Delsea junior Hannah Nuhfer recorded the best discus throw by a South Jersey girl in 12 years Saturday at the Woodbury Relays and moved to within one inch of the all-time New Jersey top 10.
Nuhfer opened her series with a 153-2 throw but added three more throws of 143 or more – 143-5, 143-3 and 146-1 in an outstanding series.
Her mark is No. 6 in South Jersey history and No. 11 in state history, one inch out of the No. 10 spot occupied by Brick’s DeAnne Hahn, who threw 153-3 at the 2008 Ocean County Championships at Neptune.
Nuhfer’s previous PR was a 152-6 at last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. Her 153-2 is No. 1 in New Jersey this year and best by a South Jersey girl since Jessica Woodard of Cherokee threw 168-10 in 2013.
Nuhfer PR’d in the shot put at 46-4 earlier this month at the Deptford Spartan Relays. That’s No. 2 in New Jersey this year.
Nuhfer is one of only six girls in state history to throw 153 feet in the discus and 46 feet in the shot:
