Northern Burlington sophomore Liliah Gordon and Delsea senior Lillie Widmer both raced their way into the all-time South Jersey top-10 at 3,200 meters Sunday at the 55th annual Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

Gordon placed 5th in 10:38.20 and Widmer finished a step behind her in 6th with a 10:39.88. They’re the two-fastest times by South Jersey girls since Alyssa Aldridge of Mainland ran 10:33.95 – converted from a 10:37.65 full two-mile – at the 2016 Bishop Laughlin Games, also at Ocean Breeze.

Their times are 2nd- and 5th-fastest in meet history by South Jersey runners and by far the fastest times by place in meet history. They’re also No. 6 and 8 in South Jersey history and No. 18 and 21 in state history.

Gordon’s previous indoor PR was a 10:55.65 at sectionals last month at the Bubble. She ran 10:49.55 full two-mile at Ocean Breeze Nationals last year, which converts to 10:45.78 for 3,200 meters. Gordon broke her own South Jersey sophomore class record that she set at the Bubble last month, and her time is 4th-fastest in the U.S. among sophomores, according to MileSplit’s national database.

Widmer’s previous lifetime best was 10:54.31 indoors at states last month at the Bubble. Her PR coming into this season was 11:15.87 from Cherokee Night of Racing in the spring of the abbreviated 2021 season.

Gordon and Widmer both recorded the No. 2 marks in their county’s history, both behind a couple legendary runners.

Gordon is No. 2 in Burlington County history, behind Cherokee’s Megan Lacy, who ran 10:23.49 (converted from 10:27.13 for two miles) at 2011 Armory Nationals. Widmer is No. 2 in Gloucester County history, behind Kingsway’s Chelsea Ley, who ran 10:29.90 [converted from 10:33.57 for two miles] at 2009 Armory Nationals.

Gordon is the first Northern Burlington girl to medal at the Meet of Champions since Latasha Leake placed 4th in the high jump with a 5-4 clearance at Jadwin Gym in 2004. Widmer is Delsea’s first medalist since 2017, when Cecelia Gerstenbacher placed 2nd in the 200 in 25.16.

And let’s not forget Clearview senior Abigail Waddington and Egg Harbor junior Michaela Schlemo, who also broke 11 minutes.

Waddington placed 8th in 10:48.28, lowering her PR from 10:55.10 at the Bubble in January, and Schlemo, who took 11th in 10:57.53, lowering her PR from 11:06.06 from states. Waddington’s time is No. 4 in Gloucester County history, and Schlemo’s time is No. 2 in Atlantic County history, behind Aldridge in 2016.

Finally, Haddonfield junior Ava Thomas ran 11:04.46 and placed 14th in only her 4th race this winter. She trimmed 8 ½ seconds off her PR of 11:12.94 from states.

OK, time for lists!

Pennsauken’s dazzling Sianni Wynn continued her assault on the New Jersey track record book Sunday with a double win and two state freshman records at the 55th annual Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

Wynn became the first freshman to win two events at a Meet of Champions and set New Jersey freshman class records of 7.00 in the 55-meter dash and 24.48 in the 200. The previous marks were 7.04, which Wynn ran at Easterns Wednesday night and shared with Eastern’s English Gardner, and 24.81, which Wynn ran at the Hispanic Games in January.

Before this year, the freshman 200 record was 24.83, set by West Orange’s Taylor Aska last March at Ocean Breeze Nationals.

Wynn has also run 56.10 this year, only 16-100ths off the New Jersey freshman record of 55.94 set in 2014 by Matawan’s Sam Anderson at Easterns at the Armory.

Wynn is the 4th South Jersey girl to win two events at a Meet of Champions. Willingboro’s Carol Lewis won the high jump and hurdles in 1981, Dana Burnett of Williamstown won the 55 and 400 in 1996 – both at Princeton’s Jadwin Gym – and Gardner won the 55 and 400 in 2007 at the Bubble.

Wynn’s 55 time is No. 8 in South Jersey history and No. 18 in state history. Her 200 time is No. 5 in South Jersey history and No. 17 in state history.

According to the MileSplit national database, she’s the No. 1 freshman nationally at 55 meters, No. 2 in the 200 and No. 4 in the 400.

According to World Athletics, Wynn’s 200 time is No. 1 among U.S. runners in the Under-18 division and No. 5 in the world.

Pennsauken’s only previous girls winner at an indoor Meet of Champions was Alethia Jenkins, who won the 55-meter hurdles as a sophomore in 2000 with a time of 8.21.

If all that wasn’t enough, Wynn finished her day by splitting 57.23 on Pennsauken’s 6th-place 1,600-meter relay team for a 3rd medal.

Pennsauken, seeded 11th at 4:07.60, ran a school-record 4:01.86, with sophomore Amina Dyer, freshman Sanaya Dupree and sophomore Ameenah Rodriguez running the first three legs.

Pennsauken senior Bryce Tucker shattered the South Jersey indoor 400 record Sunday morning with a historic performance at the 55th annual Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze.

In a race that produced three of the 15-fastest times in state history, Tucker ran 47.45 and placed 2nd to Seton Hall Prep’s Xavier Donaldson, who ran 47.35.

Both ran well under the meet record of 48.26 set by Trenton’s Zyaire Clemes in 2013 at the Bubble.

Tucker destroyed the South Jersey record of 47.90 set by Moorestown’s Brandon Outlaw at 2017 Nationals at the Armory as well as the Camden County record of 48.27 set in 2002 by Camden’s Jade Smith at Midwest Indoor Track Classic in Lincoln, Neb.

Tucker, a two-time Meet of Champions winner outdoors in the 400-meter hurdles, lowered his PR nearly a second from 48.44, which he just ran Wednesday when he won Easterns.

