Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson topped a loaded field of some of the top hurdlers in the country Sunday at the Brooks P.R. Invitational in Renton, Wash., outside Seattle.
Jackson edged Nia Armstrong of Sickles High in Tampa by 1-100th of a second to win the 100-meter hurdles at the 15th annual Brooks P.R. at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Jackson ran 13.33 to Armstrong’s 13.34. No wind information listed at the moment. Nobody else in the field ran under 13.50.
Jackson set the South Jersey record and state sophomore record of 13.28 at the Meet of Champions Wednesday at Pennsauken. That’s No. 2 in state history.
Jackson has raced 12 times over the 100-meter hurdles this year and won every race. Her last loss came in the freshman race at West Philly Nationals, where Armstrong edged her, 13.53 to 13.73.
