The Winslow girls ran the 12^th-fastest time shuttle hurdles time in state history Saturday at the Deptford Spartan Relays.

Sophomore Jasmine Jackson, senior Ma’Syiah Brawner, junior Cinniya Robinson and junior Justice Green ran 59.60, winning by nearly 10 seconds.

That’s No. 4 in South Jersey history, behind Edgewood’s 1999 then-state record, Willingboro’s 59.25 last year at West Philly Nationals and Eastern’s 59.52 at the 2019 Don Danser Relays.

Unless you consider Edgewood’s 59.00 at the 1999 East Coast Relays as the school record, Winslow broke the school record of 1:00.18 that they ran at the 2014 Willingboro Relays.

The Deptford boys sped to the 4^th-fastest 400-meter relay time in Glouceseter County history Saturday morning on their home track at the Spartan Relays.

Senior Damon Morton, senior Kareem Brown, junior Xavion Holmes and senior Johann Hernandez ran 41.93 and ran away from the field, finishing more than a second ahead of 2^nd-place Winslow, which ran 43.09.

The time is 24^th on the all-time South Jersey list. The only Gloucester County schools to run faster are Washington Township in 2024 and Deptford in 2017 and 2018.

Ocean City’s Elaina Styer, national runner-up in the pentathlon at indoor NCAA Division 3 Championships, smashed the Stockton school record in the 100-meter hurdles Saturday at the Osprey Invite in Galloway Township.

Styer, a Stockton sophomore, won the hurdles in 14.50, breaking the record of 14.54 set by Jassina Surles of Williamstown in the trials of the 2016 ECAC Division 3 Championships in Westfield, Mass.

Styer’s time is No. 6 in NCAA Division 3 so far this year. The race was run into a 0.8 meters-per-second headwind.

Styer’s previous PR was 15.41 at a meet last April at Widener in Chester, Pa. Her best time in high school was 16.25 as part of the pentathlon at 2023 West Philly Nationals.

Styer also won the long jump with a PR 18-5 3/4 on her only legal jump. Her previous PR was 18-0 1/2 indoors at Ocean Breeze this past December.  That’s No. 6 in NCAA Division 3 so far this year.

The Williamstown girls ran a DMR school record and the 6^th-fastest time in Gloucester County history Saturday at the Deptford Spartan Relays.

Junior Julia Burgio, junior Chanelle Briscoe, junior Tristan Hughes and senior Sophia Aldridge ran 12:37.62, breaking the school record of 12:53.14 from the 2012 Woodbury Relays.

Williamstown’s time is fastest by any Gloucester County school in nine years, since Kingsway ran 12:32.84 at the 2017 Woodbury Relays.

The splits that are listed don’t make sense, so if anybody has correct splits please shoot them over and I’ll add them.

Approximate splits, thanks to Sophia Aldridge: 3:57-ish for Burgio on the 1,200, 59-point for Briscoe, 2:28 for Hughes and 5:12 anchor for Aldridge.

The Burlington County boys ran what looks like a school record in the 800-meter relay Saturday morning at the Don Danser Invitational at Rancocas Valley.

Although names aren’t listed – thanks, “EliteFeats Timing” – the Falcons won the 4-by-2 in 1:29.72. The fastest previous time I could find for Burlington Township is 1:30.00 at East Brunswick in 2024.

Names listed in the entries are Jaylen Porter, Jaydin Macklin, Robert Proctor, Solomon Wesley, David Raiford Jr., Gerald Sackie, Adam Amah and Gabe Thomas. So four of those eight were on this 4-by-2 team.

Natalie Dumas dipped under a minute in her first 400-meter hurdles race of the year.

Racing at the Deptford Spartan Relays, the six-time national champion from Eastern won the race in 59.96, the 4^th-fastest time in the country in the early goings this outdoor season.

Dumas ran 55.11 at West Philly Nationals this past June, 6^th-fastest in U.S. history. This was her first intermediate hurdles race since that race.

