Senior Ryan Sanchez, junior Larry Norman, senior Marcus Hood and junior Kamaldeep Singh earned All-America honors Sunday morning with a 6th-place finish in the shuttle hurdles at Boston Nationals.
Deptford ran 30.62 in the 10th of 11 heats and was sitting in 4th place going into the final race, and only two schools bumped them so they wound up 6th with the final All-America spot out of 39 teams that raced.
Deptford ran a bit faster in a meet at the Bubble last month with a 30.13, which is 5th-fastest in South Jersey history and No. 2 on the all-time Gloucester County list. The 2019 Deptford team set the South Jersey record of 29.45 at the Group 2 state relays at the Bubble with Tyrece Brown, Naseem Smith, Tyriq Bundy and Khion Smith.
