Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson ran within 1-100th of a second of the South Jersey 55-meter hurdles record Saturday at the Armory.
Jackson ran 7.90 and finished 2nd at the Hispanic Games to Destiny Coleman of Woodlawn (Md.) High, who ran a U.S. No. 2 7.77.
Jackson, whose previous PR was 7.97 at last year’s Easterns on the same track, missed the South Jersey record of 7.89 set by Pleasantville’s Nia Ali at 2006 Easterns at the Armory and matched by Winslow’s Ste’yce McNeil at 2012 Easterns.
Her time is No. 8 in state history and No. 4 in the U.S. this year. It’s 3rd-fastest by a New Jersey sophomore, behind two runners from the Scotch Plains-based all-star program, including one Olympic gold medalist.
