Salem’s Anthony Parker runs fastest times in New Jersey Group 1 in both hurdles at Salem County meet!!!!!!

Monster performance by Salem senior Anthony Parker Tuesday at the Salem County Championships at Pennsville with three wins and a county record.

Parker won the 110-meter hurdles in a county-record 14.32, won the 400-meter hurdles in 56.35, won the long jump at 20-8 ½ and placed 3rd in the 200 in 23.07.

Both hurdles times are fastest in New Jersey Group 1 this year and his long jump mark is 5th-best.

Parker dropped his hurdles PR from 14.75, which he ran at last year’s Salem County meet this past May at Salem. Salem County hurdlers have run faster hand times – Billy Newmuis of Penns Grove ran 13.8 in 1982 and George Bland of Penns Grove ran 13.9 in 1986. But Parker’s 14.32 is the fastest FAT time in county history, 2-100ths of a second faster than Penns Grove’s Jason Stefanski ran at 2016 South Jersey Group 1 sectionals at Egg Harbor. That 14.32 is fastest in South Jersey this year and 3rd-fastest in New Jersey.

Parker’s 400IH time isn’t quite a PR. He ran slightly faster last May – 55.26 at the Tri-County Conference Championships at Delsea.

The 20-8 ½ is an outdoor PR by a quarter of an inch. He jumped 20-8 ¼ at last year’s Salem County meet, where he was 2nd to Schalick’s David Stewart. More on Stewart later. Parker has jumped farther indoors with a 22-5 at the Meet of Champions last month at Ocean Breeze.

The fastest freshman girl 1,500 runner in the U.S. grew up in South Jersey and was the N.J. Middle School XC champion last fall … You won’t believe her times!!!!!!

The fastest freshman in the country at 1,500 meters is a former South Jersey middle school star who now lives about 5,000 miles away.

Sadie Krueger, who attended Northern Burlington Middle School last year, is now a freshman at Moanalua High School in Honolulu, and she’s the fastest 9th-grader in the U.S. in the 1,500 meters and one of the fastest at 800 meters.

Krueger won the New Jersey Middle School Cross Country Championships in Montgomery Township in October of 2023, and then ran 5:07.91 at Cherokee Night of Distance last June.

Her family moved to Florida during the summer, and in her first season of high school cross country, she placed 6th in Foot Locker West Regionals in Walnut, Calif., earning a spot at Foot Locker Nationals in San Diego, where she was one of only two freshmen to qualify.

Also in that race was her close frien Liliah Gordon, who would have been her teammate at Northern Burlington this year if her family had stayed in New Jersey. Imagine that distance medley?

This spring, Krueger has PR’d at every distance from 400 to 3,200, running 59.63 on her home track in Honolulu, 2:13.34 for 800 meters at the Arcadia Invitational outside Los Angeles, 4:34.47 in the 1,500 on her home track and 10:23.86 for 3,000, also in a home meet.

She’s No. 1 in Hawaii regardless of grade in the 800 and 1,500, and MileSplit doesn’t show any faster 1,500 times, although their database only goes back about 20 years. If anybody out there is an expert on Hawaii state track records let us know if that’s a state record. I found this story [click here] that seems to have some information about Hawaii state records, but it’s behind a paywall in the Star-Advertiser newspaper and I somehow don’t have an acount.

In the MileSplit national database, Krueger is No. 1 in the 1,500 and No. 14 in the 800 and No. 9 in the 3,000.

Timber Creek’s Ryan Jennings runs N.J. #1 times in both short sprints in California, 5th-fastest time in state history in the 200!!!!!!

Timber Creek senior Ryan Jennings made the long journey to Southern California a worthwhile one when she won the invitational 100- and 200-meter dashes at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., with the fastest times this year by a New Jersey sprinter in both races.

Jennings won the 100 in 11.51 with a legal 1.0 meters-per-second wind, then won the 200 with a lifetime-best 23.46, the 5th-fastest legal-wind 200 ever run in New Jersey.

Jennings has run faster in the 100 – her 11.33 at Group 3 sectionals last spring at Delsea is the former state record and still No. 2 in state history – but her 23.46 lowers her PR from 23.86 from last May, also at Delsea.

Jennings’ former teammate, Naylah Jones, broke Jennings’ state record when she ran 11.23 a week later at the state Group 3 meet at Delsea. Jones set the South Jersey record in the 200 at 23.29 the same weekend.

So Jones and Jennings are No. 1 and 2 in state history in the 100, and No. 3 and 5 in the 200. Jones is now a freshman at Rutgers. They’re 1-2 in South Jersey history in both sprints.

