Nester Wea, Maya Bolden, Kaila Speight, Jade Pinder race Willingboro into 400-meter relay championship at West Philly Nationals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Willingboro senior Nester Wea, sophomore Maya Bolden, junior Kaila Speight and sophomore Jade Pinder advanced to the 400-Meter Relay final at West Philly Nationals Saturday at Franklin Field.

The Chimeras ran 46.87, not far off their 46.71 from the Meet of Champions, 10th-fastest in state history and 3rd-fastest in South Jersey history.

The 400-meter relay is only two rounds, so only the eight-fastest teams out of 70 entrants advanced.

Willingboro won the 8th of nine semifinal races and finished with the 6th-fastest qualifying time. The cutoff was 47.00. Willingboro is the only New Jersey school that advanced. Pennsauken, with juniors Sanaya Dupree, Olivia Dupree, sophomore Abigayle John and junior Sianni Wynn, who won the 100 on Friday, ran 47.28 and finished 11th overall.

Rancocas Valley ran 48.61 with junior Angelina Brown, junior Rhyann Roseboro, senior Jordyn Hickson and junior Autumn Austin.

The final is scheduled for 1:28 p.m. on Sunday.

Burlington Twp. sprints to 400-Meter Relay Championship race at West Philly Nationals!!!!!!!!

Burlington Township junior Solomon Wesley-Passewe, junior Gemaus Sackie, senior Yeator Tappia and junior Quayd Hendryx ran 41.36 and advanced to the 400-Meter Relay Championship final Sunday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Only the eight-fastest of 94 teams that competed in 14 heats advanced to the final, but the Falcons won the 3rd heat running unpressed and then hung on for 11 more races to watch their time hold up as a qualifier.

All teams running 41.48 or faster advanced. Township’s 41.36 was 6th-fastest but only 13-100ths of a second out of the top three.

Township set a state record of 40.75 at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken earlier this month.

Bergen Catholic of Oradell also qualified for the final with the 2nd-fastest overall qualifying time, a 40.92 in in the 4th heat. That’s tied for 2nd-fastest in state history with 2003 Winslow Township.

The final is scheduled for 1:28 p.m. Sunday

THE SOUTH JERSEY CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE CONTINUES AS LINDENWOLD’S EGYPT BOLAN WINS NATIONAL HIGH JUMP TITLE AND DESTROYS SOUTH JERSEY RECORD WITH #3 JUMP IN N.J. HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindenwold junior Egypt Bolan finished the greatest high jump season in South Jersey history Saturday with a South Jersey record, a national championship and an undefeated record against U.S. competition.

Bolan cleared 5-10 ¾ to win the high jump at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field and break the South Jersey record of 5-10 ½ set by West Deptford’s Megan Kirschling at the 2012 Group Group 2 meet at South Plainfield.

Bolan joins Eastern’s Natalie Dumas, Delsea’s Hannah Nuhfer and Pennsauken’s Sianni Wynn as the 4th South Jersey underclass girl to win a national title this week.

Bolan’s only loss this year came at the Penn Relays, also at Franklin Field, where she finished 3rdbehind two Jamaican jumpers but PR’d at 5-8 ¾. She improved to 5-9 when she won the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken earlier this month.

On Saturday, Bolan cleared 5-3, 5-4 ½, 5-6, 5-7 ¼ and 5-8 ½ on her 1st attempts, and she was the only jumper who was clean through 5-6 so she put the rest of the field on notice that she was the one to beat.

By the time she cleared a lifetime-best 5-9 ¾ – also on her 1st attempt – there was only one other jumper left, sophomore Paige Fessler from Valley Stream North High in Hempstead, Nassau County, N.Y.  But although that 5-9 ¾ was a PR for her, she also had misses at four earlier heights, so she had to not just clear the same height as Bolan to beat her, she had to do it on fewer misses.

Bolan and Fessler were the only jumpers at 5-10 ¾, which Bolan cleared on her 2nd attempt. Fessler, who just set her PR of 5-9 when she won the New York state title at Middletown High, missed all three attempts, and the national title belonged to Bolan.

Bolan took three tries at 5-11 ½ before the celebration began along the White Horse Pike.

The only New Jersey jumpers to go higher are Jenna Rogers of Ridgewood, who cleared 6-0 ¾ at 2017 Greensboro Nationals, and Randolph’s Tatiana Smolin, who cleared 5-11 in 1983 at the TAC Junior Championships at Penn State.

