Huge horizontal jumps double Saturday for Mainland Regional senior Josiah Williams, who posted the top long jump and triple jump marks in New Jersey this year with his double win and double PR at the Woodbury Relays.

Williams won the triple jump at 47-2 ¼ on his 3rd of four attempts and the long jump with a 22-10 ½ on his second jump before passing his final two. His previous PRs were 21-7 ¼ from South Jersey Group 3 sectionals last spring at Delsea and 46-4 ½ from last month at the indoor Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

Williams moved up to No. 2 in Atlantic County history in the triple jump and No. 10 in the long jump. He broke the school triple jump record of 47-0 ½ set by Mawali Osunniyi at the 2023 state Group 3 meet at Delsea. Osunniyi won the junior college national high jump title this past indoor season competing for New Mexico Junior College.

Williams is still a bit shy of the school long jump record of 23-9 set by Dave Klemic at the 1996 South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at West Deptford.