Jennings’ 23.46 moves her up to 7th-fastest ever by a South Jersey high school alum. Jones and Jennings are 4th- and 8th-fastest all-time on the South Jersey alumni list in the 100.

Timber Creek will run the 400-meter relay at 11:50 a.m. Friday and the South Jersey Large-School 1,600-meter relay at 12:20 p.m. Saturday.

Billie Frazier, Samiyah Puckett and Taylor Gaines will join Jennings on both relay teams. Timber Creek set a meet record in the South Jersey Large-School 4-by-4 race last year with Jones, Frazier, Gaines and Jennings running 3:46.04.

Paul VI’s Cara Doyle of Misericordia is top hurdler in the MAC after remarkable breakthrough as college freshman!!!!!!

Paul VI graduate Cara Doyle, who had a high school hurdles PR of 17.40, is now a freshman at Misericordia and the top hurdler in her conference.

Doyle ran 15.00 last week with a legal 1.2 meters-per-second tailwind to win the 100-meter hurdles by nearly two seconds at the Misericordia Invitational in Dallas, Pa.

In only her 4th outdoor hurdles race in college, she’s now No. 3 in school history behind co-school record holders Reilly Wagner [14.46 in 2017] and Hilari Norris [14.46 in 2014].

Wagner holds the school’s freshman record with a 14.93 as part of a heptathlon in Westfield, Mass., in the spring of 2016, so Doyle is 7-100ths of a second away from that mark.

Doyle’s high school PR of 17.40 came at Cherokee last April. But she had a breakthrough early in indoor season when she placed 3rd in the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships over the 60-meter highs in 9.33 (after a 9.32 in the trials). That’s 4th-fastest in school history.

Doyle, from Woolwich Township, ran a four-second 400 PR of 1:01.85 in her first college outdoor race in Lexington, Va., last month, then ran a five-second 400 hurdles PR of 1:05.95 a week later in Chester, Pa., where she also PR’d in the highs at 15.42 before dropping all the way down to 15.00 this past week.

Doyle is the fastest freshman in the MAC since 2021, when Laura Matthews of Stevens Institute and Morris Hills High ran 14.61.

Misericordia will race in the Centennial/MAC 1,600-meter relay at the 129th annual Penn Relays at 7:20 p.m. Friday. Doyle is listed as the 3rd leg.

Eastern’s Aaron Brooks races to 4th-fastest 110 hurdles time in Monmouth history at Rutgers!!!!!!

Eastern’s Aaron Brooks recorded the 4th-fastest high hurdles time in Monmouth history Saturday in Piscatway.

Brooks lowered his PR to a wind-legal 14.38 with a 3rd-place finish at the Rutgers Relays. He had just PR’d at 14.43 earlier this month in Fairfax, Va. As of a month ago, his PR over the 42-inch barriers was 14.90.

The only faster hurdlers on the Monmouth all-time list are school record holder Jalen Walker of Burlington Township (14.15 in 2015), Terrell Gissendanner of Rochester (14.20 in 2010) and Geordan Ferguson of Manchester Township (14.33 in 2016).

Brooks, a sophomore, is 9th on the Coastal Athletic Conference performance list. He’s also 5th in the long jump [23-11 ½ earlier this month in Fairfax, 6th in Monmouth history]. He’s triple jumped over 47 feet in the past but hasn’t triple jumped this spring.

Brooks uncle is 1995 Eagles 2nd-round draft pick Barrett Brooks, who currently hosts Birds Huddle on NBC Sports Philadelphia and is on the panel for the Eagles pre- and post-game shows.

THEY’RE BACK!!!!!! Amirah and Arianna Sharpe, now at Arkansas, are back running fast, and Amirah ran the 8th-fastest 400 ever by a South Jersey woman Saturday in Gainesville!!!!!!!!!!!!

In her 2nd 400 competing for Arkansas, Clayton graduate Amirah Sharpe ran the 8th-fastest 400 ever by a South Jersey woman.

Sharpe, who began her collegiate career at Auburn with twin sisters Arianna and Ariel and is now a sophomore at Arkansas, ran 52.78 at the Tom Jones Invitational Saturday at the University of Florida’s Percy Beard Track in Gainesville.

Sharpe raced for Auburn at the NCAA East Prelims in Jacksonville in May of 2023 and ran 53.84 and then didn’t compete in a college race again according to the Track and Field Results Reporting Service until a meet last weekend in Fayetteville, where she PR’d with a 53.06. She lowered her PR again Saturday and became the 10th South Jersey woman to run sub-53. She competed unattached last year with a best time of 53.90 in Atlanta.

