Natalie Dumas completed the greatest triple in U.S. high school track history Sunday with a heart-stopping win in the 800-meter run at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

After winning the 400-meter hurdles Friday with the 6th-fastest time in U.S. history, anchoring Eastern’s sprint medley with the 12th-fastest time in U.S. history and winning the 400 on Saturday with the 6th-fastest time in U.S. history, she ran the 5th-fastest 800 ever by a high school girl and smashed her 2nd state record in two days.

Dumas set South Jersey records in all three of her individual events and her one relay, and she’s the 1st girl in U.S. track history to run sub-52, sub-56 and sub-2:01. And she has a year left.

But the 800 may have been her most impressive race of the weekend.

Emmry Ross of Onsted, Mich., who ran an all-time U.S. 2:00.53 last month in Grand Rapids, took the field out in a ridiculous 58.85, but Dumas was right behind her, coming through the 400 in 59.08. In all five girls were under a minute with a lap to go, but it quickly turned into a two-girl race.

Coming off the final turn, Dumas held a two-stride lead, but Ross swung wide into Lane 3 with Dumas on her inside and actually charged within a foot of Dumas with about 40 meters to go and appeared primed to take the lead.

But Dumas, as she always does, found another gear and grinded out the final few strides with sheer strength as Ross battled mightily to catch her.

The race produced 82 times under 2:15 and 21 under 2:10. Eight girls in the final heat broke 2:06, with six under 2:04. Sadie Englehardt of Ventura, Calif., ran the 19th-fastest time in U.S. history and placed 3rd.

Dumas, who had run a PR 2:02.75 to win the Meet of Champions, broke the state record of 2:00.91 set at the 2012 IAAF World Championships in Barcelona by U.S. indoor record holder Ajee Wilson of Neptune. On Saturday, she broke the state 400 record she shared with four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin.

The only faster time ever recorded in a high school-only race was a 2:00.03 by Roisin Willis of Stevens Point (Wisc.) High at the 2022 Wisconsin state meet in La Crosse, Wisc.

Dumas’s time would have placed 6th at the NCAA Championships in Eugene earlier this month. Her time is No. 58 this year on the World Athletics world list and No. 17 among all American women.

She edged out Rin Kubo of Japan for the top spot on the world Under-20 list. Kubo ran 2:00.28 at Prefectural Shizuoka Stadium in Fukuroi, Kapan, last month.

Her time is also No. 8 on the all-time U.S. Under-20 list, a list that is topped by Trenton’s Athing Mu [1:55.04] and Neptune’s Wilson [1:58.21], both of whom Dumas passed on the all-time high school list on Sunday.

Dumas’s time is below the A standard to qualify for the U.S. Senior Championships in July and August in Eugene, although the USATF won’t accept the time because this wasn’t a USATF meet.

The Willingboro girls ran the 7th-fastest 400-meter relay in state history Saturday at West Philly Nationals and placed 3rd for their 3rd All-America performance in three days.

With a lineup listed in the official results as Kalia Speight, Maya Bolden, Jade Pinder and Nester Wea, the Chimeras ran 46.20 at Franklin Field, just 1-100th of a second off the South Jersey record of 46.19 set by Timber Creek last spring at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Delsea.

Willingboro placed 5th in the 800-meter relay in 1:37.96 on Friday and 2nd in the shuttle hurdles earlier Sunday in 59.25.

Wea has run on all three of those All-America relay teams, and Speight and Bolden were on both the 4-by-1 and 4-by-2.

Bullis School of Potomac, Md., won the race in 44.80 and Archbishop Carroll of Washington, D.C., was 2nd in 45.32, with Willingboro next.

Willingboro lowered the Burlington County record from 46.71 that the Chimeras just set two weeks ago at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken.

Four of the five-fastest 4-by-1 times in South Jersey have come since 2023 – Timber Creek’s 46.19 last year, Willingboro’s 46.20 today, Timber Creek’s 46.43 at 2023 West Philly Nationals and Pennsauken’s 46.95 at the Meet of Champions earlier this month.

The South Jersey record before 2023 was Eastern’s 46.87 in 2003, and that’s now No. 4.

Absegami senior Jaidah Garrett earned All-America honors and moved into the all-time New Jersey long jump top-10 Sunday at West Philly Nationals.

Garrett placed 6^th with a 19-8 on her 3^rd attempt, No. 5 all-time in South Jersey and No. 8 in state history. It’s best by a South Jersey girl since Winslow’s Tiona Tobias jumped 19-8 ¼ at the 2018 state Group 3 meet in Berkeley Township.

