From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

After they re-wrote the Woodbury Relays record book in the 800-meter relay, Pennsauken, Winslow and Willingboro did the same thing in the 4-by-100 Saturday.

This time it was Pennsauken leading the way, with junior Sanaya Dupree, junior Oivia Dupree, sophomore Abigayle John and junior Sianni Wynn winning the Group 4 race in 47.26, 10th-fastest in South Jersey history. They broke a 43-year-old Group 4 meet record of 47.3 hand-timed set by Willingboro at the 1981 meet by Pam Young, Carol Lewis, Monica Mayes and Michelle Glover.

Winslow wasn’t far behind, winning the Group 3 race in 47.40 with freshman Amariah Arango, freshman Jasmine Jackson, junior Ma’Syiah Brawner and junior Olivia Okaro. They broke the Group 3 meet record of 47.85 set in 2012 by Winslow’s DeAnn Cross, Torie Robinson, Ashley Ogueldo and Stey’ce McNeil, and their time is 13th-fastest in South Jersey history.

And Willingboro was first across the line in Group 2, with Maya Bolden, junior Aaliyah Robinson, junior Kaila Speight and senior Nester Wea running 48.17, matching their time from the Deptford Spartan Relays earlier this month. They broke the Group 2 meet record of 48.46 set in 2015 by Deptford’s Kayla Tucker, Sundasia Baker, Taylor Ransom and Kiara Lester.