Bolan broke the Camden County record of 5-10 set by Tierra Hooker of Timber Creek several times in 2019 and 2020.

Five high jumpers from South Jersey have jumped higher: Priscilla Frederick of Paul VI cleared 6-3 in 2015 in Toronto; MaryBeth Labosky from Holy Cross cleared 6-1 ½ in 1992 in Lawrence, Kan.; Olympic hurdler Nia Ali cleared 6-1 ¼ during a heptathlon in Tucson in 2011; Willingboro’s Kenady Wilson cleared 6-0 ¾ in Greensboro, N.C., in 2022; and Sterling’s Jenovia Logan cleared 5-11 ¼ in Tampa in March.

Her jump makes her the No. 41 U.S. woman and No. 4 on the 2025 U.S. Under-20 performance list.

Glassboro freshmen Alex Adeleye, Moses Robles, Mehki Parker off to great starts at West Philly Nationals!!!!!!!!

Some impressive results Friday from Glassboro’s terrific freshman class at West Philly Nationals.

Alexander Adeleye placed 2nd in the freshman long jump with a lifetime wind-legal best of 22-6 ½ with a 1.6 tailwind. He also had legal jumps of 21-0, 20-11 ¾, 20-7 ¼ and 20-5 ¼ in an outstanding series.

Adeleye had a 22-9 ½ at the Meet of Champions, where he placed 6th, but his previous-best legal jump was a 21-11 at the state Group 1 meet at Somerset.

That 22-6 ½ appears to be a South Jersey freshman record, although it’s possible someone could have jumped farther as a freshman in the 1970s or early 1980s. The best previous jump I have listed is 22-2 ¾ by Bordentown’s Matt Rose in 1982. Carl Lewis and Gerard Reynolds didn’t jump 22-6 as freshmen and if they didn’t I don’t know who could have.

Adeleye also PR’d in the 100 with an 11.27. His previous best was 11.33 at the South Jersey Invitational at Delsea.

Another Glassboro freshman, Mehki Parker, ran 56.33, not a PR but good enough for 2ndplace in the freshman 400-meter hurdles. He finished less than half a second behind winner Chanon Palmer, who has apparently never competed for a high school but attends high school somewhere in Michigan. Parker’s 400IH PR is 55.47 from sectionals, fastest by a South Jersey freshman behind Alex Reber’s 54.38 for Cherry Hill East in 2010.

And another Glassboro 9th-grader, Moses Robles, took 5th in the freshman high jump at 6-2 ¼, a lifetime best. His previous PR was a 6-2 last month at the Tri-County Conference meet at Delsea.

He also placed 14th in the long jump with a 20-5 with a legal 2.0 tailwind on his 1st jump.

Adeleye, Parker and Robles are each the No. 1 freshman in New Jersey this year.

Parker is also the top high hurdler and triple jumper in New Jersey this year. He’ll compete in the freshman division of both Saturday. Robles is also in the triple jump, and Adeleye will run the freshman 200.

Largely on the strength of their tremendous freshman class, which also includes distance runner Joe Saicic, Glassboro won the South Jersey Group 1 title and placed 3rd at states.

Cherokee, Winslow and Moorestown girls re-write all-time South Jersey 3,200-meter relay list at West Philly Nationals!!!!!!!!

The Cherokee and Winslow girls ran the 6th– and 8th-fastest times in South Jersey history Friday evening in the unseeded section of the 3,200-meter relay at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field. Moorestown made it three South Jersey teams under 9:17.

Cherokee ran 9:06.96, Winslow 9:10.15 and Moorestown 9:16.20. All three are school records and all three broke school records set earlier this year.

Cherokee, Winslow and Moorestown placed 3rd, 5th and 6th when scored just in the unseeded sections of the 4-by-8. But they placed 10th, 12th and 15th overall including times from the seeded races.

For Cherokee, Alyssa Suriano led off with a 2:16:01 leg, Megan Niglio ran 2:20.22, Sofia Recinto split 2:13.56 and Madeline Meder anchored in 2:17.19. Cherokee broke its school record of 9:13.67 from the Penn Relays in April. Cherokee did run 9:07.27 indoors at 2022 Armory Nationals. Their time is fastest by a Burlington County school in 13 years, since Lenape ran 9:05.62 at 2012 Greensboro Nationals.

Winslow also broke a school record set earlier this year. Their previous school record was 9:17.50 from Group 3 Sectionals last month at Delsea. Freshman Amariah Arango led off with a 2:13.54, followed by senior Ava Millner at 2:15.93, freshman Adaiah Arango with a 2:20.09 and Tristan Hughes 2:20.59.