This was a fast race all around, with Atlantic County Tech junior Brianna Growalt placing 2^nd in 1:01.83 and Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson 3^rd in 1:02.37.

In her 1^st lifetime 400-meter hurdles race, Growalt ran the 8^th-fastest time in Atlantic County history. Growalt was state Group 4 champion in the 100-meter hurdles and long jump last spring and in the 55-meter hurdles indoors this past winter.

Also running fast early times were Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson [1:02.37], Winslow junior Cinniya Robinson [1:03.90] and Kingsway junior Norah Brown [three-second PR 1:04.53].

Timber Creek’s Darien Cade, a junior at Fairleigh Dickinson, PR’d in the discus Friday with the No. 4 throw this year in the Northeast Conference.

Cade threw 156-3 on his 5^th throw at the Mets Championships at Icahn Stadium in New York. He won by 12 feet over teammate Everton Bills from Teaneck (hey, I went to Teaneck!).

Cade’s previous PR was a 142-6 at a meet in Richmond in March of last year. So this was a nearly 14-foot PR.

Teammate Jayson Ross, also from Timber Creek, threw a PR 132-10 for 5^th. His previous PR was 123-10 last week at Rider.

Rowan junior Damitrius Hester bombed the 4^th-best javelin throw in NCAA Division 3 history Friday in Daytona Beach.

Hester, who was 7^th all-time with his 236-4 two weeks ago in Galloway Township, won the javelin at the Embry Riddle Classic with a monster throw of 240-5.

Hester had a monster series, with three throws of 236 or better. After opening up modestly with 222-2, 219-7 and 225-6, he threw 240-5, 236-1 and 238-8 in the finals. His six throws averaged 230-5.

Hester’s 240-5 is the best throw by a D-3 thrower in eight years, since Seth Nonnenmacher of George Fox University of Newberg, Ore., threw 241-11 to win 2018 NCAA Division 3 Nationals in LaCrosse, Wisc.

Deptford’s Tim VanLiew set the D-3 record of 247-10 competing for Rutgers-Camden when he won 2013 D-3 Nationals, also in LaCrosse.

No. 2 all-time is Kris Theriault of Fitchburg [Mass.] State, who threw 242-5 at the 1995 D-3 Nationals in Northfield, Minn.

Hester’s throw makes him No. 9 American this year and No. 69 in the world. He’s No. 8 among all college throwers this year from all divisions.

He’s also now No. 11 on the all-time New Jersey alumni list:

Hester placed 2^nd at NCAA Division 3 Championships last spring in Geneva, Ohio, at 218-4. Hester is a graduate of Mahwah High, located about a mile and a half from Ramapo College, which will host the NJAC Outdoor Championships next month.

Hot intermediate hurdles race Friday for Clayton’s Alexander Osayemi, a freshman at Alabama.

Osayemi ran 51.09 at the Battle on the Boyou in Baton Rouge, dropping his PR more than 1 ½ seconds from a 52.63 last weekend in Starkville, Miss. Before that his PR was 52.70 from last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. So he’s dropped his PR 1.61 seconds in nine days.

Osayemi’s time is No. 23 in NCAA Division 1 this year and fastest by an Alabama freshman since at least 2010, which is as far back as the TFRRS database goes.

It’s also 11^th on the all-time South Jersey alumni list.

Osayemi’s time is 5^th-fastest so far this year in the SEC and 3^rd-fastest in Division 1 among freshmen, behind two other SEC intermediate hurdlers – Dannell Wright of Florida [50.76] and Njabulo Mbatha of Auburn [50.76].

Osayemi’s birthday is not on record with World Athletics, so his eligibility for World Juniors is unknown. If he turns 20 after New Year’s, he’ll be eligible for the U.S. Under-20 Championships, a qualifier for World Under 20 Championships in Eugene in August. If he is eligible, his 51.09 is currently fastest among U.S. intermediate hurdlers in the 20-and-under age group and 9^th in the world.
