Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson ran within 1-100^th of a second of the South Jersey 55-meter hurdles record Saturday at the Armory.

Jackson ran 7.90 and finished 2^nd at the Hispanic Games to Destiny Coleman of Woodlawn (Md.) High, who ran a U.S. No. 2 7.77.

Jackson, whose previous PR was 7.97 at last year’s Easterns on the same track, missed the South Jersey record of 7.89 set by Pleasantville’s Nia Ali at 2006 Easterns at the Armory and matched by Winslow’s Ste’yce McNeil at 2012 Easterns.

Her time is No. 8 in state history and No. 4 in the U.S. this year. It’s 3^rd-fastest by a New Jersey sophomore, behind two runners from the Scotch Plains-based all-star program, including one Olympic gold medalist.

Williamstown junior Timia Waters smashed the Gloucester County indoor triple jump record Saturday at the Armory.

Waters jumped 38-8 ¾ on her 6^th and final attempt at the Hispanic Games, breaking her own county indoor record of 37-6 3/4, which she set last month at the Ott Center.

Waters’ jump is No. 4 in South Jersey history. She placed 2^nd to Randolph senior Seannah Parsons, who jumped 39-4. They are No. 2 and 3 in New Jerey this year behind an athlete from a Scotch Plains all-star team, who jumped 39-6 ½ last month at the Armory.

Waters’ jump is best by a Gloucester County girl indoors or out in 14 years, since Glassboro’s Zenee Gadson won the 2012 state Group 1 title at Old Bridge with a 39-7 ½. Her jump is best ever indoors or out by a Williamstown girl. Two girls jumped 38-0 ¼ outdoors – Caleah Allen at 2012 Group 4 states also at Old Bridge and Nalah Abul-Qasim at 2019 Group 4 states in Somerset.

Waters fouled on her first two attempts and needed to jump at least 36 feet on her third just to advance to the finals. She hit 37-4 to reach the finals, where she went 37-5 ¼ and 36-8 ½ before her first lifetime 38-footer.

Winslow senior Ma’syiah Brawner, who is 3^rd in South Jersey history indoors at 39-4, placed 5^thwith a 37-9 on her 1^st attempt. Brawner jumped a PR 40-6 ¼ at West Philly Nationals last spring and was the 2024 outdoor Meet of Champions winner.

Lindenwold senior Egypt Bolan tied the South Jersey indoor high jump record Saturday in Toms River.

Bolan, the U.S. outdoor champ last June, cleared 5-10 on her 2nd attempt at the SJTCA meet at the Bubble. Her previous indoor PR was 5-8 multiple times. She tied the South Jersey indoor record of 5-10 set by Timber Creek’s Tierra Hooker at the 2018 Ocean Breeze Invitational in Staten Island.

Bolan set her lifetime-best 5-10 ¾ when she won West Philly Nationals at Franklin. That’s the South Jersey outdoor record and No. 3 in state history.

Her 5-10 Saturday equals No. 5 in state history indoors and is the best jump sine Hooker cleare 5-10 eight years ago.

Bolan passed through 5-0 and then cleared 5-2, 5-4, 5-6 and 5-8 on her first attempts. She clinched the win when no other jumpers cleared 5-4.

She missed her first attempt at 5-10 before the historic clearance. She had the bar raised to a lifetime-best 5-11, where she missed three times.

Her 5-10 is tied for No. 1 in the U.S., according to the MileSplit national rankings, along with Kate Voelker of Manhasset (N.Y.), who cleare 5-10 last month at the Armory, and Ella Michelitch of Minisink Valley High in Slate Hill, N.Y., who cleared 5-10 lasat month, also at the Armory.

Bolan also ran a PR 7.57 in the 55-meter dash, where she placed 2nd to Atlantic County Tech junior Brianna Growalt, who ran 7.41. That’s fastest by a Lindenwold girl since Toni Glatz ran 7.46 at Ursinus in 2016.

The Ocean City and Cherokee girls ran the two-fastest distance medleys in the U.S. so far this year Saturday at the Ott Center.

Ocean City won the race in 12:24.53, with Cherokee 2^nd in 12:25.94.

For Ocean City, sophomore Riley Tolson led off with a 3:46.76 for 1,200 meters, sophomore Julianne Goodman split 63.63 for two laps, junior Lillian Flora ran 2:26.68 for the 800 and junior Carly Godfrey anchored in 5:07.46, closing in 71.23 and 32.14.

For Cherokee, senior Madeline Meder opened in 3:51.20, sophomore Emily Couture ran 64.95, senior Sofia Recinto split 2.19.74 and senior Alyssa Suriano anchored in 5:10.06, closing in 72.40.

