Washington Township’s Dylan Giloley smashes another Rider school record!!!!!!!!

Washington Township’s Dylan Giloley, who blasted the Rider 60-meter dash record earlier this month, took down the 200-meter dash record Saturday at the Armory. It’s her 3rd individual school record in addition to three relay records she’s a part of.

Giloley, who set a school record of 7.55 for 60 meters at the Ott Center, ran 24.58 at the Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher Saturday. That smashed the 12-year-old school record of 24.60 set by La’Tazah Coleman from Appoquinimink High in Middletown, Del., at the 2014 ECAC Championships at Boston University.

Giloley’s previous indoor 200 PR was a 24.89 from ECACs in March again at Boston University. She ran a wind-aided 24.07 outdoors last spring in Lawrenceville, but her wind-legal outdoor PR of 24.77 is 5th-fastest in Rider history. She also holds the school record in the 100 with a 11.73 from Lawrenceville this past May.

One Rowan high jumper bumps another out of the top spot in NCAA Division 3 with #3 jump in school history!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rowan freshman David Brown bumped teammate Jamile Gantt out of the top spot on the NCAA Division 3 high jump list Saturday when he cleared 6-11 at the Armory.

Brown cleared 6-5, 6-7 and 6-9 on his 1st attempts before getting over the bar at 6-11 on his 3rd attempt. He took three jumps at 7-1 as well.

Gantt, a Paulsboro graduate, had been Division 3 No. 1 with his 6-10 ¾ at Ocean Breeze last month.

Rowan now goes 1-2-T5-7 in D-3 with Brown, Gantt, Arrington Rhym from Hamilton West at 6-8 ¾ and Noah Wampole from Radnor at 6-8 ¼. Highland graduate Jayden Deleon, a Rutgers-Camden freshman, is tied with Rhym at No. 5 with a 6-8 ¾ of his own.

Scoring at nationals goes 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1, so if Rowan finished with their current places in the national rankings, they would scored 23 ½ points in the high jump.

Pleasantville’s Isaiah Davenpoert, a Rowan junior, cleared 6-7 Saturday and is No. 14 in D-3. Another Rowan jumper, Damarion Potts from South Brunswick, cleared 6-8 ¼ last year. He cleared 6-5 on Saturday at the Armory. So six current Rowan jumpers have cleared at least 6-7.

Brown, from Edison High, had a high school PR of 6-10 from last year’s indoor state Group 4 meet at the Bubble.

He’s now 3rd on the all-time Rowan indoor list, behind only Jeffrey Jon Tucker of Eastern [7-0 ½ in2015] and Harrison Escoffery from Ewing [7-0 ¼ in 2018]. Gantt is 4th on that list but cleared 6-11 outdoors when he placed 3rd last May at D-3 Nationals in Geneva, Ohio, his 2ndAll-America performance.

Also Monmouth junior David Godbolt from Rancocas Valley placed 4th with a lifetime-best 6-9 clearance.  That’s tied for 5th in Monmouth history with Keven Kevelier of  Collingswood.

Freshman Anthony Parker from Salem misses Rowan long jump record by one inch with 3rd-best jump in Division 3 this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freshman Anthony Parker from Salem came within one inch of the Rowan school record in the long jump Saturday at the Armory.

In his 3rd college meet, Parker won the long jump at the Dr. Sander Scorcher Columbia Challenge with a jump fo 24-1 ½ on his 2nd attempt.

That’s No. 3 in NCAA Division 3 this year and best by a freshman.

Parker’s previous collegiate best was 23-2 ¾ at Ocean Breeze last month in his 1st college meet. He had a high school indoor PR of 22-3 when he placed 4th in the Meet of Champions this past March at Ocean Breeze. His lifetime best before Saturday was 23-9 in a meet at Delsea this past May with no wind gauge at the long jump. His outdoor wind-legal best was 21-7 ¾ at West Philly Nationals, one of the few outdoor meets that has a wind guage at the horizontal jumps.

Parker fell an inch shy of the Rowan record of 24-2 ½ set at this meet two years ago by Ahmir Johnson, a graduate of Wissahickon High in Ambler and a transfer from Gwynedd-Mercy in Lower Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County.

Other than Parker and Johnson, Rowan’s other indoor 24-footer is Nana Agyemang of Parsippany High, who jumped 24-0 ¾ in Rochester in 2022.

Outdoors, Rowan has had four outdoor 24-footers: Johnson [24-9 ¾] ,Agyemang [24-9], Jeffrey Jon Tucker [24-5] and Kyle Hayes [24-0 ¾].

Parker opened with a 22-6 ¼ before the 24-1 ½ on his 2nd attempt. He jumped 22-9 on his final attempt of the trials and then 21-8 ¼, 23-0 ¾, and 23-3 ½ in the finals. He won by half an inch over Carlos Posey of Army West Point, who jumped 24-1.

Parker moves into the No. 3 spot on the NCAA Division 3 performance list, just ahead of Egg Harbor Township’s Ahmad Fogg of Stockton, who jumped 24-0 ¾ at Ocean Breeze last weekend.

