Deptford runs 3rd-fastest 4-by-8 in New Jersey this year at Ocean Breeze!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deptford senior Anthony Schilling, senior Zach Harrison, sophomore John Collier and senior Christian Gonzalez teamed up to run the fastest 3,200-meter relay by a Gloucester County school in six years Saturday at Ocean Breeze.

Deptford placed 2nd at the Shoe Company New York Showcase in 8:02.56, 3rd-fastest in New Jrsey this year.

Deptford’s time is 8th-fastest in Gloucester County history indoors and fastest since 2020, when Kingsway set the county record of 7:47.50 at the Meet of Champions, also at Ocean Breeze.

Schilling led off in 1:59.67, Harrison split 2:04.77, Collier ran 1:58.51 and Gonzalez anchored in 1:59.62. Saratoga Springs won the race in 8:01.61.

Only Woodstown, with an 8:00.24 at the Millrose Games, has run faster among South Jersey schools this year. Woodstown and Deptford are now 8th and 16th nationally on the MileSplit U.S. database.

Deptford smashed the indoor school record of 8:10.77 from the 2024 Meet of Champions, also at Ocean Breeze. Deptford set the outdoor South Jersey record of 7:49.00 for a full two miles at the 1967 Delaware Valley Meet of Champions at Franklin Field with Wayne Jenkins, Tom Williams, Jerry Clark and Irv Jenkins. That remained the South Jersey record until Willingboro ran 7:40.99 as part of their 1983 Penn Relays distance relay double and remains Deptford’s outdoor school record.

Tionna Tobias records her best long jump in two years in Boston, now ranked 12th among U.S. woman!!!!!!

Winslow and Iowa graduate Tionna Tobias popped her best long jump since 2024 Saturday at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix at the TRACK at Shoe Company in Boston.

Tobias placed 4th with a jump of 20-10, which ranks her 12th among American jumpers this year.

It was Tobias’s best jump since her historic 22-9 ¼ at the Holloway Pro Classic at Percy Beard Track in Gainesville in July 2024. That’s No. 22 in U.S. history.

Tobias surpassed 20 feet on each of her first four jumps – 20-10, 20-6 ½, 20-0 ½ and 20-1 ½ – before finishing with a foul.

The 20-10 is only 2 ½ inches off her indoor PR. She jumped 21-0 ½ at a meet in Albuquerque in February 2024.

Tobias won the 2023 Big Ten heptathlon in Bloomington and an NCAA hurdle qualifier, but she is now exclusively a long jumper. Her last multi was 2024 Big Ten indoors in Geneva, Ohio, and her last hurdles race was 2024 outdoor NCAAs in Fayetteville, Ark.

Freshman Denirah Jones from Woodbury runs fastest 60 by a Rowan woman in eight years, #2 in NJAC this year!!!!!!!!

Freshman Denirah Jones from Woodbury ran Rowan’s fastest 60-meter dash in eight years Saturday at the Gulden Invitational at Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse.

Jones ran 7.81 in the prelims before a 7.84 in the final. That 7.81 is fastest by a Rowan woman since 2018, when Aaniyah Robinson from Passaic Tech ran 7.77 when she won the NJAC Championships at Ocean Breeze. It looks like it’s 4th-fastst all-time at Rowan, although I could be missing a time or two from back in the day.

Jones ran 7.92 in her first two races, both at Ocean Breeze. Those performances tied her high school PR set at the Ott Center last January.

Jones was a state long jump champ and sectional sprint champ at Woodbury with PRs of 7.39, 12.58 and 18-0.

Her 7.81 on Saturday is No. 2 in the NJAC this year behind only senior Lucia Garcia-Beltran of Hopewell Valley and TCNJ, a Rutgers transfer who ran 7.63 at the Armory earlier this month.

Cherry Hill East’s Alexis Tepper, in 1st race for Bloomsburg, runs fastest 3,000 in PSAC this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alexis Tepper, a UMBC transfer in her first race for Bloomsburg, ran the fastest 3,000 by a Bloomsburg woman in 11 years Saturday in Lewisburg, Pa.

Tepper, from Cherry Hill East, ran 10:01.20 and placed 2nd in the Gulden Invitational on a flat track at Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse, 1-100th of a second behind Bucknell’s Bradley Weldon.

Her time is fastest in the PSAC so far this year.

