The Willingboro girls ran the fastest 1,600-meter relay in New Jersey this year Saturday at the Deptford Spartan Relays.
Sophomore Maya Bolden, junior Aaliyah Robinson, junior Kaila Speight and senior Nester Wea ran 3:54.65 in cold and rainy conditions.
Bolden led off with a 59.19 split, junior Robinson ran 56.71, Speight ran 1:00.68 and senior Wea anchored in 58.09.
Winslow also ran sub-4 with a 3:54.59. Sophomore Tristan Hughes, sophomore Jordyn Cato and junior Leeya Joseph ran the last three legs. The “Pioneer Timing” results only show “A. Arango” as the leadoff runner, which could be either freshman, Adaiah or Amariah. There’s no way to know. First names would be nice, “Pioneer Timing.”
Willingboro and Winslow are the only New Jersey schools under four minutes so far this spring, according to the MileSplit rankings. Indoors, Winslow ran 3:44.74 and Willingboro ran 3:53.07.
