Winslow’s Ma’Syiah Brawner warms up for Penn Relays with Woodbury Relays triple jump meet record and best jump in New Jersey this year!!!!!!!!

Winslow senior Ma’Syiah Brawner warmed up for the Penn Relays with a state-leading triple jump at Woodbury Saturday.

Brawner won the triple at 39-8 ½, which broke the meet record of 38-5 set by Northern Burlington’s Ashley Edwards in 2015.

Brawner had a strong series, opening with a 37-1, then jumping 38-11 ¼, 39-8 ½ and then 39-5 ½. All four jumps were made with legal wind. She jumped within 6 ½ inches of her lifetime best, a 40-3 from her state Group 3 title at South Plainfield last May with a legal 0.1 tailwind. That’s No. 3 in South Jersey history.

Brawner competes in the triple jump at noon Thursday at the 130th running of the Penn Relays at Franklin Field.

Brawner also raced Saturday on Winslow’s shuttle hurdles team, which won Group 3 in 59.10, 6th-fastest time in state history. More on that group this afternoon.

Cumberland Regional’s Richard Pierce wins Woodbury with top Cumberland County javelin throw in 12 years!!!!!!!!

Cumberland Regional senior Richard Pierce recorded the longest javelin throw by a Cumberland County thrower in 12 years Friday at the Woodbury Relays.

Pierce won the javelin with a 177-7 on his 4th throw, one of four throws he had over 170 feet. It’s the best throw by a Cumberland County athlete since Kelvin Tull of Millville threw 178-7 at the 2014 South Jersey Open at Buena. The last Cumberland County thrower to hit 180 feet is another Pierce from Cumberland Regional, Andrew Pierce, who threw 191-5 at the 2009 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield.

Richard Pierce’s previous PR was 172-9 from last year’s state Group 3 meet, also at South Plainfield. He beat that three times Friday with a 173-4 on his 1st throw, 174-3 on his 3rd and the 177-7 on his 5th. He finished with a 172-4.

Senior Kaden Roane of Deptford placed 2nd with a 171-5, so Pierce had the four-best throws of the competition.

Pierce’s 177-7 is No. 7 in New Jersey this year and the best throw by a South Jersey athlete. Roane is 2nd at 171-5, and Williamstown senior Wayne Farmer is 3rd with his 167-3 at Woodbury.

Led by Willingboro’s Christopher Jones and Overbrook’s Jaiden Mitchell, long jumpers go wild at Woodbury Relays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite a long jump competition at Woodbury Saturday, with Willingboro senior Christopher Jones and Overbrook junior Jaiden Mitchell both soaring over 23 feet, three others over 22 feet and a total of 13 jumpers hitting 21 feet or better.

And thank you Woodbury Relays for having a wind guage at the long jump. All 13 jumpers over 21 feet or better were legal on their best jump. And remember, only four jumps per competitor, which makes these results even more impressive.

The top four jumpers had their best jump on their 4th and final attempt.

Jones jumped 23-3 ½ with a 0.0 tailwind on his final jump to win the event. Mitchell hit 23-2 with a 2.0 headwind to place 2nd, Winslow junior Ka’Ron Ceasar jumped 22-11 with no wind on his final jump and junior David Stewart of Schalick hit 22-3 ¾ on his last attempt with a 1.5 headwind. Winslow senior Zyaire Rothmiller-McIntosh also jumped 22 feet, reaching 22-1 ¾ on his 2nd jump.

Jones’ previous PR was a 22-3 from last year’s Central Jersey Group 3 meet at Jackson Liberty. Mitchell’s was 22-4 ¼ from an indoor meet in December at the Ott Center. Ceasar’s MileSplit profile only shows one previous high school track meet, and he jumped 21-10 ¾ at Bridgeton earlier this month so that’s apparently his previous PR.

Stewart’s previous PR was 21-4 ½ from the 2024 Salem County Championships at Salem, and Rothmiller-McIntosh’s PR is 22-4 ½ from last June at Greensboro Nationals.

An interesting note about Willingboro’s Jones. His 23-3 ½ is 5th-best in Willingboro history and the best jump by a Chimera since All-America high jumper, long jumper and hurdler Mike Morrison soared 24-5 at a meet on his home track in 2003. Mitchell’s 23-2 is an Overbrook school record.

For this special occasion I put together a list of every South Jersey jumper that’s ever gone 23 feet. As always, errors and omissions, please let me know in the comment section.

