Catching up on some remarkable performances last weekend, we’ll start with the Winslow Township girls, who smashed the South Jersey 4-by-4 record at Boston Nationals.
Freshman Jasmine Jackson, sophomore Skyhe Seamon, Amariah Arango and Cinniya Robinson ran 3:44.74, breaking a 22-year-old South Jersey record.
Jackson led off in 56.82, Seaymon ran 55.26, Arango split 55.50 and Robinson anchored in 57.12, with each earning All-America honors.
The time is 5th-fastest in state history and 2nd-fastest by a public school, behind only Columbia’s 3:42.03 with Olivia Baker at Armory Nationals [which was the same meet as this year’s Boston Nationals, just in a different place].
Willingboro set the previous South Jersey record of 3:45.37 at 2003 Armory Nationals, at the time the state record. Rhea Mann [58.01], Channel Hamilton [57.12], Halimah Bashir [56.03] and Okechi Ogbuokiri [54.21] ran on that team.
Winslow also placed 4th in the shuttle hurdles in 33.04, with Jackson, junior Ma’Syiah Brawner, sophomore Justice Green and senior Sanaa Bradley earning All-America honors. Winslow also ran 1:39.77 in the 4-by-2 with junior Olivia Okaro, sophomore Jordyn Cato, sophomore Skyhe Seamon and sophomore Cinniya Robinson is No. 2 in South Jersey history.

A personal note: Apologies for not posting any results the last several days, but it was out of respect to South Jersey track legend Mike Pascuzzo, who we lost last weekend. You can find my remembrance of Mike here.