She only had two legal jumps, an 18-3 ¾ on her 1^st attempt and the 19-8 on her 3^rd. She was the top New Jersey placer, finishing well ahead of Union Catholic sophomore Morgan Holley, who won the Meet of Champions by three inches over Garrett.

Garrett hit her previous lifetime-best 19-7 at last year’s nationals and placed 8^th, just half an inch out of All-America range. This year, she made All-America by 2 ½ inches.

Garrett this year also ran 12.16  and 24.59. She triple jumped 36-10 ¾ indoors.

Garrett plans to continue her education and track career at the University of Connecticut.

With junior Ben Andrus anchoring in 4:11.50, Haddonfield ran the fastest distance medley by a South Jersey school in 42 years Sunday at West Philly Nationals.

Haddonfield placed 8^th in an insanely fast DMR at Franklin Field in 10:06.48, fastest by a South Jersey school since Willingboro set the then-national-record 10:00.9 at the 1983 Penn Relays.

Senior Bennett Wright led off with a 3:07.50 for 1,200 meters, junior Luke Andresen split 50.73 on the 400 leg, junior Peter Simpson ran the 800 in 1:56.71 to set up Andrus’s anchor leg.

Bernards placed 4^th in 9:55.83 on Brody Watt’s 4:07.71 anchor and Colts Neck was 6^th iin 10:04.28 with Hunter Celkupa anchoring in 4:11.36, giving New Jersey three of the first eight finishers.

Haddonfield broke the Camden County record of 10:10.62 that they set at the 2016 Penn Relays with Derek Gess, Luke Colehower, Austin Stoner and Greg Pelose.

Haddonfield had run 10:13.01 at Penn in April with Wright, Jack Brand, Andresen on the 800 and Andrus anchoring.

On Saturday, 10 schools ran under 10:13, with five under 10 minutes.

The Willingboro and Washington Township girls placed 2^nd and 3^rd in the shuttle hurdles Sunday morning at West Philly Nationals, with Willingboro tying its own Burlington County record and Washington Township breaking the Gloucester County record.

All eight hurdlers from both schools earn All-America honors for the top-six finish.

Willingboro senior Nester Wea, Aaliyah Robinson, sophomore Trinity Brapoh and senior Sunny Oyibo placed 2^nd in 59.25, the same state-leading time they ran at East Brunswick last month and equalling No. 6 in state history. That’s No. 2 in South Jersey history behind Edgewood’s then-national record 59.00 at the 1999 East Coast Relays in Morristown with Yvette Murry, Kierra Clemons, Pam Richardson and Dennean Davis.

Washington Township was 3^rd in 1:00.68, No. 7 in South Jersey history. Senior Meciah Howell, freshman Nia’Leila Cuascut, senior Zaida Taylor and senior Dakota Jones ran for Township, who broke the Gloucester County record of 1:03.47 the Minutemaids set at last year’s West Philly Nationals by Howell, Zarria Oliphant, Taylor and Jones.

The only New Jersey schools to ever run faster than Willingboro are Union Catholic four times from 2015 through 2019, Columbia in 2013 and Edgewood in 1999.

Bullis School of Potomac, Md., won the race in 56.32.

Moorestown senior pole vaulter Hannah Byrd-Leitner earned All-America honors for the 2^ndstraight year Saturday with a 6^th-place finish in the pole vault at West Philly Nationals.

Byrd-Leitner cleared 12-5 ½ on her 1^st attempt, which made the difference between 6^th place and an All-America designation and 7^th place. Vaulters who cleared 12-5 ½ on their 2^ndattempt did not make All-America.

Byrd-Leitner, a three-time Meet of Champions winner, was clean through 11-5 ¾, 12-1 ½ and 12-5 ½ before going out at 12-9 ½. Last year, Byrd-Leitner finished 4^th at 12-7 ½.

Alexander Osayemi finished his phenomenal senior year at Clayton with All-America honors in the 400-meter dash.

Osayemi placed 6^th at West Philly Nationals in 46.94 and finished the season undefeated vs. New Jersey competition.

Osayemi won the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken earlier this month in 46.08, 3^rd-fastest in New Jersey history.

The race was won by Olympic gold medalist Quincy Wilson, a junior at Bullis School in Potomac, Md.

Osayemi this year won state Group 1 titles in the 200, 400 and 400-meter hurdles and finished in the top three in each event at the Meet of Champions.

Ocean City senior Maeve Smith moved into the all-time South Jersey 1,600 top 10 Saturday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Smith ran 4:53.27 for the full mile, which converts to 4:51.57 for 1,600 meters. It’s 10^th-fastest in South Jersey history and 3^rd-fastest in Cape Atlantic Conference history, behind Ocean City’s Renee Tomlin [4:49.11 in 2005] and Mainland Regional’s Alyssa Aldridge [4:51.43 in 2017].

