The Winslow girls took on some of the fastest 1,600-meter relay teams in the U.S. and Jamaica Friday and finished 5^th in the Penn Relays Championship of America race.

Sophomore Amariah Arango, junior Cinniya Robinson, senior Olivia Okaro and sophomore Jasmine Jackson ran 3:41.17 at Franklin Field, just off their South Jersey-record 3:40.64 – 4^th-fastest in state history – from the South Jersey Championship race on Thursday.

Winslow finished behind only three Jamaican schools and U.S. powerhouse Bullis School of Potomac, Md.

Winslow’s 5^th-place finish is the best by a South Jersey school in the Championship of America 4-by-4 in 27 years, since Willingboro – with

Takia Canty, Shakirah Rutherford, Latasha Taylor and Danielle Myricks – won the 1999 race in the pouring rain.

The only other South Jersey schools to finish in the top five in the C-of-A is Camden, who placed 4^th in both 1994 and 1995. Chantell Parks, Tynisha Revels, Aishia Lawson and Medina Salaam ran in 1994 and Revels, Salaam, Lawson and Alishia Lawson in 1995.

The fastest previous time run by a South Jersey school in a Championship of America race is Clayton’s 3:44.67 in 2022 with Arianna, Ariel and Amirah Sharpe and Kelsey Thomas.

On Friday, Arango and Robinson got the baton around the track in 1:50.44, Okaro split 55.92 and Jackson anchored in 54.82.

Pennsauken, which ran 3:41.89 on Thursday – 2^nd-fastest in South Jersey history to Winslow and 8^th-fastest in state history – scratched after breaking the state record in the 400-meter Championship of America relay earlier in the day.

The two races Thursday and Friday produced the three-fastest times ever run by South Jersey schools at Penn – by far:

3:40.64 … Winslow Twp., 2026 Championship of America [5^th]
3:41.17 … Winslow Twp., 2026 South Jersey Large School [1^st]

UConn freshman Jaidah Garrett from Absegami came a quarter of an inch from winning the Penn Relays long jump after PR’ing by more than five inches Friday at Franklin Field.

Garrett leaped 19-10 ¾, coming just 1 ¼ inches from becoming the 11^th South Jersey woman to jump 20 feet.

Garrett’s previous PR was 19-5 ½ indoors in January in Cambridge, Mass. She had a legal wind of 0.8 meters per second.

Garrett led until St. John’s senior Cassandra Lemus-Sodji jumped 19-11 on her final attempt.

Garrett responded with two jumps beyond her previous PR – a 19-9 ½ and a 19-8 ¼ on her 5^th and 6^th jumps but couldn’t quite catch Sodji.

Her jump makes her the No. 17 freshman in NCAA Division 1 and No. 2 in the Big East, behind only Sodji, who jumped 20-2 ¼ last month in Tampa.

On her first two jumps, Garrett went 18-8 ½ and 18-9 ¼ before a foul. Her five legal jumps averaged 19-4 ¼, less than an inch off her lifetime best before Friday.

The Pennsauken girls are officially the fastest in state history.

In one of the greatest performances ever by a South Jersey relay team, junior Summer Schaeffer and seniors Sanaya Dupree, Olivia Dupree and Sianni Wynn ran 45.30 in the 400-meter relay Friday to place 3^rd in the Championship of America race at the 130^th Penn Relays at Franklin Field.

They broke the state record of 45.48 set by Union Catholic on the same track at 2024 West Philly Nationals and broke the South Jersey record of 45.68 they set on Thursday at Penn to qualify for the presetigious Championship of America race.

Pennsauken finished behind only two Jamaican Schools. Edwin Allen of Clarendon, Jamaica, won the race in 44.13, and St. Jago of St. Catherine, Jamaica, was 2^nd in 45.08. Pennsauken’s time is 10^th-fastest in the U.S. this year, according to the MileSplit national database.

Pennsauken and Winslow both race in the Championship of America 1,600-meter relay later Friday.

A few minutes before Pennsauken’s historic race, Winslow won the Northeast Championship race in 46.39, 9^th-fastest in state history. Winslow, with sophomore Amariah Arango, senior Olivia Okaro, junior Cinniya Robinson and sophomore Jasmine Jackson, broke the meet record of 47.12 set last year by J.P. McCaskey High of Lancaster, Pa. Their time is 4^th-fastest in South Jersey history.

Winslow and Union Catholic got the stick neck and neck on the third handoff, but Jackson ran away from U.C.’s anchor to give Winslow the title.

Deptford ran what looks to be its fastest 3,200-meter relay in 59 years Friday morning at the 130^th running of the Penn Relays.

Anthony Schilling, Christian Gonzalez, Zachary Harrison and John Collier ran 7:57.81, which according to all available records is the school’s fastest since June 1, 1967, on the very same track at Franklin Field.

Results from Penn have been a mess for two days now and splits from Deptford’s race are not available.

