Elexis Swen, who had a high school 400 PR of 61.77 at Highland, is now No. 1 on the JUCO Division 3 performance list.
Swen, a sophomore at Camden County College in Gloucester Township, ran a big PR 59.07 at the Osprey Invitational in Galloway Township Saturday. She placed 2nd overall but 1st among current college athletes. Former Temple runner Chidumga Nkulume from Union won the race in 58.61.
Swen’s previous PR was a 59.67 a week earlier at Widener and that was her first time under a minute. Her fastest time as a freshman was 1:00.67 in Newark, Del., last April. She went on to earn NJCAA All-America honors at the Division 3 Nationals in Utica, N.Y.
