Freshman Dylan Giloley from Washington Township smashed the Rider school record in the 100 Saturday in the trials at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships in Lawrenceville.
Giloley ran 11.81 with a legal 1.9 meters-per-second wind to break the school record of 11.95 set by La’tazah Coleman at the 2013 VCU Ram Invitational in Richmond, Va.
Giloley’s previous PR was a 12.03 three weeks ago at the Rider Invitational on the same track.
In the 100 trials, the only faster qualifier for Sunday’s final was Nyasia Dailey of Quinnipiac, who ran 11.74. That broke the meet record of 11.78 set in 2023 in Emmitsburg, Md., by Zionna Perez-Tucker of Mount St. Mary’s (who is now at Coastal Carolina).
Giloley’s time is 4th-fastest all-time by a Gloucester County high school alum, behind Gabrielle Farquharson of Williamstown [11.32 in 2016], Bria Mack of Williamstown [11.52 in 2018] and Shardae Anderson of Paulsboro [11.65 in 2007].
Giloley also PR’d in the 200, qualifying with a 24.77, the 3rd-fastest time into the final. Her previous PR was 24.99 from a meet at Durham, N.C., last month, and her 24.77 is 5th-fastest in Rider history. She had a legal wind reading of -0.1. She did run 24.89 indoors in Boston, 2nd-fastest in school history indoors.
The 100 final is scheduled for 1:20 p.m. Sunday and the 200 final at 2:15 p.m.