In 1967, Deptford, with Irv Jenkins, Tom Williams, Jerry Clark and Irv Jenkins, ran 7:49.0 for the full two miles at the old Delaware Valley Meet of Champions at Franklin Field. Wayne Jenkins led off with a 1:56.9, Williams split 1:57.4, Clark ran 1:58.8 and Irv Jenkins anchored in 1:56.1.

That 7:49.0 converts to 7:46.2 for a 3,200-meter relay, which stood as the Gloucester County record for 51 years, until Delsea ran 7:46.28 at the 2018 Meet of Champions at Northern Burlington with George Tenenberg, William Mayhew, Colin Kane and Michael Szwed.

Deptford’s 7:57.81 is No. 11 in Gloucester County history. Their time was 3^rd-fastest among all New Jersey schools Saturday, behind only Hackensack [7:46.11] and Union Catholic [7:46.61], which both qualified for Saturday’s Championship of America.

Winslow and Pennsauken ran the two-fastest 1,600-meter relays in South Jersey history Friday – and No. 4 and 8 in state history – in a historic showdown in the Penn Relays South Jersey Large-School championship race at Franklin Field.

Winslow won the race in 3:40.64 and Pennsauken was 2^nd in 3:41.89, and both qualified for the prestigious Championship of America race, sheduled for 4:55 p.m. Friday.

Both ran under the South Jersey-record 3:43.46 from last year’s South Jersey Large-School race.

Their times are 5^th– and 6^th-fastest of more than 500 schools that raced in various 4-by-4 sections on Thursday. The nine-fastest schools advance to the Championship of America.

The only U.S. school to run faster than Winslow and Pennsauken was Bullis School of Potomac, Md., which ran 3:40.24.

Sophomore Jasmine Jackson ran a 53.85 anchor to move Winslow into the lead on the final lap. Sophomore Amariah Arango [56.66], junior Cinniya Robinson [53.53] and senior Olivia Okaro [56.62] ran the first three legs for Winslow.

Pennsauken got a 57.13 leadoff from junior Summer Schaeffer, then 52.46 from three-time national champion Sianni Wynn, a 56.17 from Olivia Dupree and a 56.14 from sophomore anchor Hope Edwards.

Earlier in the day, Pennsauken and Winslow posted the 3^rd– and 10^th-fastest times of more than 600 schools in the 400-meter relay, with Pennsauken setting a South Jersey record of 45.68 and qualifying for the Championship of America on Friday and Winslow running 46.40, 4^th-fastest in South Jersey history and qualifying for the Northeast Championship race Friday.

This is Winslow’s fifth win in the South Jersey Large-School race. They also won in 2016, 2017, 2018 and last year with Amariah Arango, Jasmine Jackson, Skhye Seamon and Cinniya Robinson setting a South Jersey-record 3:43.46 and advancing to the Championship of America, where they ran 3:48.28 and placed 8^th.

The Pennsauken girls ran the 4th-fastest time in state history and Winslow ran the 4th-fastest in South Jersey history Friday morning during sizzling 400-meter relay heats at the 130th Penn Relays.

Pennsauken earned a lane in the prestigious Championship of America race on Friday. Winslow missed by 3-100ths of a second but will race in the Northeast Championship race on Friday.

Pennsauken smashed the South Jersey record it set just five days earlier at the Woodbury Relays with junior Summer Schaeffer leading off, followed by seniors Sanaya Dupree, Olivia Dupree and Sianni Wynn running 45.68. They had set the South Jersey record of 45.93 Saturday at Woodbury.

Their time is fastest by a New Jersey public school in 28 years, since the legendary Montclair team with Aleah Williams, Mikele and Melissa Barber and Chantel Coppedge ran 45.50 for 2nd place behind Vere Tech in the Championship of America in 1998.

The only schools to run faster than Pennsauken Thursday morning were Edwin Allen of Clarendon, Jamaica, who ran 45.63, and the Bullis School of Potomac, Md., who ran 45.68. That’s actually the same time as Pennsauken, but down to 1,000ths, Bullis ran 45.676 and Pennsauken 45.680.

Pennsauken won its race running solo, with nobody else within three seconds at the finish line.

About 10 minutes before Pennsauken raced, sophomore Amariah Arango, senior Olivia Okaro, junior Cinniya Robinson and sophomore Jasmine Jackson of Winslow ran 46.40, 4th-fastest in South Jersey history and 11th in state history. Winslow had just set a school record of 46.55 at Woodbury.

Pennsauken and Winslow ran the 3rd- and 10th-fastest times of 610 teams that raced in the small-school and large-school races.

As one of the top nine schools, Pennsauken qualified for the Championship of America race at 2:15 p.m. Friday. They will line up in Lane 8 Friday.alongside four Jamaican schools and three high schools from Maryland and one from Virginia.

Winslow, as one of the next nine-fastest U.S. schools, qualified for the Northeast  Championship race at 2 p.m. Friday.

