Junior Macy Huber anchored the 3rd-place sprint medley and 4th-place distance medley, and Paul VI placed 5th in the Parochial A division of the state relays at the Bubble Wednesday.

Senior Devin Phillips, freshman McKayla Hutchinson and freshman Jules Jackson joined Huber on the sprint med and freshman Peyton Blake, senior Madison Eli and sophomore Grace Gutowski on the DMR.

Bubble results do not show splits, unfortunately. They have the platform to do it, they just choose not to. Stupid Bubble.

Anyway, Paul VI’s 12:30.53 is fastest by a South Jersey school this winter and 5th-fastest in the state so far. It looks like PVI broke the school record of 12:31.11 set last year at Ocean Breeze by Claire Magee, Giovanna Mantuano, Huber and Shaelan McNally. The sprint medley ran 4:26.01 

Magee, Eli, junior Daniela Vogel and Phillips placed 4th in the 1,600-meter relay in 4:12.72, and freshman McKayla McHutchinson, Vogel, Jackson and Eli ran 1:54.05 for 6th in the 800-meter relay.

Paul VI took 2nd in the vole vault relay, with junior Gianna Cianfrani clearing 9-6 and senior  Claudia Crabtree 8-0.

Glassboro High’s Dallas Hohney blazed a huge PR in the 800 Saturday, PR’ing by a staggering 5 1/2 seconds and recording the 3rd-fastest time in Rider history.

Would you believe 1:50.71?

Unreal performance! Nobody PR’s by 5 1/2 seconds in the 800!

Hohney placed 2nd at the Penn Select at the Ott Center in West Philly, finishing behind only Princeton graduate and two-time Ivy League champion Russell Dinkins, a 1:48.10 half-miler who raced at the U.S. Championships last spring.

Hohney is an incredible story. 

He never ran an 800 in high school, competed briefly for Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C., then resurfaced at Rider this time last year. He ran 1:57.46 in March in what looks like his first 800 ever and also ran 48.35 indoors. 

In the spring, he lowered his 400 time to 48.15 in a home meeet and his 800 to 1:56.20 at a meet at Franklin Field.

On Saturday, he raced for the first time since IC4As in May in Fairfax and ran a mind-boggling race in his 4th lifetime 800 and – get this – his first indoor 800 ever.

On Saturday, Hohney was out in 26.0 and came through the 400 in 53.15 and the 600 in 1:21.84 before closing in 28.88. DInkins won the race in 1:50.38.

Hohney’s time trails only Tamrat Snyder of Gaithersburg, Md., and Jonathan Jackson of Roselle on the all-time Rider list. Snyder ran 1:49.32 in a meet in Nashviulle in 2023 and Jackson ran 1:50.53 in 2015 at the Armory.

Snyder holds the Rider outdoor record at 1:47.70, but only five other Rider half-milers have gone faster outdoors.

Hohney’s time is 9th-fastest in NCAA Division 1 and No. 1 – by almost eight seconds – in the Metro Atlantic Conference. 

Rancocas Valley’s Ian Moore was 3rd in the race in 1:51.11, which moved him up to 7th on the all-time Monmouth performance list.

Other South Jersey runners in the 800 field were St. Joe grad student Jayden Green from Washington Township [5th in 1:52.78], St. Joe’s senior Josh Thaler from Timber Creeek [6th in 1:54.06], Monmouths senior Stone Caraccio from Kingsway [8th in 1:54.43], Rutgers freshman Robert Poplau from Cherokee [9th in 1:54.57], Monmouth sophomore Conor Jacob from Cherokee [14th in 1:56.23].

Eastern junior Natalie Dumas ran the 3rd-fastest 800 in South Jersey history Monday evening in a SJTCA meet at Ocean Breeze.

Dumas, the national 400-meter hurdles champ last spring, ran 2:11.42 unpressed, the fastest time by a South Jersey girl in 15 years, since Washington Township’s Megan Tiernan ran 2:09.56 at 2010 Armory Nationals. Tiernan never ran another race.