Timber Creek’s Nyla Jones shatters both Rowan hurdles records in Greensboro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rowan sophomore Nyla Jones from Timber Creek smashed two school records this weekend in Greensboro, N.C.

Racing at the Aggie Invitational at North Carolina A&T, Jones broke the Rowan school records in both the high and intermediate hurdles.

Jones ran 13.92 in the 100-meter hurdles prelims on Saturday with a legal 0.8 tailwind, smashing the Rowan record of 14.03 set by Darielle Cross at the 2019 NJAC Championships in Galloway Township. Her previous 100 hurdles PR was 14.27 from a meet last April in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Jones also ran 1:00.26 in the intermediates on Friday, breaking her own school record of 1:00.42 at last year’s NJAC Championships in Ewing.

She’s now No. 4 in NCAA Division 3 in the intermediates and No. 6 in the highs. Her high hurdles time is fastest by a NJAC runner since 1998, when Melissa Jones of Paterson Eastside and Montclair State ran 13.69 when she placed 2nd at Division 3 Nationals in St. Paul, Minn., and her 400IH time is fastest since Eliza Bruncaj of TCNJ ran 1:00.15 at the 2023 NCAA Division 3 Championships in Rochester, N.Y.

Jones is a two-time All-America hurdler. She placed 5th in the intermediates last spring at Division 3 Nationals in Geneva, Ohio, and she was 6th in the 60-meter hurdles at indoor Nationals in Birmingham, Ala.

Jones ran a PR 24.67 earlier this month in Daytona Beach. She also led off Rowan’s 3:56.33 4-by-4 in Greensboro this past weekend. That’s No. 2 in the NJAC this year. No splits listed in the results.

Deptford, Camden both run 1:27-point, leading parade of smoking hot 4-by-2 races at Woodbury!!!!!!!!

A series of hot 800-meter relays at Woodbury Saturday produced three of the 24-fastest times in South Jersey history, eight schools under 1:30 and six of the nine-fastest times in New Jersey this year.

Deptford led the way, with freshman Liam Brown, senior Kareem Brown, junior Xavion Holmes and senior Johann Hernandez winning the Group 3 race in 1:27.47, 10th-fastest in South Jersey history and No. 2 in Gloucester County history, behind Delsea’s 1:27.19 from East Brunswick in 2024. Deptford took down the Group 3 meet record of 1:28.35 set in 2014 by Timber Creek.

Camden, with seniors Jawan Brownlee, Christian Braxton, Giovanni Marshall-Edwards and Jaiden Steele was 2nd-fastest with a 1:27.74 to win the Group 1 race, 16th-fastest in South Jeraey history and Camden’s fastest in 22 years, since the Panthers ran 1:24.90 in Raleigh, N.C., in 2004. Camden broke the Group 1 meet record of 1:30.0 set by Glassboro in 2009.

Timber Creek ran a school-record 1:28.14 with freshman Amare Gordon, sophomore Najee Stanback, junior Timothy Whitaker and senior Justice Avery placing 2nd in Group 3 behind Deptford. That’s No. 25 in South Jersey history.

Overbrook juniors Jaiden Mitchell, Andrew Powell, Axcel Bailey and John Froelich ran a school-record 1:29.04 to win the Group 2 race.

Winslow ran 1:29.07 and placed 3rd in Group 3 with junior Ka’Ron Ceasar, senior Quayd Hendryx, freshman Keyon Alli and senior Mahjae Torres. It was Hendryx’s first race for Winslow after he won the state Group 3 title for Burlington Township last spring. Winslow ran slightly faster – 1:28.82 – last weekend at Deptford.

Rancocas Valley was next-fastest, with junior Jor-el Santiago and seniors Julian Coppage-Seepersaud, Xavier Bancroft and Thomas Howard Jr. running 1:29.32 to win Group 4. That’s No. 13 on the all-time Burlington County list.

Pleasantville was 2nd to Overbrook in Group 2, with junior Todd Watson, junior Semaj Dozier, senior Qwasim Jackson and junior Raliel Wiggins running 1:29.53.

And Egg Harbor also dipped under 1:30, with senior Tyler Bernisky, senior Ari Bell, sophomore Derrick Doughty and junior Xavier Aucule running 1:29.69 for 2nd to R.V. in Group 4.

Williamstown [1:30.01], Penns Grove [1:30.23] and Willingboro [1:30.98] also broke 1:31 in their races.

On the updated 2026 New Jersey list, Deptford, Camden, Timber Creek, Winslow, Eastern [1:28.84 at Deptford], Overbrook, Rancocas Valley, Pleasantville, Egg Harbor and Burlington Township [1:29.72 at Don Danser Invitatiojnal] are ranked 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th.

