Despite a DQ that cost them eight points after placing 2nd in the 3,200-meter relay, the Winslow girls set a record this weekend at Delsea for most points scored in any South Jersey sectional meet.
Winslow swept four events in the South Jersey Group 3 meet at Delsea and netted 193 points, breaking the record of 181 that they set last year.
Winslow’s 193 points come out to an average of 10.7 per event. So they averaged more than first place per event. Winslow scored in 15 of 18 events, everything other than the 3,200, discus and javelin. Without the 4-by-8 DQ, they would have been over 200 points.
This is Winslow’s 17th sectional title, 4th in a row and 12th the last 13 times the meet has been contested.