Her time is 2nd-fastest ever by a Gloucester County woman. Twin sister Arianna ran 52.42 at Clemson indoors in February of 2023. That is the fastest indoor time ever run by a South Jersey woman. Her outdoor PR is 53.28 in Tallahassee in March of 2023, so Arianna now has the Gloucester County record for the indoor 400 and Amirah has the record for the outdoor 400.

Arianna is also now at Arkansas and ran 53.49 Saturday in a different race than her sister ran. Like Amirah, Arianna last competed for Auburn in the spring of 2023. She did compete in a few 400s unattached last year according to World Athletics, including a 53.32 in Jacksonville. Arianna won her 400 race in 53.49.

Arkansas ran two 4-by-4s Saturday in Gainesville, that ran 3:23.69 – 2nd-fastest in NCAA Division 1 this year – and 3:27.67 – 6th-fastest in D-1 this year. Arianna wasn’t on either one. Amirah led off the 3:27.67 team with a 52.X split.

Here’s my best attempt at an all-time South Jersey sub-53 400-meter dash list (I kept Halima Scott in the list because 53.01 is close enough!):

DELSEA’S HANNAH NUHFER BOMBS #11 DISCUS THROW IN STATE HISTORY AT WOODBURY!!!!!!!!!!!!

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:

Alyssa Wilson, Donovan Catholic, 2017 [182-0, 58-1]
Layla Giordano, Old Tappan, 2024 [172-2, 50-0]

Winslow boys blaze fastest 400- and 800-meter relay times in New Jersey this year in monster Woodbury Relays sprint performance!!!!!!!!!

Winslow ran the fastest 4-by-2 in New Jersey this year and 8th-fastest all-time South Jersey Saturday at the Woodbury Relays.

Junior KaRon Ali, senior Jayden Poteat, junior Nyqir Helton and senior Kristopher Jackson won the Group 3 race in 1:27.22, Winslow’s fastest time since Reuben McCoy, Anthony Miles, Albert Harris and Antraye Miles set the still-standing South Jersey record 1:24.49 when they won 2003 Raleigh Nationals.

Their time is No. 23 on the all-time state list.

Winslow broke the Group 3 and overall meet record of 1:27.38 set in 2016 by Paul VI’s Erich Robertson, Antonio Tarantino, Max Dickens and Conor McAneney.

Camden, Rancocas Valley, Deptford, Williamstown and Clearview also broke 1:30, giving Woodbury six of the nine-fastest teams in New Jersey so far this year.

 Camden won the Group 1 race in 1:29.02 with juniors Jaiden Steele, Wasi Muhammad, Chase Robinson and Christian Braxton;

 Rancocas Valley won Group 4 in 1:27.03 with senior David Smith junior Julian Coppage-Seepersaud, junior Jameer Bellamy and junior Thomas Howard Jr.;

 Deptford was 2nd to Winslow in Group 3 in 1:29.49 with junior Kareem Brown, senior Neo Clark-Tabb, senior Kamari Brown and sophomore Xavion Holmes;

 Williamstown was 2nd in Group 4 in 1:29.67 with sophomore Nasir Buchanan, senior Sam Bruno, freshman Elijah Campbell and sophomore Ian Israel Jr. running 1:29.67;

 Clearview took 3rd in Group 3 in 1:29.88 with senior Matthew Niebalski, senior Steven Niebalski, junior Evan Libucki and junior Michael Pelosi.

Winslow also won the 4-by-100 in a New Jersey No. 1 42.00 with Ali, Jackson, Poteat and Helton racing.

Also under 43 seconds were Rancocas Valley in 42.62 with Bellamy, Coppage-Seepersaud, Smith and Howard, Camden in 42.68 with Robinson, Wasi Muhammad, junior Ibn Muhammad and Steele, Millville at 42.71 with junior Ryan Dingle, senior Chevon Ellis, junior Jaiden Church and senior Asaias Johnson, Williamstown in 42.78 with junior Jasiah Gibbons, Campbell, Israel Jr. and senior Kojo Amissah and Deptford’s 42.95 with Clark-Tabb, Kareem Brown, Holmes and Kamari Brown.