Tepper’s time is fastest by a Bloomsburg woman since Kate Dodds of Upper Dublin High set the school record of 9:52.10 in a meet at Ithaca’s Barton Hall in February 2024.

Tepper ran 2:14.77, 4:57.08 and 9:56.83 while she was at University of Maryland Baltimore County.

Penn State’s Ajani Dwyer from Washington Twp. scorches Ott Center track for 2nd-fastest 200 in NCAA Division 1 this year!!!!!!!!

Washington Township’s Ajani Dwyer ran the 2nd-fastest 200 in NCAA Division 1 this year Saturday at the Ott Center.

Dwyer, a sophomore at Penn State, won the 200 at the Penn Elite with an indoor PR 20.52, leading Princeton junior Jackson Clarke of Danville (Pa.) to a 20.63, the 3rd-fastest time in the country.

Dwyer is already No. 3 nationally with his 6.55 in the 60 in a meet last weekend in State College.

The 20.52 is just 1-100th of a second off Dwyer’s PR 20.51 from the Big Ten Championsips at Hayward Field in Eugene this past May. His previous indoor PR was 20.65 on the same track last January.

Dwyer’s 200 time is No. 2 in Penn State indoor track history, behind only Olympian Cheickna Traore from Snyder High in Jersey City, who ran 20.30 when he placed 2nd at 2024 NCAA Championships in Boston.

The only South Jersey sprinters who’ve run faster than Dwyer are Olympic gold medalists Carl Lewis [19.75] and Dennis Mitchell [20.09]. Among New Jersey sprinters, only Traore has run faster indoors.

Washington Township’s Dylan Giloley smashes another Rider school record!!!!!!!!

Washington Township’s Dylan Giloley, who blasted the Rider 60-meter dash record earlier this month, took down the 200-meter dash record Saturday at the Armory. It’s her 3rd individual school record in addition to three relay records she’s a part of.

Giloley, who set a school record of 7.55 for 60 meters at the Ott Center, ran 24.58 at the Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher Saturday. That smashed the 12-year-old school record of 24.60 set by La’Tazah Coleman from Appoquinimink High in Middletown, Del., at the 2014 ECAC Championships at Boston University.

Giloley’s previous indoor 200 PR was a 24.89 from ECACs in March again at Boston University. She ran a wind-aided 24.07 outdoors last spring in Lawrenceville, but her wind-legal outdoor PR of 24.77 is 5th-fastest in Rider history. She also holds the school record in the 100 with a 11.73 from Lawrenceville this past May.

One Rowan high jumper bumps another out of the top spot in NCAA Division 3 with #3 jump in school history!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rowan freshman David Brown bumped teammate Jamile Gantt out of the top spot on the NCAA Division 3 high jump list Saturday when he cleared 6-11 at the Armory.

Brown cleared 6-5, 6-7 and 6-9 on his 1st attempts before getting over the bar at 6-11 on his 3rd attempt. He took three jumps at 7-1 as well.

Gantt, a Paulsboro graduate, had been Division 3 No. 1 with his 6-10 ¾ at Ocean Breeze last month.

Rowan now goes 1-2-T5-7 in D-3 with Brown, Gantt, Arrington Rhym from Hamilton West at 6-8 ¾ and Noah Wampole from Radnor at 6-8 ¼. Highland graduate Jayden Deleon, a Rutgers-Camden freshman, is tied with Rhym at No. 5 with a 6-8 ¾ of his own.

Scoring at nationals goes 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1, so if Rowan finished with their current places in the national rankings, they would scored 23 ½ points in the high jump.

Pleasantville’s Isaiah Davenpoert, a Rowan junior, cleared 6-7 Saturday and is No. 14 in D-3. Another Rowan jumper, Damarion Potts from South Brunswick, cleared 6-8 ¼ last year. He cleared 6-5 on Saturday at the Armory. So six current Rowan jumpers have cleared at least 6-7.

Brown, from Edison High, had a high school PR of 6-10 from last year’s indoor state Group 4 meet at the Bubble.

He’s now 3rd on the all-time Rowan indoor list, behind only Jeffrey Jon Tucker of Eastern [7-0 ½ in2015] and Harrison Escoffery from Ewing [7-0 ¼ in 2018]. Gantt is 4th on that list but cleared 6-11 outdoors when he placed 3rd last May at D-3 Nationals in Geneva, Ohio, his 2ndAll-America performance.

