Nannah Nuhfer, already the South Jersey discus and outdoor shot put record holder, smashed the South Jersey indoor shot put record Monday at Ocean Breeze.

Nuhfer threw 47-6 on her 6th and final throw at the SJTCA meet, breaking the South Jersey record of 47-5 ¾ set in 2018 by Schalick’s Zyra Thomas at Armory Nationals.

Her throw is No. 13 in state history. The only superior throw in New Jersey history is Nuhfer’s South Jersey outdoor record of 47-9 at South Jersey Group 3 Sectionals this past May at Delsea.

Nuhfer started out with throws of 41-7 ½ and 41-9 ½ before a 43-8 ¼ on her final throw of the trials. She went 43-2, 44-7 ½ and 47-6 in the finals.

Her throw is No. 5 in the U.S. this winter, according to the MileSplit national database. She took over the New Jersey lead from Nesta Oji of Livingston, who threw 47-3 ½ at the Armory last month.

Oji’s older sister Jesica is No. 2 in state history with her 57-4 ½ last February at Ocean Breeze. She’s currently a Penn freshman and No. 2 in the NCAA and No. 2 American with a 60-6 ½ at the Ott Center. She’s also No. 1 world junior.

UConn freshman Jaidah Garrett from Absegami is the top freshman long jumper in the big East after an indoor PR 19-5 ½ in a meet at Harvard’s Gordon Track and Tennis Center in Cambridge, Mass.

Garrett, from Galloway Township, had an indoor PR of 18-10 ½ in high school from her win at the state Group 3 meet at the Bubble this past May. Her lifetime best is 19-7 ¾ with legal wind when she placed 6th at West Philly Nationals in June.

Garrett is 5th overall in the Big East. UConn has six of the top 10 jumpers in the conference, including four freshmen. She’s also 8th overall in the NCAA Division 1 Northeast Regional and No. 1 freshman also in the region.

Only 10 South Jersey women have reached 20 feet in the long jump, so Garrett is 4 ¼ inches from that plateau. Of that group, two are from Atlantic County. Shameka Marshall from Hamilton Township and Oakcrest jumped 22-1 in Des Moines, Iowa, in 2010 and Asia Young from Pleasantville Holy Spirit went 20-6 in Tucson in 2019.

Rider junior Maddie Dischert from Atlantic City is on quite a roll, with PRs in the mile, 3,000 and 5,000 in the last couple weeks and all-time top-10 Rider performances in all three events.

After running 9:53.38 for 3,000 at the Ott Center two weeks ago and 16:59.86 for 5,000 meters in Boston last week, Dischert ran a 4:58.17 mile this weekend at the Armory.

Her PRs before those three races were 10:13.21 at Ocean Breeze in January 2024, 17:45.09 in Boston also in January 2024 and 4:59.54 last month at the Armory.

With her three new PRs, Dischert is now No. 5 in Rider history in the 3,000, No. 3 in the 5,000 and No. 8 in the mile.

She’s now No. 6 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in the mile, No. 4 in the 3,000 and No. 4 in the 5,000.

The Rider women shoot for their 4th straight team title at the MAAC Championships at the Armory Feb. 21-22.

Big meet Friday for Rowan’s Denirah Jones from Woodbury at the Scarlet Knight Open.

Jones ran a 60 PR of 7.80, 3rd-fastest among NCAA Division 3 freshman and 4th-fastest in Rowan history. She also long jumped 17-11, 9th-best among Division 3 freshmen and one inch off her PR.

She now ranks 2nd in the NJAC in both the 60 and long jump. TCNJ senior Lucia Garcia-Beltran of Hopewell Valley, a Rutgers transfer, ran 7.63 at the Armory earlier this month. Stockton’s Elaina Styer from Ocean City is No. 1 in the long jump with he 18-0 ½ at Ocean Breeze in December.

Jones ran 7.80 in the prelims, lowering her PR from 7.81 from two weeks ago in Lewisburg, Pa. That 7.80 is fastest by a Rowan woman since Aaniyah Robinson from Passaic Tech ran 7.77 when she won the 2018 NJAC Championships at Ocean Breeze.

