Atlantic County Tech junior Brianna Growalt ran the 11th-fastest 100-meter hurdles time in South Jersey history Saturday at the Moorestown Invitational.
Growalt dipped under 14 seconds for the first time, winning the race in 13.99. Unfortunately, looks like there was no wind guage set up for the race so her performance will carry a wind-aided designation.
Growalt’s time is fastest by a South Jersey junior, breaking the mark of 14.04 set by Lenape’s Jasmine Staten at 2016 South Jersey Group 4 Sectionals at Egg Harbor Township. It’s fastest in New Jersey so far this year pending performances in other meets on Saturday.
Growalt’s previous outdoor hurdles PR was a wind-legal 14.22 at last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. She placed 2nd behind only Jackson’s 7.63 at the indoor Meet of Champions in 7.83, with both running below the old South Jersey record.
Growalt came back to win the 200 in 24.74. She ran 24.56 indoors when she placed 3rd at the MoC.
