The Burlington County boys ran what looks like a school record in the 800-meter relay Saturday morning at the Don Danser Invitational at Rancocas Valley.
Although names aren’t listed – thanks, “EliteFeats Timing” – the Falcons won the 4-by-2 in 1:29.72. The fastest previous time I could find for Burlington Township is 1:30.00 at East Brunswick in 2024.
Names listed in the entries are Jaylen Porter, Jaydin Macklin, Robert Proctor, Solomon Wesley, David Raiford Jr., Gerald Sackie, Adam Amah and Gabe Thomas. So four of those eight were on this 4-by-2 team.