That 60 was won by Rutgers sophomore Naylah Jones of Timber Creek, who ran 7.56. She’s gone 7.51 this year and has a lifetime best of 7.47 from senior year of high school at 2024 Boston Nationals.

In the long jump, Jones had four jumps over 17 feet, including a 17-8 ¼ and 17-6 ¾ in addition to her indoor PR 17-11.

Jones’ previous college PR was a 16-10 ¾ from Ocean Breeze in December. She had a wind-legal 18-0 at Woodbury at the 2025 Meet of Champions at Pennsauken.

Alabama freshman Alexander Osayemi from Clayton raced to an indoor PR Saturday in Albuquerque, covering 400 meters in 46.80 at the New Mexico Collegiate Classic.

Osayemi’s previous indoor PR was a 47.20 at Clemson two weeks earlier. His high school indoor PR was 48.57 in March at the Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

He went on to run 46.08 outdoors and set a Meet of Champions record at Pennsauken. That remains his overall PR.

His time is 10th-fastest in NCAA Division 1 by a freshman and 5th-fastest among SEC freshmen.

Osayemi’s time is well below the B standard of 47.50 for the U.S. Championships at Ocean Breeze Feb. 28-March 1. The A standard is 46.00.

Osayemi’s 46.08 makes him the 8th-fastest 400 runner ever from South Jersey and 2nd-fastest from Gloucester County, behind Woodbury’s Darrell Bush, who ran 45.49 in Tucson in 2015.

Stockton junior Elaina Styer from Ocean City matched the top pentathlon score this year in NCAA Division 3 Saturday and Sunday in Utica, N.Y.

Styer won the pentathlon at the Blue & Orange Invite and Multi at the Utica-Hutton Sports and Rec Dome this weekend with a score of 3,570 points.

She’s now tied for the top score in D-3 with senior Olivia Bohlen of Central College of Pella, Iowa. Bohlen scored 3,570 at a meet in Lincoln, Neb.

Styer set three PRs and broke one school record in the five-event challenge. She had the best mark in the competition in four of the five events.

Incredibly, the meet results do not have complete pentathlon results, which is outrageous and ridiculous. So I used the USATF multi scoring calculator to determine her points in each event.

Her best event was the 60-meter hurdles, where she ran 8.87 and broke her own school record of 8.89 that she set at the Ott Center last weekend. That 8.87 is No. 15 in NCAA Division 3.

She also PR’d in the 800 and shot put. Her 2:22.78 was worth 786 points and broke her PR of 2:24.18 from the NJAC Championships pentathlon at the Ott Center this past February. In the shot, she threw 34-9 for 568 points, topping her PR of 33-8, also from the NJAC meet.

Styer also long jumped 17-9 ¾ for 671 points, only 2 ¾ inches off her PR 18-0 ½ from Ocean Breeze last month. The only event she was off form was the high jump, where she cleared 4-10 ¼ for 599 points but well off her PR 5-5 ¼, also from NJACs last winter.

Her overall score was 58 points below her winning NJAC score and school record of 3,628, mainly because of the high jump. She scored 806 points for her 5-5 ¼ a year ago.

In addition to the pentathlon and hurdles, Styer is only 3 ¾ inches off the long jump record and half an inch off the high jump record.

She’s currently No. 1 in the NJAC in the hurdles, pentathlon, long jump, 2nd in the high jump, 7th in the 800 and 14th in the shot put.

The all-time NCAA Division 3 list goes 45 deep down to 3,645 points, so Styer is right on the brink of breaking into the all-time D-3 list.

Rutgers freshman Shawn Brady from Bishop Eustace popped a nearly two-foot shot put PR Friday and moved into the all-time Rutgers top-10 in just his 4th collegiate meet.

Brady placed 3rd at the Scarlet Knight Open at the Armory with a throw of 51-11 ¾, surpassing his week-old PR by 22 inches.

Brady moved into the No. 10 spot on the all-time Rutgers indoor performance list, joining Cinnaminson’s Kamron Kobolak [56-5 ¼ in New York in 2022 in 4th] and Edgewood’s Art Dreher [56-3 in Boston in 1999 in 5th] as the second South Jersey thrower in Rutgers’ top-10.