Parker is now the No. 2 Salem County alum behind Pennsville’s Manorowitz, who jumped 25-0 ¾ outdoors in Lawrenceville in May 2022. Manorowitz’s indoor best was 24-5 ¾ at the Armory in February 2022.

Parker also ran 14.32 and 56.35 in the hurdles at Salem last year but hasn’t hurdled yet at Rowan.

Monmouth senior Aaron Brooks from Eastern placed 4th with a 23-8 jump., an indoor PR and No. 9 in Monmouth history. Brooks is also No. 4 in school history in the hurdles at 8.12. His previous indoor PR was a 23-3 ½ in Virginia Beach this past February. Brooks has jumped 24-1 ¾ outdoors  and triple jumped 47-0 ¾. Oudoors, he’s 4th in school history in the 110 highs and No. 7 in the long jump. Brooks 23-8 is No. 2 in the Coastal Athletic Conference this year, behind only Marquis White of Hampton, who jumped 23-11 ½ Friday in Lynchburg, Va.

Also Rowan freshman Bright John from Sterling jumped 22-7 ¼. He jumped an. Indoor PR 22-10 last weekend. John jumped a wind-legal PR 23-2 last May at the state Group 2 meet at South Plainfield.

Lumberton’s Greg Foster runs huge hurdles PR, now within 1-100th of a second of Princeton school record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Junior Greg Foster  from Lumberton ran within 1-100th of a second of Princeton’s indoor hurdles record with a PR race Satuday at the Ott Centre.

Foster, who ran a PR 7.83 at Penn last weekend, matched that in the trials Saturday at the Penn Elite, then blew that away with a lifetime-best 7.77 in the final. He won by 7-100ths of a seond over teammate Easton Tan, who ran a PR 7.84.

Foster is now tied for 2nd in Princeton history, behind only Christian Brown of Delray Beach, Fla., who ran 7.76 at the 2022 Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher at the Armory in 2022. Canadian Joey Daniels also ran 7.77 when he won 2020 Heps at Ithaca, his last race before transferring to Nebraska.

Foster is No. 2 in Division 1 in the long jump with his school-record 26-5 ¾ last weekend at Penn. He’s now No. 20 in the 60-meter hurdles. He did not long jump this weekend.

MORE FIREWORKS FROM SETH CLEVENGER: A DAY AFTER 3RD-FASTEST 3,000 in D-3 HISTORY, HE RUNS 15TH-FASTEST MILE EVER BY A D-3 RUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day after he ran the 3rd-fastest 3,000 in NCAA Division 3 history, Haddonfield’s Seth Clevenger capped one of the greatest weekends any D-3 distance runner has ever had by recording the 15th-fastets mile in D-3 history.

On day two of his first meet competing for Rowan, Clevenger placed 5th in the mile at the Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher at the Armory in 4:02.76. He won the 3,000 in 7:54.87 on Friday.

After smashing the school record in the 3,000 by more than 20 seconds, he broke the school record in the mile by more than eight seconds. The previous mark was 4:11.05 set by Scott Hubbard of Cumberland Regional at Ocean Breeze in February 2024.

Clevenger, a transfer from Iowa State, becomes the 9th-fastest miler South Jersey has produced and the fastest since Kingsway’s Tom Cooke ran 4:01.08 in West Chester in 2021. He’s the fastest collegiate miler from South Jersey since Abgsegami’s Ford Palmer, then a Monmouth senior, ran 4:00.46 at the Armory in February 2013.

Clevenger’s mile and 3,000 times are both fastest in Division 3 this year and are helping Rowan become one of the favorites to win the NCAA Division 3 championship in Birmingham, Ala., in March.

Clevenger’s previous mile PR was 4:07.14 from a meet in Ames, Iowa, in January 2024.

Clevenger came through 400 in 60.98, 800 in 2:01.93 and 1,200 in 3:02.85 and closed in 59.92, with a 29.39 final lap.

Josh Crawford, Karson Chew race Woodstown into the record books with historic 800s at the Armory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woodstown seniors Josh Crawford and Karson Chew ran 800 PRs Friday at the Armory and Woodstown became the first Group 1 school with two sub-1:56 indoor half-milers in the same year.

Crawford won the 800 at the Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher in 1:54.94 and Chew ran a huge PR 1:55.85 for 2nd place. Crawford lowered his PR a few fractions from 1:54.98 but Chew’s previous best was a 1:58.34 and his indoor PR was 2:00.54 from last month at the Ott Center.

Those are the top two Group 1 times in the state this year and the two-fastest indoor Group 1 times ever by South Jersey half-milers. They’re also No. 1 and 2 on the all-time Salem County list. They’re No. 3 and 8 in New Jersey so far this year.

Crawford led the whole race, with Chew right behind him. Crawford was out in 27.46 and Chew in 27.51, and they hit 400 meters in 56.12 and 56.31 and came through 600 in 1:25.64 and 1:25.97. They both closed in sub-30, Crawford in 29.31 and Chew in 29.88.