Haddonfield and Audubon both also ran sub-13, Haddonfield 3^rd in 12:55.48 and Audubon 4^th in 12:58.78. Their times are 5^th– and 6^th-fastest this year in South Jersey. Junior Molly Mills, sophomore Natalie Lacroce, junior Madison Kelsey and senior Edith Green ran for Haddonfield, and junior Lydia Gravante, senior Kylie Tocco, junior Isabella Legatie and senior Riley Fayer for Audubon.

The Ocean City and Cherokee times are 5^th-fastest in school history. Here’s a look at the all-time South Jersey list.

The Winslow girls ran the 11^th-fastest 800-meter relay in New Jersey history Saturday at the Armory.

We believe the lineup of sophomore Jasmine Jackson, senior Olivia Okaro, junior Jordyn Cato, and junior Cinniya Robinson ran 1:40.48 and placed 2^nd to Bishop McNamara of Forestville, Md., who ran 1:40.27.

Those two times are No. 3 and 4 in the U.S. this year. Winslow’s 1:40.48 is 4^th-fastest in South Jersey history, behind three previous Winslow performances.

A Winslow B team likely with the lineup of junior Amaya Jones, juinior Skyhe Seamon, junior Justice Green and senior Leeya Joseph placed 5^th in 1:43.31.

Lindenwold senior Egypt Bolan, the outdoor national champion last spring, tied her indoor PR of 5-8 at the Ott Center this week.

Bolan is New Jersey No. 1 and tied for U.S. No. 4 with her 5-8 clearance. She passed through 4-10, cleared 5-0, 5-2, 5-4, 5-6 and 5-8 on her 1^stattempt before missing .

Bolan set her lifetime-best and South Jersey-record 5-10 ¾ at Franklin Field at West Philly Nationals in June. That’s No. 3 in state history.

Indoors, Bolan’s 5-8, which she also cleared four times last year, is tied for 2^nd-best in South Jersey history behind Timber Creek’s Tierra Hooker, who cleared 5-10 at Ocean Breeze in 2018.

Others who have cleared 5-8 indoors include Lenape’s Willingboro’s Carol Lewis in 1981, Moorestown’s Shatich Rivers in 1992, Shawnee’s Abby Campbell in 2002, Lindsey Walsh in 2008, Winslow’s Gabrielle Bennett in 2015 and Clayton’s Alanna Woolfolk in 2023 and 2024.  X`x`

Williamstown junior Ian Israel Jr. and senior Jasiah Gibbons turned in terrific performances Monday at the the 11^th annual Ocean Breeze Holiday Festival.

Israel smashed the Williamstown school record in the 55-meter dash and Gibbons ran the 9^th-fastest 55-meter hurdles time in Gloucester County history.

Israel ran 6.55 in the trials, lowering his PR from 6.58 from a meet on the same track this past January, then he ran 6.51 in the final, breaking the school record of 6.53 set by Cameron Dobbins at 2015 Easterns at the Armory, where he placed 2^nd to Davon Tucker of Sterling, who ran 6.52. Dobbins went on to become an NCAA Division 3 All-America as a sprinter at Rutgers-Camden.

Israel’s time is fastest by a South Jersey sprinter this winter and tied for 3^rd-fastest in New Jersey.

Irael ran 10.91 last spring at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. This spring he’ll go after the school record in the 100 of 10.70 by Jared Nichols at 2016 South Jersey Group 4 Sectionals at Egg Harbor.

Israel’s 6.51 is now No. 13 on the all-time Gloucester County list. Of the 15-fastest times all-time, six have come since 2024.

Also on Staten Island Monday, Gibbons placed 3^rd in the 55-meter hurdles in 7.51, 2^nd-fastest so far this winter by a New Jersey hurdler and 2^nd-fastest ever by a Williamstown hurdler. Alexander Hollimon set the school record of 7.36 at the Bubble in 2024. Gibbons’ time is 11^th-fastest on the all-time Gloucester County indoor list.

Gibbons’ previous PR was a 7.64 from earlier this month at the Ott Center. He ran 7.70 in the trials Monday before his PR 7.51 in the final.

Atlantic County Tech sophomore Janiyah Gayle joined junior teammate Brianna Growalt in the rapidly growing 2026 17-foot club over the weekend.

Gayle jumped a PR 17-4 ¾ on her 1^st attempt at the SJTCA meet at the Ott Center Saturday. Her previous PR was 17-2 ½ this past January, also at the Ott Center. Her outdoor PR is a 17-2 at the Cape-Atlantic meet in May at Buena.