They will line up in Lane 6.

Winslow and Pennsauken are both among the top seeds in the 1,600-meter relays coming up later Thursday, giving both Pennsauken and Winslow another chance at reaching a Championship of America race.

Kingsway [48.36], Rancocas Valley [48.51] and Willingboro [48.52] also ran well under 49 seconds. Talia Griscom, Saudah Turner, Lariah Miles and Noemi Haller ran for Kingsway, Allana Peebles, Dominique Johnston, Alexandra Rodriguez, and Angelina Brown ran for Rancocas Valley and Jaden Murry, Erin Scott, Trinity Brapoh and Jade Pinder for Willingboro.

Lindenwold senior Egypt Bolan cleared 5-10 ½ – just a quarter of an inch off her PR – and placed 3rd on misses Thursday morning in the high jump at the 130th running of the Penn Relays at Franklin Field.

Bolan, who won West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field in June, was one of three girls to clear 5-10 ½ but one miss at 5-8 and two at 5-9 ¼ placed her 3rd behind two jumpers from New York state.

Bolan did clear 5-10 ½ on her 1st attempt and the official results then showed her clearing 5-11 ¼ on her also 1st attempt, which would have been the No. 2 jump in New Jersey history. But somehow that make turned into a miss in the results.

Bolan is No. 3 in state history at 5-10 ¾ behind Ridgewood’s Jenna Rogers [6-0 ¾ in 2017] and Randolph’s Tatiana Smolin [5-11 in 1983].

Winslow senior Leeya Joseph soared 19 feet to place 6^th in the long jump at the 130^th running of the Penn Relays Thursday morning at Franklin Field.

Joseph matched her best outdoor jump from last year’s Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. She PR’d indoors when she won the Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze with 19-1 ½. So this equals her 2^nd-best jump ever.

Joseph also had jumps of 18-0 ½, 17-11 ½, 17-8 ¼ and 17-6 ¼ in a solid series. She finished only 9 ½ inches behind winner Brooklyn Little of Elizabeth Seton in Bladensburg, Md., who jumped 19-9 ½ on her final jump.

Joseph was the top jumper from New Jersey. Senior Angelina Brown of Rancocas Valley placed 9^th at 18-4 ½ on her 1^st attempt, not far off her PR of 18-10 ¾ from a meet in Yeadon, Pa., last week.

Delsea senior Hannah Nuhfer didn’t just win the discus Thursday morning at the 130^th running of the Penn Relays. She dominated the event.

Nuhfer, who set the South Jersey-record 179-6 last weekend at the Woodbury Relays, threw 177-0 on her final attempt and finished with whe five-best attempts of the competition (we think).

Because of ongoing issues with results, the final girls discus results weren’t; posted until nearly two hours after the event ended, so we’re only now learning what Nuhfer’s winning throw was.

After a 175-1 on her 1st throw, Nuhfer hit 143-10 on her second throw, then finished with 174-4, 169-4, 172-0 and 177-0. The results from Penn have been a mess all day, so we don’t know exactly what he final mark was, but word from Franklin Field is it may have been her best of the day. But the final results have not been updated.

Even with the subpar second throw, Nuhfer averaged 171-3 on her six throws, which would have  won the event by 10 feet.

Nuhfer is the first South Jersey girl to win the Penn Relays discus in 24 years, since another Delsea girl, Jocelyn White, won the 2024 meet with a 157-3. Other New Jersey winners have been Sarah Herske of Mendham with 135-5 in 1999, the first year the girls discus was contested, and Layla Giordano of Northern Valley with 167-10 in 2024.

Nuhfer is only the 3^rd non-Jamaican girl to win the Penn Relays discus since 2010.

Her 175-1 – if that was the winning throw – is 9^th-best in Penn Relays history and 3^rd-best ever by a non-Jamaican thrower.

Pending the unreported 6^th throws Nuhfer led by close to 15 feet. Dionjah Shaw of Edwin Allen of Clarendon, Jamaica, was in 2^nd through five throws at 160-4.

Glassboro senior Sunsaarai Moore placed 7^th with a season-best 141-11 on her only legal throw, her 3^rd attempt. That’s No. 2 in New Jersey this year.

The first thing you notice about the Penn Relays college fields is who’s missing. Syracuse sophomore Jamir Brown from Riverside, one of the top hurdlers in the country; Penn State sophomore Ajani Dwyer from Washington Township, one of the world’s fastest sprinters; and Princeton junior Greg Foster, one of the country’s leading long jumpers, are all notable in their absences from the entry lists in the 110-meter hurdles, 100-meter dash and long jump.

Syracuse, Princeton Penn State are all competing at the 130th running of the Penn Relays this week, but three of the biggest South Jersey stars are mysterious absentees.

But here’s a look at 25  South Jersey college athletes to keep an eye on who are entered in individual college events later this week at Franklin Field. This is not meant to be a complete list, just a look at 25 of our top athletes heading over to Penn this week.