Dumas had a previous indoor PR of 2:16.80 at the state Group 4 indoor championships at the Bubble last February. She ran 2:14.30 last spring at Group 4 sectionals at Pennsauken. She also ran 53.16 for the flat 400 and 58.32 in the intermediates.

Her time is No. 20 on the all-time state list and fastest by a Camden County girl in 24 year, since Olympian Erin Donohue of Haddonfield ran a hand-timed 2:10.0 at the 2001 Varsity Classic at the Armory.

Cherry Hill East graduate Lexi Tepper, a sophomore at Maryland Baltimore County, broke 5 minutes in the mile for the first time Saturday and recorded the 6th-fastest time in school history.

Tepper ran 4:58.05 and won the mile at the VCU Rams Indoor Invitational at the Virginia Beach Sports Center.

She lowered her PR from 5:02.80 from last indoor season in a meet at the armory. It was also her first individual win on the track as a collegian.

Tepper was out in 75.1, then split 73.3, 76.0 and 73.8, taking the lead from George Mason’s Ella Semple on the final lap.

Sophia Cologer set the UMBC school record of 4:15.87 in the trials of the 2017 IC4A Championships in Boston. Tepper’s time is fastest by a UMBC miler since then.

Tepper’s time is fastest so far this year in the America East.

Glassboro senior Ty Blackman ran a big 3,200 PR and the fastest Group 1 time in New Jersey this year Saturday at the Armory.

Blackman ran 9:27.06 on the way to a 9:30.14 full two-mile at the Refuel with Chocolate Milk Officials Hall of Fame Invitational.

His previous indoor PR for 3,200 was a 9:54.19 at the Bubble last January. His overall best was a 9:42.32 when he placed 2nd to Peyton Shute of Woodbury at the South Jersey Group 1 sectionals at Pennsauken this past June.

Blackman’s time is 5th-fastest on the all-time South Jerey Group 1 indoor list and No. 11 all-time on the Gloucester County list, just a second out of the top 10.

His time is also No. 2 in New Jersey this year, behind Montville senior Alex Pelov, who ran 9:25.22 in a meet last month at Drew University in Madison.

Blackman also PRd with a 4:29.65 for the full mile in a meet at the Ott Center.

Northern Burlington senior Liliah Gordon placed 2nd Saturday in the USATF Under-20 Cross Country Championships in Lubbock, Texas.

On a windy afternoon at Lubbock Christian University, Gordon ran 21:57 over 6,000 meters and placed 2nd to Zarriel Macchia, a senior at William Floyd High School in Mastic, N.Y.

Macchia and Gordon placed 2nd and 7th at Foot Locker Northeast Regionals in November in Boston and were teammates on the Northeast team at Foot Locker Nationals in San Diego. Macchia ran 21:46.

Gordon is a four-time state Group 3 champion, three times in cross country and once in track. She was an All-America at 5,000 meters last indoor season with her 17:02.44, 6th-fastest in New Jersey history.

Lumberton’s Greg Foster, a Princeton senior, returned to competition Saturday morning after an 11-month layoff and popped the best long jump in NCAA Division 1 this year.

After fouling on his first two attempts at a Navy-Princeton dual meet at the Wesley A. Brown Field House in Annapolis, Md., Foster hit exactly 25 feet on his third attempt and after two more fouls he soared 25-8 1/4 on his final attempt.

That’s just 2 1/2 inches off his indoor PR and less than 6 1/2 inches shy of the school record of 26-3 set 35 years ago by Al Dyer at the 1990 Manhattan Invitational.

It was Foster’s first track meet since February of 2024, when he won the long jump at 25-2, took 2nd in the triple jump at 50-2 and placed 6th in the 60-meter hurdles in 8.22 at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Harvard’s Gordon Track and Tennis Center in Cambridge, Mass.

Foster, a Lawrenceville Prep graduate, has long jump PRs of 26-1 3/4 outdoors – a school record – and 25-10 3/4 indoors. He’s hurdled 7.89 indoors and 14.23 outdoors and tripled 50-7 1/2 outdoors and 50-7 1/2  indoors.