For Moorestown, freshman Hope Edwards led off in 2:14.88, Sophia Di Fiore ran 2:24.32, senior Sarah Brown ran 2:23.62 on the 3rd leg and freshman Payton Derer anchored in 2:13.40. Their previous school record was 9:18.34 from the Meet of Champions earlier this month at Pennsauken. Moorestown’s time is No. 16 on the all-time South Jersey list and No. 7 on the Burlington County list.

RIVERSIDE’S JAMIR BROWN LOWERS HIS NCAA DIVISION 3 HURDLES RECORD AT USATF JUNIORS, 2ND-FASTEST QUALIFIER FOR FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (edit – they used the HS 39-inch hurdles at USATF Under-20 so never mind)

Got a message last night from Rowan coach Dustin Dimit that they ran these races at USATF juniors over the high school 39-inch hurdles instead of the 42-inch college / pro / open hurdles for some reason.

So a good couple days for Jamir Brown but these times do not count.

Riverside’s Jamir Brown ran a lifetime-best 13.50 in the trials of the 110-meter hurdles Friday at the
USATF Under-20 Championships.

Brown set an NCAA Division 3 record of 13.60 as a Rowan freshman in the prelims of the the New Jersey Athletic Conference meet in Ewing. Presumably, the 13.50 will count as the new D-3 record, even though it came after the end of the college season. Under-20 Nationals are an extension of the season.

In any case, Brown was the 2nd-fastest qualifier into Saturday’s finals. Ja’shaun Lloyd, a senior at Corsicana [Texas] High and the Armory Nationals champ in March over the 39-inch 60-meter hurdles, led all qualifiers with a 13.48.

Brown’s time is 11th-fastest ever by a New Jersey native over the 42-inch barriers and 5th-fastest by a South Jersey hurdler.

His 13.50 is No. 33 among all U.S. men this year and No. 5 on the world Under-20 list.

Normally, the top two finishers in the final would represent the U.S. at either World Juniors or Pan Am Juniors. But the U.S. announced earlier this month that they would not be sending a team to Pan Am Junior Championships in Villavicencio, Columbia, next month because of safety concerns.

Brown will be in Lane 5 for the final, scheduled for 8:51 p.m. Friday.

MOORESTOWN’S HOPE EDWARDS RUNS 11TH-FASTEST 400 HURDLES TIME IN SOUTH JERSEY HISTORY AT WEST PHILLY NATIONALS — IN FRESHMAN RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moorestown’s Hope Edwards ran a mind-blowing intermediate hurdles PR Friday and the 3rd-fastest time in New Jersey history by a freshman.

Edwards placed 2nd in the freshman 400 hurdles at West Philly Nationals Friday at Franklin Field in 1:00.32, a PR of more than three seconds. Her previous best was a 1:03.37 when she placed 13th at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken earlier this month.

Her time was fast enough that it would have placed 13th in the championship division of the 400-meter hurdles.

It’s 11th-fastest in South Jersey history, 4th-fastest in Burlington County history and fastest by a Burlington County girl in 24 years, since Willingboro’s Danielle Myricks ran a hand-timed 1:00.1 at 2001 South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Egg Harbor.

Edwards broke the South Jersey freshman class record of 1:00.63 set by Winslow Township’s Krystal Cantey at the 2003 state Group 4 meet at Egg Harbor.

The only faster freshmen in state history are four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin, who ran 55.63 as a freshman at the 2014 USATF Junior National Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., and Tawana Watkins of Paterson Kennedy, who ran 59.71 at 1999 Raleigh Nationals.

Edwards also ran 2:13.65, which broke the Burlington County freshman record of 2:15.01 set by Shawnee’s Julia Despirito at the 2011 Group 4 state meet at Old Bridge. Edwards’ teammate, Payton Derer, was also under that mark with her 2:14.83 at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Delsea.

WILLINGBORO’S KAILA SPEIGHT, MAYA BOLDEN, JADE PINDER, NESTER WEA SHATTER SOUTH JERSEY 800-METER RELAY RECORD, EARN ALL-AMERICA HONORS AT WEST PHILLY NATIONALS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Willingboro junior Kaila Speight, sophomore Maya Bolden, sophomore Jade Pinder and senior Nester Wea smashed the South Jersey 800-meter relay record on Day 2 of West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field, the 4thgirls South Jersey record broken on Friday.

