Sophomore Amariah Arango, sophomore Jasmine Jackson, senior Olivia Okaro and junior Cinniya Robinson won the Invitational 1,600-Meter Relay Sunday at the 118^th Millrose Games Sunday at the Armory with the 7^th-fastest time in state history and 3^rd-fastest time in the U.S. this year.

Winslow ran 3:46.06 and won by 35 meters over 2^nd-place Oak Park (Mich.), which ran 3:51.03.

This is Winslow’s 4^th Millrose Games 4-by-4 championship, and their time is fastest ever run by a South Jersey school at Millrose.

Arango led off with a 55.92 split that gave Winslow a 25-meter lead at the first handoff, and Jackson split 57.99 to extend the lead to 30 meters. Okaro ran 56.60 to maintain the lead and Robinson brought Winslow home with a 56.69 anchor.

Their time is 3^rd-fastest in South Jersey history, behind only Winslow’s South Jersey-record 3:44.74 this past March at Boston Nationals and Willingboro’s 3:45.37 at 2003 Armory Nationals.

The time is also 3^rd-fastest in the U.S., according to the MileSplit national database, behind something called APXP Speed Development, which is apparently Atascotita High of Houston and ran 3:42.26 in College Station, Texas, earlier this month, and Monteverde (Fla.) Academy, which ran 3:44.14 in Virginia Beach earlier this month.

Winslow also won Millrose in 2017 in 3:52.17 in 2017 with Iyianna Williams, Flora Ahiarakwe, Janeya Hammond and Shakira Dancy, in 2018 with Nylah Perry, Dancy, Hammond and Ahiarakwe in 3:54.99 and in 2024 in 3:49.50 with Okaro and Robinson in the lineup along with Djassi Dean and Skyhe Seamon.

South Jersey schools have now won 13 Millrose Games girls suburban 1,600-meter relays, including six of the last nine.

In a separate race, Willingboro ran a season-best 3:58.49 with Aaliyah Robinson, Jade Pinder, Trinity Brapoh and Maya Bolden. That’s 2^nd-fastest in New Jersey this year, behind only Winslow.

The Woodstown boys ran the 13th-fastest 3,200-meter relay in South Jersey history Sunday at the 118th Millrose Games at the Armory.

Senior leadoff Karson Chew split 1:56.42 and senior anchor Josh Crawford 1:54.42 and Woodstown ran 7:55.62, becoming the 4th-fastest Group 1 school in state history.

That’s a Penn Relays qualifier, although Woodstown won’t be able to race at Franklin Field the last weekend of April.

Woodstown finished 7th overall and 2nd among New Jersey schools, behind Union Catholic’s state-record and meet-record 7:37.96.

After Chew’s leadoff, senior Jacob Marino split 2:01.39 and junior David Farrell 2:03.40 before Crawford’s anchor, 3rd-fastest anchor of 13 schools that qualified for the race.

The only faster New Jersey Group 1 schools are Pleasantville’s 7:45.55 when they won 2013 Easterns at the Armory and two Bernards performances from the 1980s converted from two-mile relays. Bernards ran a converted 7:54.18 in 1984 and 7:45.5 in 1983.

Woodstown also only lowered its own Salem County record from its 8:00.24 at Millrose Trials earlier this month it ran the fastest time by any South Jersey school indoors in six years, since Kingsway’s 7:47.50 when it won the 2020 Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

Florence’s Curtis Thompson earned his 5th straight No. 1 U.S. ranking in the javelin and became the first American ranked in the top 10 in 19 years in Track and Field News’ 2025 U.S. and world ranking issue.

This is Thompson’s 10th consecutive year in the U.S. top 10. He’s the first U.S. thrower to make the world top-10 since Breaux Greer was No. 3 in 2007.

Thompson in 2025 became only the 3rd American to medal in the javelin at the World Championships when he placed 3rd in Tokyo with a throw of 284-4. That was the 2nd-best throw ever by an American at Worlds. In 2001, Greer threw 285-5 when he placed 4th in Edmonton, Alberta.

Thompson, a 2014 Florence High School graduate, this past year also won his 5th U.S. title and threw a lifetime-best 287-11 in Austin, 3rd-best in U.S. history.

Thompson, 29, turns 30 later this week.