ROWAN’S ALL-SOUTH JERSEY 4X1 RUNS FASTEST TIME IN NCAA DIVISION 3 THIS YEAR AS S.J. SPRINTERS GO NUTS IN ATLANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With an all-South Jersey lineup, Rowan ran the fastest 400-meter relay in NCAA Division 3 this year this weekend and one of the fastest times in Division 3 history.

Junior Masai Byrd from Rancocas Valley, freshman Shamar Love of Bridgeton, sophomore Eli Hendricks of Penns Grove and junior Evan Corcoran of Kingsway ran 40.27 and placed 3rd at the Georgia Tech Invitational at George C. Griffin Track in Atlanta.

Rowan finished behind only NAIA school Cumberlands of Williamsburg, Ky., which won the race in 39.94, and Division 1 Troy (Ala.).

Incredibly, a second Rowan team consisting of four hurdlers – All-Americas Kwaku Nkrumah, freshman Jamir Brown of Riverside and Jason Agyemang, with Valentin Augustin anchoring – ran 41.83.

The 40.27 is No. 21 all-time in Division 3 and Rowan’s 3rd-fastest time ever. In 2023, the Profs ran 40.14 with Love, Sterling’s Jah’mere Beasley, Nana Agyemang (no relation ot Jason) and Corcoran. That’s No. 4 in Division 3 history. The same quartet ran 40.36 a couple day earlier.

Also in Atlanta, Highland graduate Robert McKinney, a Rowan senior, ran a crazy 200 PR of 21.29 in Atlanta, fastest time in the NJAC this year and a PR of nearly a 3rd of a second. His previous wind-legal PR was a 21.58 from a meet at Widener last May.

That 21.29 looks like the 2nd-fastest all-time at Rowan, behind only Jah’mere Beasley’s school-record 20.91, which he ran twice at the 2022 NCAA Division 3 Championships in Geneva, Ohio. His time is No. 14 in Division 3 this year. Hendricks also ran hot in the 200 with a PR 21.34, No. 18 in Division 3.

Also, Hendricks, Corocran, Love, McKinney and Byrd ran the 3rd-through-7th-fastest 100 times in the NJAC this year, 10.63 for Hendricks, 10.68 for Corcoran, 10.69 for Love, 10.71 for McKinney and 10.77 for Byrd. Season-bests for all of them and lifetime bests for Hendricks, McKinney and Byrd.

Senior James Coleman from Audubon, freshman Luke Halbruner from Ocean City, and junior Jarquil Young from Sterling all ran 400 PRs, 48.46 for Coleman, 48.61 for Halbruner and 48.72 for Young. They’re No. 2, 3 and 4 in the NJAC behind Rowan senior Samael Milevoix from Union County Vo-Tech.

One other note from Atlanta – Riverside’s Brown, the top-ranked high hurdler in Division 3, ran his first college 400-meter hurdles race Saturday and PR’d in 52.83, the fastest time in the NJAC this year, 5th-fastest in Division 3 and 6th-fastest in Rowan history. His previous PR was 53.32 when he won Group 1 sectionals last spring at Pennsauken.

EGG HARBOR’S AHMAD BROCK JOINS 25-FOOT CLUB WITH #2 JUMP IN MONMOUTH HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Egg Harbor’s Ahmad Brock, a senior at Monmouth, joined the 25-foot club Saturday on his final attempt at the Rutgers Invitational in Piscataway.

Brock jumped 25-3 ½ with the maximum allowable legal tailwind at 2.0 meters per second. His mark is No. 2 in Monouth history, behind only Khalid Slocum, whose best jump was 25-11 ¼ in Charlottesville on April 19, 2019 – exactly six years before Brock’s jump.

Brock’s previous PR was a 24-7 two weeks ago in a meet in Fairfax, Va. Brock’s 25-3 ½ is No. 1 in the Coastal Athletic Conference. He’s also run 10.63 in the 100 this spring, and he’s No. 6 in school history in the triple jump at 48-3 ½, although he hasn’t triple jump in over a year.

On the all-time South Jersey alumni performance list, Brock becomes the 11th known 25-footer and moves into the No. 9 spot. His jump appears to be the best ever by an Atlantic County native, 1 ½ inches past Paul Klemic of Mainland and Stockton, who jumped 25-2 in 2005.

Brock opened with a 23-3 1/4 , a foul and a 23-7 ¾ and another foul. He popped the PR on his fifth attempt before passing his final jump.

His jump is the best wind-legal jump by an athlete in the CAA – which used to be the Colonial Athletic Conference and is now the Coastal Athletic Conference – since Kyle Darrow of Northeastern jumped 25-10 ¼ to place 6th at the 2018 NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore.