HANNAH NUHFER OBLITERATES HER OWN SOUTH JERSEY DISCUS RECORD WITH #19 THROW IN U.S. PREP HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delsea senior Hannah Nuhfer, the 2024 U.S. scholastic discus champion, smashed her own South Jersey record Saturday at the Woodbury Relays with the No. 19 throw in U.S. scholastic history.

Nuhfer won the discus at Woodbury with a 179-6 bomb on her 6th and final throw. That broke her own South Jersey record of 178-9 that she threw at Franklin Field in June.

Her throw is 2nd-best in New Jersey history, only 2 ½ feet shy of the state record of 182-0 that Alyssa Wilson of Donovan Catholic threw at the 2017 Rowan Open in Glassboro.

So the two-best discus throws in state history were thrown in Gloucester County. The 3rd-best, Jocyln White’s 172-2 in 2004, occurred in Egg Harbor Township.

Nuhfer opened with a modest 129-3 before a couple 160-foot throws – 162-10 and 167-2. After a foul and a 136-5 she hit the big one on her final attempt.

She broke the meet record of 149-11 set in 2012 by Cherokee’s Jessica Woodard, a world championship shot put finalist in 2022.

Nuhfer’s throw is No. 2 in the U.S. so far this year, according to the MileSplit national database. It’s No. 26 among all U.S. women. Nuhfer’s birthday is not on her World Athletics profile, but unless she turns 20 in 2026 she’s eligible to compete the U.S. Under-20 National Championships this summer in Eugene. The 2026 Under-20 lists on the World Athletics web site have not been updated.

Eastern’s Jaila Ash runs 5th-fastest 100-meter hurdles time in Iowa history!!!!!!!!

Iowa junior Jailya Ash equalled her hurdles PR Saturday when she won the 100-meter highs at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational at Percy Beard Track at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Ash ran 13.29 with a legal wind of 0.0, 3rd-fastest this year in the Big Ten Conference and fastest by an underclassman.

Ash equalled her PR set when she competed for U.Conn at a home meet in Storrs in March 2024. That stands as U.Conn’s school record.

Ash’s 13.29 is 5th-fastest ever recorded by a South Jersey woman. It’s No. 32 among U.S. women this spring.

It’s also No. 5 all-time all-time at Iowa and fastest since Winslow’s Tionna Tobias ran 13.11 at 2023 NCAA West Prelims in Sacramento.

This was only Ash’s 2nd 100-meter hurdles race since she transferred from Connecticut to Iowa.

LINDENWOLD’S EGYPT BOLAN SMASHES WOODBURY RELAYS HIGH JUMP RECORD WITH #9 JUMP IN U.S. THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!

Lindenwold senior Egypt Bolan, the national high jump champion last spring, recorded the 2nd-highets clearance of her life Saturday and shattered a 14-year-old meet record in the process.

Bolan cleared 5-10 ¼ on her 1st attempt, breaking the meet record of 5-10 set at the 2012 meet by West Deptford’s Megan Kirschling.

When Bolan cleared 5-10 ¾ at Franklin Field in June, she broke Kirschling’s South Jersey record of 5-10 ½ at the 2012 Group 2 meet at South Plainfield.

Bolan was clean at 5-2, 5-4, 5-6, 5-8 and 5-10 and didn’t have any misses until she jumped at what would have been a PR 5-11, a height cleared by only two New Jersey jumpers. Tatiana Smolin of Randolph cleared 5-11 at the 1983 TAC Junior Championships in State College and that stood as the state record for 34 years, until Jenna Rogers of Ridgewood cleared 6-0 ¾ at 2017 Greensboro Nationals.

Bolan is No. 9 nationally, according to the MileSplit national database. She’ll compete Thursday morning at the 130th Penn Relays at Franklin Field, site of her national title 10 months ago.

A look at how the Audubon, Willingboro, Winslow, Pennsauken and Kingsway girls won team titles at Woodbury!!!!!!!!

The Audubon, Willlingboro and Winslow Township girls won Woodbury Relays team titles Saturday, and Pennsauken and Kingsway tied in Group 4.

Willingboro won the team title 47-31 over West Deptford, with Sterling [28] and Paul VI [24] also in contention.

Willingboro won the 4-by-1 in 49:26, the 4-by-2 in 1:45.32 and the 4-by-4 in 4:08.16. Freshman Erin Scott and junior Jade Pinder ran on all three winning relay teams.