Smith negative-split the race, coming through the 880 in 2:27.70 and coming back in 2:25.58 and closing in 72.06.

Smith, whose 17:08.01 Thursday in the 5,000 is 12^th-fastest in state history, had a previous 1,600 PR of 4:58.68 from her win at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals last month at Delsea. So this is about a 5 ½-second PR.

Smith also ran 10:32.54 at the Meet of Champions. She’s one of only four New Jersey runners to go as fast as Smith for the 1,600, 3,200 and 5,000 and the only one from South Jersey.

The others are Alexa Westley of Warren Hills in 2019 [4:51.13, 10:15.82, 16:34.66], Ashley Higginson of Colts Neck in 2007 [4:47.71, 10:23.28, 16:38.51] and Grace Dwyer of Nottingham in 2016 [4:51.38, 10:21.46, 17:03.13].

Natalie Dumas took down four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin’s state 400-meter dash record Saturday in winning her 2^nd national title in two days and 4^th overall.

Dumas, a junior at Eastern, won the 400 at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field in 51.15, the 6^th-fastest time in U.S. history and fastest in 13 years.

Dumas and McLaughlin shared the state record at 51.87, which McLaughlin ran at the 2016 Meet of Champions in Berkeley Township, and Dumas ran last month at South Jersey Group 4 sectionals at Pennsauken.

On Friday, Dumas won the 400-meter hurdles in 55.99, the 6^th-fastest time in U.S. history. She also anchored Eastern’s sprint medley team, which ran 3:53.15, the 12^th-fastest time in U.S. history. She’ll run the 800 on Sunday, going on with a PR of 2:02.75 – the 18^th-fastest time in U.S. history.

If there was ever any doubt before the 400 final that Dumas is one of the greatest in scholastic track history, there isn’t anymore.

She got a tremendous challenge from senior Sydney Sutton of the Bullis School in Potomac, Md., but held her off, diving across the line and winning by 9-100ths of a second. Sutton was 2^nd in 51.23, the 10^th-fastest time in U.S. scholastic history and the fastest non-winning time ever run by a U.S. high school girl.

Dumas’s 51.14 is fastest by any high school girl since Kadecia Baird of Bedgar Evers Prep in Brooklyn ran 51.04 in the semis of 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona.

It’s fastest in a high school-only race in 25 years, since Monique Henderson of Morse High in San Diego ran 50.74 at the 2000 California State Championships in Sacramento.

Only five women from New Jersey have ever run faster, including Olympic gold medalists McLaughlin [48.74 in 2023] and Trenton’s Athing Mu [49.57 in 2021]. The others are Mikele [50.63] and Me’Lisa [50.87] Barber of Montclair and Bridgeton’s Nadia Davy [50.66 in 2003].

Her time is No. 50 in the world this year, according to the World Athletics database, and No. 17 among U.S. women.

It’s also No. 10 all-time on the world Under-20 list and #4 on the U.S. list, behind Mu [49.57 in Eugene in 2021], Sanya Richards-Ross [49.89 in Sacramento in 2004] and McLaughlin [50.07 in Gainesville in 2018].

It’s No. 1 on the world Under-20 list this year.

Her time would have placed her 5^th in the NCAA Championships in Eugene earlier this month.

South Jersey 11^th-grader girls have now won five national titles in the last two days – two by Dumas and one each by Lindenwold’s Egypt Bolan in the high jump, Pennsauken’s Sianni Wynn in the 100 and Delsea’s Hannah Nuhfer in the discus.

Winslow’s Jasmine Jackson smashed the South Jersey freshman class 100-meter hurdles record as well as the overall Camden County record with a 2^nd-place finish in the freshman race at West Philly Nationals.

Jackson ran a wind-legal 13.73 (0.8 tailwind) and took 2^nd to Nia Armstrong of Sickles High in Tampa, who won the race in 13.53.

The only faster freshman in state history is four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin, who ran 13.34 at 2014 Greensboro Nationals.

Jackson broke her own South Jersey freshman record of 13.94 that she ran at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken earlier this month.

Her time is 3^rd-fastest in South Jersey history with legal wind and tied for 13^th in state history.

Jackson broke the Camden County record of 13.84 set by Camden’s Lenaami Morton when she won the 2017 Meet of Champions at Northern Burlington.

She’s South Jersey’s fastest hurdler with legal wind in 19 years, since future Olympic silver medalist Pleasantville’s Nia Ali ran 13.65 at 2006 Greensboro Nationals.
