior, ran 23.60 at the South Jersey Elite at the Ott Center at the University of Pennsylvania, breaking her state record of 23.79, which she ran on the same banked 200-meter track in December.

That 23.79 broke a 41-year-old state record of 23.87 set by Wendy Vereen at the 1984 The Athletic Congress Championships at Madison Square Garden.

Her time is 4th-fastest in the country this year, according to the MileSplit national database.

Wynn ran a wind-aided 23.34 outdoors last spring when she won the Meet of Champions on her home track. Her wind-legal outdoor PR is 23.79 from the state Group 4 meet in Somerset, so this was her fastest legal 200 indoors or out.

Her time is 14th-fastest this year among all U.S. women, according to the World Athletics database.

It’s also 11th-fastest on the all-time New Jersey indoor alumni list and No. 4 among South Jersey sprinters.

Eastern junior Natalie Dumas, following a personal-best 54.45 in the 400, ran a PR 24.41 for 2nd place behind Wynn.

Wynn also ran 6.83 unpressed to win the 55-meter dash. Her PR is 6.81 from last year’s Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze, and that’s No. 3 in state history.

Junior Natalie Dumas anchored two winning relay teams and ran on two 2nd-place relays and the Eastern girls won their first state relays title Monday at the Bubble.

Eastern outscored 2nd-place Livingston 37-26 to win the state Group 4 relays title. Dumas anchored 1st-place sprint medley and 1,600-meter relay teams and ran legs on 2nd-place distance medley and 4-by-2 teams. The official esults show her anchoring both.

Sophomore Poetry Anderson, senior Johnna Gonter and freshman Ariana Felix joined Dumas on the sprint medley team, which ran 4:17.73, and senior Jasmine Davies, sophomore Theresa Albertson and junior l;Adriana Marella also ran on the 4-by-4, which ran 4:07.17

Albertson, senior Samantha Osei-Kyei and Marella joined Dumas on the DMR, which ran 12:38.48, and Gonter, Marella and Davies ran the first three 4-by-2 legs before Dumas’s anchor brought the Vikings home in 1:46.53.

Eastern also scored in the shuttle hurdles, with senior Zayanna Fitzpatrick, senior Basirah Corbett-Collier, junior Knoelle Whittle and senior Jean’ae Daniels running 35.19.

Eastern is the fourth South Jersey in the last six Group 4 relay meets to win the title. Millville won in 2019, Cherokee in 2022 and Washington Township last year. There was no meet in 2021.

Cherokee won the 3,200-meter relay in 9:57.24 with junior Madeline Meder, senior Megan Niglio, junior Sofia Recinto and freshman Erin Healy.

Vineland picked up a 2nd in the sprint medley with junior Beatrice Sotomayer, senior Leah Mears, senior Ashlynn Newton and senior Georgina Chalow running 4:22.63 and a third in the pole vault relay with Mackenzie Chalow-Moore clearing 9-0 and senior Natalia Kobys 6-6.

Williamstown’s pole vaulters placed 2nd, with senior Olivia Deletto-Gross clearing 8-6 and junior Brynn Greenwood 8-0.

Senior Ella Karp threw 39-4 ¾ and senior Gianna Shippy 31-6 ¼ for Washington Township, which was 2nd in the shot put relay, and senior Meciah Howell, senior Zaida Taylor-Burch, freshman Nia’Leila Cuascut and senior Dakota Jones ran 32.90 for 3rd in the shuttles for the Minutemaids.

Egg Harbor ran 10:01.51 for 3rd in the 4-by-8 with senior Bithania Andemariam, junior Devyn Per, junior Paige Pacquing and senior Abigail DeCosta.

Kingsway placed 3rd in the 4-by-4 with senior Camryn Stanard, freshman Noemi Haller, junior Norah Brown and senior Jonnell Lewis running 4:09.35.

Rancocas Valley senior Kendra Green threw a huge 41-3 shot put PR, well beyond her previous best of 38-6 ¾ from a meet last month at the Armory. That’s No. 8 in New Jersey this year and No. 2 in South Jersey behind Karp’s 41-5 ½ at the Ott Center. Green is the first 40-footer ever from Rancocas Valley, and her 41-3 is No. 4 on the all-time Burlington County indoor list:

Delsea’s Nico Morales cleared a lifetime-best 17-2 ¾ in the pole vault Saturday at the Quaker Invitational at Ott Center, the 2nd-best clearance ever by a South Jersey vaulter.

Morales had just cleared 17 feet for the first time last weekend in Akron with a 17-1 ¾ clearance.

On Saturday, he was one of three Rutgers vaulters to PR and re-write the Rutgers record book.

Twins Brian and Kevin O’Sullivan both cleared a school-record 17-10 ½, matching the No. 2 clearance in New Jersey history. Bradley Jelmert of Watchung Hills and Arkansas State cleared 18-9 ¼ in December 2023 in Pittsburg, Kans.