Brady, from Mullica Hill, actually PR’d twice and finished with the three-best throws of his life with the 16-pound ball.

He opened with a 48-9 ½ before back-to-back PRs of 51-11 ¼ and 51-11 ¾. After a couple fouls he closed with another 51-footer at 51-7 ¾.

That 51-11 ¾ is the best throw by a Rutgers freshman in six years, since Kyle Lipscomb from Linden threw 52-11 in South Bend, Ind., in February 2020.

Brady’s 51-11 ¾ ranks 8th among Big Ten Conference freshmen.

Brady threw 59-10 ¾ at Eustace in the shot and 181-10 in the discus.

Rider freshman Damere Lassiter from Glassboro placed 4th with a 51-5 ¾ on his 3rd throw of the competition. Lassiter hit his PR 52-10 at last year’s Penn Relays. His indoor PR is 52-6 from the Ott Center last month.

Huge mile PR Saturday for Paul VI’s Shaelan McNally, a sophomore at Bucknell.

McNally, who is from Haddon Heights, lowered her indoor PR from 4:52.90 for 1,600 meters at the 2024 Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze – which equals 4:54.6 for a full mile, although you can’t convert up – to 4:49.32 at the Ott Center.

That’s 2nd-fastest in Bucknell history, behind only a 4:43.12 by Christine Bendzinski of Rham High School in Hebron, Conn., at Boston University in 2018.

McNally’s lifetime best is a 4:45.91 in a mixed race at Holmdel outdoors in May 2024.

McNally’s previous collegiate best was a 4:55.66 at Penn State last month. Her 4:49.32 is 6th-fastest in the Patriot Conference this year.

McNally split 72.04, 73.02, 73.44 and 70.83, negtive splitting 2:25.06 and 2:24.26. She moved up four spot over the final 800 and two over the final 200 to finish 7th in a very fast field.

Huge 200 race Saturday for Hampton freshman Jayen Poteat from Winslow Township, who finished 1^st of 40 runners at the Penn Classic at the Ott Center.

In just his 2^nd college 200, Poteat PR’d with a 21.25, dropping his PR from 21.52 from a meet two weeks ago in Lynchburg, Va.

Poteat’s time is fastest by a Hampton sprinter in 10 years, since Jasper Savoy ran 21.20 in a meet at Boston University in January 2016. And it’s the fastest by a Hampton freshman in at least 17 years, as far back as TFRRS goes.

At Winslow, Poteat ran 21.48 in June 2024 at the state Group 3 meet at Delsea, but that was win-aided at 2.6 meters per second. His wind-legal high school PR was a 21.67 at 2024 Group 3 sectionals, also at Delsea. His indoor PR was 21.72 in December 2024, also at the Ott Center.

Poteat’s time is No. 3 in the Coastal Athletic Association this year and fastest by a freshman. It’s 8^th-fastest in NCAA Division 1 by a freshman.

Poteat is already No. 1 among CAA freshman with his PR 47.88 last month in Louisville.

Penn State freshman Ajani Dwyer from Washington Township became the fastest indoor sprinter in New Jersey history with a blazing 6.52 for 60 meters on his home track.

Dwyer broke the Penn State school record of 6.54 set by Olympian Cheickna Traore in 2024 Saturday in the prelims of Penn State’s Sykes & Sabock Invitational in State College.

His previous PR was 6.54 in the prelims of the USATF Championships a year ago at Ocean Breeze.

Dwyer’s time is tied for No. 4 in the world this year, according to the World Athletics database and it’s No. 2 among Americans, behind junior Traunard Folson of Tennessee, who ran 6.49 last month at Clemson.

It’s No. 3 in college track behind Folson and his teammate Davonte Howell of the Cayman Islands, who also ran 6.49 at Clemson.

Dwyer’s time is also No. 45 in U.S. history and fastest ever by a New Jersey sprinter, 1-100^thof a second faster than Olympic gold medalist Dennis Mitchell of Edgewood ran in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1994.

Brown did not run in the final.

Also, Egg Harbor and Monmouth graduate Ahmad Brock, competing for Garden State Track Club, ran 6.80 and also reached the final.