Also Monmouth junior David Godbolt from Rancocas Valley placed 4th with a lifetime-best 6-9 clearance.  That’s tied for 5th in Monmouth history with Keven Kevelier of  Collingswood.

Freshman Anthony Parker from Salem misses Rowan long jump record by one inch with 3rd-best jump in Division 3 this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freshman Anthony Parker from Salem came within one inch of the Rowan school record in the long jump Saturday at the Armory.

In his 3rd college meet, Parker won the long jump at the Dr. Sander Scorcher Columbia Challenge with a jump fo 24-1 ½ on his 2nd attempt.

That’s No. 3 in NCAA Division 3 this year and best by a freshman.

Parker’s previous collegiate best was 23-2 ¾ at Ocean Breeze last month in his 1st college meet. He had a high school indoor PR of 22-3 when he placed 4th in the Meet of Champions this past March at Ocean Breeze. His lifetime best before Saturday was 23-9 in a meet at Delsea this past May with no wind gauge at the long jump. His outdoor wind-legal best was 21-7 ¾ at West Philly Nationals, one of the few outdoor meets that has a wind guage at the horizontal jumps.

Parker fell an inch shy of the Rowan record of 24-2 ½ set at this meet two years ago by Ahmir Johnson, a graduate of Wissahickon High in Ambler and a transfer from Gwynedd-Mercy in Lower Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County.

Other than Parker and Johnson, Rowan’s other indoor 24-footer is Nana Agyemang of Parsippany High, who jumped 24-0 ¾ in Rochester in 2022.

Outdoors, Rowan has had four outdoor 24-footers: Johnson [24-9 ¾] ,Agyemang [24-9], Jeffrey Jon Tucker [24-5] and Kyle Hayes [24-0 ¾].

Parker opened with a 22-6 ¼ before the 24-1 ½ on his 2nd attempt. He jumped 22-9 on his final attempt of the trials and then 21-8 ¼, 23-0 ¾, and 23-3 ½ in the finals. He won by half an inch over Carlos Posey of Army West Point, who jumped 24-1.

Parker moves into the No. 3 spot on the NCAA Division 3 performance list, just ahead of Egg Harbor Township’s Ahmad Fogg of Stockton, who jumped 24-0 ¾ at Ocean Breeze last weekend.

Parker is now the No. 2 Salem County alum behind Pennsville’s Manorowitz, who jumped 25-0 ¾ outdoors in Lawrenceville in May 2022. Manorowitz’s indoor best was 24-5 ¾ at the Armory in February 2022.

Parker also ran 14.32 and 56.35 in the hurdles at Salem last year but hasn’t hurdled yet at Rowan.

Monmouth senior Aaron Brooks from Eastern placed 4th with a 23-8 jump., an indoor PR and No. 9 in Monmouth history. Brooks is also No. 4 in school history in the hurdles at 8.12. His previous indoor PR was a 23-3 ½ in Virginia Beach this past February. Brooks has jumped 24-1 ¾ outdoors  and triple jumped 47-0 ¾. Oudoors, he’s 4th in school history in the 110 highs and No. 7 in the long jump. Brooks 23-8 is No. 2 in the Coastal Athletic Conference this year, behind only Marquis White of Hampton, who jumped 23-11 ½ Friday in Lynchburg, Va.

Also Rowan freshman Bright John from Sterling jumped 22-7 ¼. He jumped an. Indoor PR 22-10 last weekend. John jumped a wind-legal PR 23-2 last May at the state Group 2 meet at South Plainfield.

Junior Greg Foster  from Lumberton ran within 1-100th of a second of Princeton’s indoor hurdles record with a PR race Satuday at the Ott Centre.

Foster, who ran a PR 7.83 at Penn last weekend, matched that in the trials Saturday at the Penn Elite, then blew that away with a lifetime-best 7.77 in the final. He won by 7-100ths of a seond over teammate Easton Tan, who ran a PR 7.84.

Foster is now tied for 2nd in Princeton history, behind only Christian Brown of Delray Beach, Fla., who ran 7.76 at the 2022 Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher at the Armory in 2022. Canadian Joey Daniels also ran 7.77 when he won 2020 Heps at Ithaca, his last race before transferring to Nebraska.

Foster is No. 2 in Division 1 in the long jump with his school-record 26-5 ¾ last weekend at Penn. He’s now No. 20 in the 60-meter hurdles. He did not long jump this weekend.