The only superior vault by a South Jersey native is a 17-3 ½ by Cherry Hill East’s Noah Kriesman last spring in Columbia, S.C. Kriesman, like the O’Sullivan twins and Morales, competes for Rutgers. Kriesman’s best this year is a 16-8 in Akron last weekend. He cleared 15-11 Saturday.

Brian and Kevin O’Sullivan, Kriesman and Morales now rank 1st, 1st, 4th and tied for 5th on the all-time Rutgers list.

Morales passed through 15-11 Saturday, then cleared 16-4 3/4, 16-10 3/4 and 17-2 3/4, all on his second attempts, before missing three tries at a PR 17-6 1/2.

Amazing Dallas Hohney, a week after a ridiculous 1:50.71 six-second 800 PR, shattered Rider’s 500 meter record at the Quaker Invitational at the Ott Center in West Philly.

Hohney, in only the 2nd 500 of his life, ran 1:01.74 and won by four meters over Princeton’s Karl Dietz, who was 2nd in 1:02.19.

Hohney broke the Rider record by more than a second. Darien Edwards out of St. Benedict’s in Newark, ran 1:02.87 in the prelims of the 2016 IC4A Championships at Boston University.

His time is 7th-fastest ever by a New Jersey runner and 4th-fastest by a South Jersey product, fastest since Delsea’s Aaron Younger from Rutgers ran 1:01.38 at the 2012 Big East Championships at the Armory.

In his only previous 500, Hohney ran 1:05.21 last January at Ocean Breeze. Hohney is a sophomore at Rider after competing briefly for Campbell University in Buie’s Creek, N.C.

St. Joe’s grad student Jayden Greene from Washington Township ran a lifetime-best 1:04.09 to place 5th. His previous PR over 500 meters was 1:04.49 at Ocean Breeze last year.

Where else on Earth are you going to find an all-time New Jersey 500-meter list? Nowhere! But we’ve got it!

The Winslow Township girls put on a remarkable display of talent and versatility Saturday, recording the highest score in any group in state relays history.

Winslow scored an astonishing 69 1/2 points to win Group 3 for the 7th straight year and 10th overall. Winslow outscored 2nd, 3rd and 4th place combined. Moorestown was 2nd with 23 points, Roxbury 3rd with 22 and Ocean City 3rd with 20.

The Eagles scored in all but one event and won six of nine events, scoring 50 of a possible 60 points on the track.

The previous meet record for points at the state relays was Haddonfield’s 63 in Group 2 in 2022. The previous Group 3 high was 52 by Timber Creek in 2017 and Winslow Township last year.

Only Willingboro, with 11 state relays titles, has won more than Winslow. Their streak of seven straight titles – interrupted by COVID in 2021 – is 3rd-longest ever behind Hopewell Valley’s nine-year streak in Group 2 from 2002 through 2010 and that North Jersey all-star team in Parochial A the last nine years.

Winslow won the 1,600-meter relay with Cinnihya Robinson, Amariah Arango, Skyhe Seamon and freshman Jasmine Jackson in a meet-record 3:54.33, breaking the mark of 3:57.96 set last year by Timber Creek.

Winslow also won the shuttle hurdles with Ma’Syiah Brawner, Jackson, Chantina Walker and Sanaa Bradley, the 800-meter relay with Jackson, Olivia Okaro, Robinson and Seamon, the 3,200-meter relay in 9:40.99 with Adaiah Arango, Amariah Arango, Tristan Hughes and Ava Millner and the sprint medley in with Jordyn Cato, Tammy Ellis, Millner and Okaro in 4:17.91.

Brawner cleared 5-2 and Walker 5-0 to win the high jump relay. In the shot put relay, Brook-lynn Roberts threw 38-6 and freshman Jenelle Harrison 29-6 1/2 for 2nd place. And Winslow tied for 5th in the pole vault, junior Nyla Williams clearing 9-6 and junior Cherish Hazelton 7-6.

For 2nd-place Moorestown, seniors Hannah Byrd-Leitner and Jaya Stockham won the pole vault relay, Byrd-Leitner clearing 12-0 and Stockham 9-6.

The Quakers were also 2nd in the 4-by-4 and 4-by-8, with Sophia DiFiore, Lillliana Stack Maya, Hope Edwards and Sarah Brown running 4:10.50 and Brown, Gabrielle DeJoseph, Edwards and Stack Maya running 9:42.68.

Ocean City took 2nd in both the DMR and 4-by-8, with Chloe Care, Maeve Smith and Carly Godfrey running on both teams. They were joined by Alana Clevenger on the DMR, which ran 12:27.02, and by Riley Tolson on the 4-by-8, which ran 9:42.19.

Pennsauken picked up 2nd places in the shuttles and 4-by-4. Ameenah Rodriguez, Sianni Wynn, Sanaya Dupree and Olivia Dupree ran on both teams.

Camryn DeMorat, Isabella Moscola, Aryanna Perez and Ava McDole took 3rd for Mainland in the shuttles in 33.61.