Crawford and Chew along with senior Jacob Marino and junior David Farrell ran on Woodstown’s N.J. No. 1 and U.S. No. 8 8:00.24 4-by-8 at the Millrose Trials on the same track. Woodstown will race the 3,200-meter relay at the 118th annual Millrose Games on Feb. 1.

SETH CLEVENGER RUNS 3RD-FASTEST 3,000 IN NCAA DIVISION 3 HISTORY AND FASTEST EVER BY S.J. RUNNER IN FIRST RACE FOR ROWAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In his first race for Rowan, Haddonfield’s Seth Clevenger ran the 3rd-fastest 3,000 meters in NCAA Division 3 history Friday at the Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher at the Armory.

Running all his laps under 32 seconds, Clevenger won the race in 7:54.87, falling just 1 1/2 seconds shy of the NCAA Division 3 record. The only faster times recorded by Division 3 runners were a 7:53.24 recorded by John Carroll’s Alex Phillip in Boston in 2023 and a 7:54.48 by Aidan Ryan of Williams in 2022, also in Boston.

Clevenger, a transfer from Iowa State, had a 3,000 PR of 8:12.00 from a meet in February 2024 in Fayetteville, Ark.

He broke the Rowan school record of 8:15.29 set in 2018 by Brick Memorial’s Kevin Veltre in Boston.

Clevenger’s time is also fastest ever recorded by a South Jersey high school alum, breaking the mark of 7:57.65 set in 2017 by Absegami’s Ford Palmer. Cinnaminson’s Austin Gabay [7:58.94 in 2024] and Ocean City’s John Richardson [7:59.26 in 2008] also ran sub-8:00.

Woodbury’s Peyton Shute, a sophomore at Cornell, placed 4th in 8:06.37, which is No. 8 on the all-time South Jersey 3,000-meter list.

RIVERSIDE’S JAMIR BROWN RUNS 9TH-FASTEST HURDLES TIME IN THE WORLD THIS YEAR AT CLEMSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riverside’s Jamir Brown ran a hurdles PR 7.60 Friday afternoon in the semifinals of the Orange and Purple Invitational at Clemson. That’s 9th-fastest in the world, according to the World Athletics database.

His time is tied for 3rd-fastest in NCAA Division 1 and 2rd-fastest in Syracuse history, fastest in 14 years. It’s also 6th-fastest ever by a New Jersey high school alum and fastest by a South Jersey hurdler since Anwar Moore of Camden ran 7.50 in Boston in 2008. It’s also 4th-fastest this year by an American.

Brown, who set NCAA Division 3 records indoors and outdoros as a Rowan freshman last year, lowered his PR from 7.63, which he ran last weekend at Penn State.

Brown led all qualifiers in the semifinals after a 7.70 in the prelims. The final is coming up at 5:05 p.m.

Alabama’s Alexander Osayemi from Clayton, the Meet of Champions record holder, runs huge indoor PR in 1st collegiate 400!!!!!!!!

Alabama freshman Alexander Osayemi from Clayton ran an indoor PR Friday at the Orange and Purple Invitational at Clemson, clocking 47.20 and placing 9th overall in a loaded field.

That’s 3rd-fastest among all NCAA Division 1 freshmen.

Osayemi won the Meet of Champions with a 46.08 last spring, but his previous indoor PR was a 48.57 when he was 4th at the indoor Meet of Champions this past March at Ocean Breeze.

This was his first collegiate 400.

Osayemi’s time is 10th-fastest in the SEC this year but 2nd-fastest among freshmen, behind Georgia’s Jonathan Simms, who ran 44.62 last week at Clemson. That’s 4th-fastest ever indoors and an Under-20 world record.

Hddonfield’s Seth Clevenger set to make debut for Rowan over 3,000 meters at the Armory today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Former Haddonfield star Seth Clevenger, who began his college career at Iowa State, will make his debut for Rowan Friday afternoon at the Armory.

Clevenger is listed in the heat sheets as an entrant in the invitational 3,000-meter run at the Dr. Sander Columbia Scorcher, scheduled for 3:27 p.m. It will be his first race since a terrific 23:37 over 8,000 meters for Iowa State at the Nuttycombe Invitational on Oct. 17, in Madison, Wisc. He placed 19th in a loaded field of more than 200 runners.

Clevenger has a 3,000 PR of 8:12.00 from a meet in February of 2024 in Fayetteville, Ark. He’s listed in the entries as a junior at Rowan.

Rowan’s 3,000 school record is 8:15.29 by Kevin Veltre from Brick Memorial in a meet in Boston in February 2018.

Clevenger is also entered in the mile at 2:05 p.m. Saturday, although it’s hard to imagine he would double in his first meet sinvce October.

At Haddonfield, Clevenger was the Meet of Champions 3,200 champ and state Group 2 1,600 champ and ran 4:08.67 full mile as a senior. He placed 6th in July 2023 in the USATF Under-20 Championships in Eugene at 1,500 meters.

Also in the race is Cornell’s Peyton Shute from Woodbury. He hasn’t run a 3,000 in college but has PRs of 3:52.84 for 1,500 meters, 4:08.01 for the mile and 24:08.03 for a XC 8K in November 2024 at Princeton University’s Meadows course in West Windsor Township.