He didn’t triple jump or hurdle Saturday, although he did jump in the 200 and placed 3rd in 21.84 in his first collegiate 200. He ran 22.25 in high school.

According to the TFRRS NCAA Division 1 long jump performance list, Foster’s jump bumped John Baker of Texas A&M [25-5 1/2] for the top spot so far this season.

It was his best jump since he hit that 26-1 3/4 at 2023 outdoor Heps at Franklin Field and the 4th-best of his life.

Here’s a look at Foster’s best jumps [does not include secondary marks within a meet]:

26-1 3/4 … Philadelphia [o], 2023
25-10 3/4 … Annapolis, Md. [i], 2023

Seneca graduate Julia Greeley, a senior at Lafayette in Easton, won the pole vault Friday at the St. Thomas Aquinas Spartan Invite at Ocean Breeze.

Greeley won the event with an 11-5 3/4 clearance and then cleared 11-11 3/4 on her first attempt.

Greeley has an indoor PR of 12-5 1/2 from a meet at Moravian in Bethlehem last January. Her outdoor PR is 12-2 from a Lehigh dual meet this past April in Easton.

She’s No. 2 in Lafayette history indoors behind only Elise Buffinton, who cleared 12-11 1/2 in 2014. She’s also second outdoors behind Buffinton, who cleared 12-5 1/2 in both 2013 and 2014.

Greeley ranks 4th in the Patriot League so far this year with a 12-0 3/4 last month in a meet at the Armory.

Lindenwold junior Egypt Bolan moved into the top spot on the New Jersey high jump performance list with a lifetime-best 5-6 clearance Wednesday at the Bubble.

Bolan had a previous PR of 5-5 from last spring at the Don Danser Relays at Rancocas Valley. This is her first indoor season so her previous indoor PR was a 4-10 from a meet at the Ott Center last month.

Since this was a Bubble meet, no field series information is available. Thanks, Bubble. You’re the worst.

Bolan’s 5-6 equals the No. 12 mark on the all-time South Jersey indoor high jump list. According to the MileSplit national database, her mark equals No. 4 in the U.S. so far this indoor season. There are 15 girls who have cleared 5-6.

The Winslow Township girls ran the 2nd-fastest 1,600-meter relay in the U.S. this year Wednesday at the Millrose Games Trials at the Armory.

The Eagles qualified for the scholastic 1,600-meter relay championship at the 117th annual Millrose Gamees back at the Armory on Feb. 8 with a blazing time of 3:50.90.

Although the results list five names, presumably the lineup was freshman Jasmine Jackson, junior Olivia Okaro, sophomore Skyhe Seamon and sophomore Cinniya Robinson. Freshman Amariah Arango is also listed in the results. If she actually ran hopefully someone involved with the Winslow program can let us know.

If Jackson to Okaro to Seamon to Robinson is correct, Jackson led off in 58.22, Okaro split 57.76, Seamon ran 57.03 and Robinson anchored in 57.90.

Winslow’s time is 6th-fastest in South Jersey history and No. 17 on the all-time New Jersey indoor list.

The only faster time by a U.S. high school this year was recorded by an all-star program based in Potomac, Md.

Lawrenceville was 2nd with a 3:55.96 and Willingboro 3rd with a season-best 4:00.13.

It appears that Willingboro also qualified for Millrose. According to the results, “Winner of Each Division (East & West of Hudson & NJ) Qualify Next 3 Fastest Times Also Qualify.”

Guys, punctuation helps sometimes, but if the three-fastest non-winners from all the various girls 4-by-400s qualify, then Lawrenceville and Willingboro would both go as the 2nd- and 3rd-fastest non-winning teams.

The first four names listed for Willingboro are junior Kaila Speight, sophomore Jade Pinder, sophomore Maya Bolden and senior Nester Wea, with junior Aaliyah Robinson and sophomore Trinity Brapoh also listed.

If Speight to Pinder to Bolden to Wea is correct, Speight led off in 58.68, Pinder ran 61.83, Bolden split 61.25 and Wea anchored in 58.39.