Growalt, the state Group 4 hurdles and long jump champ last spring, won the meet with a 17-6 ¼ on her final attempt. After a 16-10 ¾ opener, she had three jumps over 17 feet – 17-1, 17-5 ¼, 17-6 ¼, so she improved with each jump. Growalt PR’d last spring with an 18-9 ¼ at the Atlantic County Championships at Egg Harbor, and her indoor PR is 17-11 from last year’s Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

Growalt and Gayle now rank No. 8 and 11 all-time on the Atlantic County indoor list and they’re No. 1 and 3 in South Jersey so far, with Rancocas Valley senior Damanique Johnston 2^nd at 17-6.

Also over 17 feet this winter are Winslow senior Leeya Joseph [17-4 ½], Burlington City junior Nyima Burley [17-2 ½], Willingboro junior Trinity Brapoh [17-2] and Williamstown junior Timia Waters [17-0 ½].

Atlantic County Tech is the first Atlantic County school ever with two 17-footers at the same time.

Glassboro sophomore Moses Robles turned in a record-setting jumps double Saturday at the U.S. Marine Corps Holiday Classic at the Armory.

Robles placed 4th in the long jump at 22-4 ¾ and 3rd in the high jump at 6-6. Both are big lifetime bests and among the top sophomore jumps in South Jersey history. He’s now tied for No. 1 in New Jersey in the high jump and No. 2 in the long jump.

The 22-4 ¾ is No. 2 all-time by a South Jersey sophomore behind a 22-7 ½ by Lenape’s Chase Campbell in a meet at Lehigh in December of 2014. That performance is a little suspect because Campbell never approached that mark again and by his senior year he wasn’t even long jumping. He never came closer than 22 inches away from that jump indoors or outdoors the rest of his career. He ran 21.76 and 48.89 as a senior but never jumped better than 20-8 outdoors.

Anyway, Robles’ mark is No. 6 in Gloucester County history indoors and best in seven years, since former state triple jump record holder Khaliel Burnett of Delsea went 22-5 ¾ at 2018 Easterns at the Armory. Robles hit the 22-4 ¾ on his 2nd jump and also had a 21-4 in his series.

In the high jump, Robles finished 3rd behind twins Ethan and Aaron Rich of Lyman Hall High School in Wallingford, Conn. Ethan jumped 6-8 and Aaron 6-6, taking 2nd because Robles had one miss at 6-4.

His previous PR was 6-2 indoors earlier this month at the Ott Center, and his overall PR was 6-2 ¼ outdoors when he placed 5th in the freshman high jump in June at West Philly Nationals.

The 6-6 is tied for No. 4 in South Jersey indoor history by a sophomore and the best jump by a 10th-grader in 21 years, since Wesley Edwards of Winslow Township went 6-6 at the 2005 state Group 4 Relays at Princeton’s Jadwin Gym.

Robles didn’t triple jump Saturday, but he has already gone 46-4 ½ earlier this month at the Ott Center. That’s No. 4 in New Jersey this year, No. 5 all-time Gloucester County and best ever by a South Jersey sophomore. It’s also only two inches off the indoor school record of 46-6 ½ set two years ago by Cartrell Moore in Collegeville, Pa.

In her first 800 of the indoor season, U.S. champion and state record holder Natalie Dumas of Eastern ran just 5-100ths of a second off her indoor PR in beating a loaded field at the U.S. Marine Corps Holiday Classic at the Armory.

Dumas, who set the South Jersey indoor record of 2:07.68 this past March at Armory Nationals on the same track in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, won the race in 2:07.73.

Dumas was out in 31.58, took command of the race with a second lap of 30.67, then came back in 32.42 and 33.08.

She finished 20 meters ahead of two runners from an all-star team located in Scotch Plains. A freshman who lives in New York State but competes for the Scotch Plains all-star team was second in 2:11.37. Five girls ran under 2:14.

Dumas set the state outdoor record of 2:00.11 at West Philly Nationals, where she also won the 400-meter hurdles in 55.99 and 400 in 51.14 and anchored Eastern’s 2^nd-place sprint medley team. She’s the only woman in world history to run that fast for those three events.

Dumas’s 2:07.68 from last winter is No. 9 in state history.

Dumas’s time is No. 2 in the U.S. this year, just behind Ellie Barada of Bloomington South High in Indiana, who ran 2:07.19 in a meet in Ypsilanti, Mich., last week. Barada did not compete for a high school in that race, and it looks like a club meet more than anything. But since it was in-season race and she competed against (I think) only high school only competition and she’s currently a high school student, it counts as a high school performance.