The Chimeras placed 5th in 1:37.96, breaking the South Jersey record of 1:38.43 set by Winslow Township’s Janeya Hammond, Flora Ahiarakwe, Nylah Perry and Shakira Dancy at 2018 Greensboro Nationals.

Willingboro ran its 1:37.96 in an unseeded heat – 8th out of 10 – and was unpressed, winning that race by nearly two seconds.

Willingboro also placed 5th last year, in 1:39.78 with Speight, Bolden, Jaden Murry and Wea. That was the former Burlington County record. So back-to-back All-America finishes in the 4-by-2 for the Chimeras.

Willingboro’s time is 6th-fastest in state history. Union Catholic set the state record of 1:35.89 in the final heat, placing 2nd to Bullis School of Potomac, Md.

Kingsway ran 1:40.45 in the same race, placing 11th overall with the 13th-fastest time in South Jersey history and a Gloucester County record.

Freshman Talia Griscom, senior Camryn Stanard, freshman Noemi Haller and senior Jonnelle Lewis broke the county record of 1:41.85 set by Deptford’s Sundasia Baker, Taylor Ransom, Kayla Tucker and Kiara Lester at the 2015 Woodbury Relays.

ASTONISHING NATALIE DUMAS ANCHOR LEG LEADS EASTERN SPRINT MEDLEY TO 2ND PLACE AT WEST PHILLY NATIONALS AND 12TH-FASTEST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Less than two hours after running the 6th-fastest 400-meter hurdles time in U.S. scholastic history and winning a national title, Natalie Dumas anchored Eastern to the 12th-fastest sprint medley in U.S. history with a 2:03.90 split.

Eastern ran 3:53.15 at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field Friday, breaking a 22-year-old South Jersey record by SIX SECONDS and placing 2nd to Rumson-Fair Haven, whose 3:50.10 is 4th-fastest in U.S. history.

Only Stanford-bound Clemmie Lilley’s monster anchor of her own – 2:03.49 running fresh – kept Rumson ahead of Eastern in the 1-2 New Jersey finish. Dumas and Lilley placed 1-2 in the Meet of Champions earlier this month at Pennsauken.

Senior Johnna Gonter and senior Jasmine Davies ran the 200s for Eastern and senior Samantha Osei-Kyei ran the 400, with Dumas getting the stick in 6th place in a loaded field at 1:49.25.

She passed the entire field other than Rumson, earning All-America honors for the Vikings quartet.

Eastern shattered the South Jersey record of 3:59.6, set in 2003 by Willingboro’s Rhea Mann, Chanel Hamilton, Rasheda Spratley and Okechi Ogbuokiri at its own relay meet – it was called the Eastern Regional Relay Classic that year. There’s a funny story about that race which I’ll share at the end of this post.

Dumas is now in the top-20 in U.S. scholastic history in four events – the 400, 800 and intermediates as an individual and the sprint medley as part of a relay team. She’s scheduled to race the 400 on Saturday and the 800 on Sunday.

In the previous heat, Winslow ran 4:03.47, first overall in their race. That held up for 9th place overall and is No. 12 in South Jersey history.

Sophomores Cinniya Robinson and Skyhe Seamon ran the 200s, freshman Adaiah Arango the 400 and freshman Amariah Arango anchored in 2:15.22.

[p.s. – About that Willingboro sprint medley in 2003. That meet was hand-timed and not very well. I was standing at the finish line and had Willingboro in something like 3:59.54, and Willingboro coach Tosca Bynoe had something similar on her watch. So we both agreed they had run what would be 3:59.6, since you round up with hand timing. But a woman on the finish line who was recording the winner, scribbled 3:59.6 so poorly that the “6” looked like a “0,” and in the results tent it was recorded as a 3:59.0. Now, this being a South Jersey record either way I felt it was important to get the time right. Along with someone from the timing company we went over to the finish line and asked the woman if that was a 0 or a 6. She had no idea. No clue at all. And the timer just decided, well, it looks like a 0 to me so let’s go with 3:59.0. I emphasized that this is a South Jersey record and at the time one of the fastest times in U.S. history and it’s important to get it right and they did not run 3:59.0. They didn’t care. Nobody cared. They just wanted to get paid and go home. So in my records and lists that time has always been recorded as a 3:59.6. Everywhere else, it’s been 3:59.0. And finally, 23 years later, it doesn’t matter because it’s no longer the South Jersey record.]