West Deptford was 1st in the 4-by-8 with senior Elizabeth Derasmo, freshman Makayla Roomet, senior Kayla Romanoski and junior Taylor Szierzega running 10:32.41 and 1st in the sprint medley with freshman Devyn Hightower, freshman Annegabrielle Alexis, sophomore Melena Moore and Romanoski running 4:20.30.

Paul VI picked up a win in the DMR with junior Kara Salamone, freshman Jenny Cosnerr, sophomore Payton Blake and sophomore Morgan Kuzma running 13:03.71.

And Sterling won the shuttle hurdles with junior Shierra Atkins, senior Jordan Frazier, senior Jordyn Spearman and senior Eliyah Smith clocking 1:13.86.

Group 3
Winslow piled up 66 out of a possible 70 points and rolled to the team title over Mainland [46] and Ocean City [36].

Sophomore Amariah Arango, junior Cinniya Robinson and sophomore Jasmine Jackson were all triple winners, Arango in the 4-by-1, 4-by-8 and sprint medley and Robinson and Jackson both in the 4-by-1, sprint medley and shuttle hurdles.

Winslow double winners were senior Olivia Okaro and juniors Jordyn Cato and Skyhe Seamon. Okaro ran on the 4-by-1 and sprint medley and Cato and Seamon on the 4-by-2 and 4-by-4.

Also for Winslow, sophomores Adaiah Arango, Julisa Derry and Annabella Cassidy all ran on the 4-by-8, junior Amaya Jones ran a leg on the 4-by-2, sophomore Nylah Lovelace Crump was on the winning 4-by-4, senior Leeya Joseph ran on the 4-by-2, and seniors Ma’Syiah Brawner and Justice Green were on the shuttle hurdles team.

Group 4
Pennsauken and Kingsway wound up tied at 46 in Group 4.

I wrote earlier about Pennsauken’s historic 4-by-1 [https://sjtrackblog.com/2026/04/18/pennsauken-girls-shatter-2nd-south-jersey-record-in-90-minutes-as-4×1-mark-goes-down/], 4-by-2 [https://sjtrackblog.com/2026/04/18/pennsauken-girls-destroy-south-jersey-800-meter-relay-record-with-fastest-time-ever-by-new-jersey-public-school/] and 4-by-4 [https://sjtrackblog.com/2026/04/18/pennsauken-girls-cap-greatest-day-of-sprinting-in-new-jersey-history-with-6th-fastest-4×4-in-s-j-history/].

Williamstown won the 4-by-8 with junior Chanelle Briscoe, sophomore Yazmire Bonhomme, senior Sophia Aldridge and junior Tristan Hughes running 9:46.92.

Eastern ran 4:08.28 to win the sprint medley, with senior Knoelle Whittle, freshman TrinityWilliams, senior Natalie Dumas and sophomore Megan Sacavitch. Dumas is listed as a 200 leg, but considering the 800 split is 2:11.47 I’m guessing she ran the 800.

Eastern also won the DMR in 12:48.18 with junior Theresa Albertson, Williams, sophomore Riya Parikh and Dumas anchoring with a 5:06.46 split.

Kingsway ran 1:04.19 to win the shuttles with a lineup of junior Norah Brown, senior Lariah Miles, junior Kenya Nobles and freshman Kelly Farrell.

Pennsauken girls cap greatest day of sprinting in New Jersey history with 6th-fastest 4×4 in S.J. history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After shattering South Jersey records in the 400- and 800-meter relays, Sianni Wynn and the Pennsauken girls ran the 6th-fastest 4-by-4 in South Jersey history Saturday at the Woodbury Relays.

How about 45.93, 1:36.63 and 3:44.97?

Safe to call it the greatest day of sprinting in New Jersey girls track history. No other school has ever run as fast in the 4-by-1, 4-by-2 and 4-by-4 on the same day and only one other school – a catholic school based in Scotch Plains – has run that fast in school history.

Pennsauken finished the triple record-setting performance by winning the 1,600-meter relay with Summer Schaefer leading off in 57.38, Wynn splitting 53.45, then Olivia Dupree running 58.36 and Hope Edwards anchoring in 55.80.

They broke the Group 4 and overall meet record of 3:48.24 set by Columbia in 2013.

Pennsauken’s time is 16th-fastest in state history. Pennsauken is the 2nd school in state history to run as fast as 45.93, 1:36.63 and 3:44.97 at any point in school history and the first to do it in the same meet.