Donaldson and Tucker now rank No. 6 and No. 7 nationally in the 400, according to the MileSplit national database.

The fastest previous time at Meet of Champions by a South Jersey quarter-miler was a 48.66 by Olympic gold medalist Lamont Smith of Willingboro when he won the 1991 meet at Jadwin Gym in Princeton.

The race produced the fastest times for at least 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th places in meet history and probably much deeper with 14 boys under 50 seconds.

Third-place Alexander Sadikov of Ocean Township placed 3rd in 48.00, also under the previous meet record.

Deptford senior Lathan Brown placed 6th in 48.96, breaking the Gloucester County indoor 400 record of 49.11 set at the 2012 Meet of Champions at the Bubble by Woodbury’s Darrell Bush. His time is No. 16 on the all-time Meet of Champions performance list.

Also under 50 were Pleasantville senior Xander Roberts-Bogin [9th in 49.62 in an earlier heat] and Atlantic City senior Darrel Farrow [14th in PR 49.99].

Historic race Sunday morning for Washington Township junior Yashahya Brown, who out-raced U.S. No. 1 Nathaniel Rayan of Scotch Plains-Fanwood at the 55th annual Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze and broke the state junior class record along the way.

Brown got a fast start, got out in front of Rayan and never allowed the Scotch Plains senior to close on him, finishing in 7.22 – No. 6 in state history and No. 2 in the U.S. this year, behind Rayan’s 7.14 at Easterns Wednesday at the Armory.

Brown was only 4th-fastest in qualifying rounds at 7.59, behind Rayan (7.25), Pennsauken’s Bryce Tucker (7.47) and Toms River North’s Jacob Klyer (7.52), who edged Brown in his own heat.

But the final was all Brown, who blew away his PR of 7.36 from sectionals at the Bubble last month and lowered the state junior class record set in 1996 by another Gloucester County hurdler, Delsea’s Sultan Tucker, who ran 7.23 at Easterns at Princeton’s Jadwin Gym.

His time is tied for 3rd-fastest in meet history, behind Jermaine Collier of Trenton, who won the 2012 race in 7.19, and East Orange’s Cory Poole, who ran 7.21 in 2017. Willingboro’s Isaad Williams in 2012 and St. Augustine’s Sincere Rhea in 2019 also ran 7.22.

Brown is the fourth Washington Township boy to win a Meet of Champions title, following Carmen Cavella in the 1,600 in 2004 [4:19.09], Xavier Fraction in the 800 in 2009 [1:54.82] and Devon Carter in the hurdles in 2010 [7.49].

Tucker finished 3rd in a PR 7.36 – more on him later but that’s No. 14 in South Jersey history.

With Kingsway’s Evan Corcoran leading off and Sterling’s Jah’mere Beasley anchoring, Rowan on Saturday afternoon ran the 2nd-fastest 800-meter relay in the world this year and the fastest in NCAA Division 3 history.

Corcoran, Amare Conte of Snyder High in Jersey City, Nana Agyemang of Parsippany and Beasley ran 1:25.86 at the Armory, breaking the Division 3 record of 1:26.33 set in 2006 by a New Jersey City College team that included Winslow’s Anthony Miles.

From all available resources, it appears to be the No. 15 time in U.S. history and makes Rowan the No. 11 performer all-time.

This is the second Division 3 record Rowan has set this year. Agyemang, Beasley, Sterling’s Marquise Young and Conte ran 3:10.09 last month to break the 1,600-meter relay record set in 2004 by Lincoln.

On Saturday, at the AARTFC Championships, Corcoran and Conte got the baton around the track in 42.85 – the official splits don’t break up the first two legs – and Agyemang split 21.70 to set up Beasley, who anchored in 21.31.

Rowan led four schools under 1:29 in a very fast race, with SUNY Geneseo 2nd in 1:28.59.

Rowan broke the meet record of 1:27.45 that they set last year with the lineup of Robert McKinney, Ageymang, Conte and Beasley.

Rowan is now responsible for five of the six all-time sub-1:28 times in NCAA Division 3 history, including that 1:27.45 last year and the 1:25.86 and 1:26.43 this year.

According to the World Athletics rankings, Rowan’s time is 2nd this year in the world only to LG Stadtwerke München, a German team that ran 1:25.43 at Helmut-Körnig-Halle in Dortmund last month.

Rowan’s 1:25.86 would rank 8th in NCAA Division 1 history, behind only performances by Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Charleston Southern and South Carolina. It’s faster than the Division 2 record of 1:25.98 set in 1985 by Abiline Christian.

Only one D-3 school has run faster outdoors – Dubuque of Iowa ran 1:25.74 this past April in the Drake Relays.

Rowan’s time is also fastest by any college 4-by-2 in any division since Mississippi State ran 1:25.20 at the Armory in 2016 and the fastest by any U.S. 4-by-4 since the Bullis School – a private high school in Potomac, Md.  – set the national high school record of 1:25.60 at the Virginia Showcase in Lynchburg in 2019.

Here’s my best effort at an all-time U.S. list. Unfortunately, nobody keeps U.S. indoor records because USATF is a joke!

Hot 800 Saturday and a near school record for St. John’s junior Nia Holden, a graduate of Highland and transfer from American.

Holden ran 2:10.46 in the ECAC Trials in Boston, advancing to Sunday’s final.

Racing in the 4th and final heat, Holden needed to run faster than 2:10.74 to qualify for the final, so she needed a PR just to advance, and she came up huge with a nearly one-second lifetime best.

She was out fast in 31.21 and 64.11 and after a 33.43 she closed in 32.91.

Holden’s time is No. 2 in St. John’s history and fastest since Stephanie Van Pelt set the school record of 2:09.43 at the 2016 Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark.

Holden spent her first three years at American University in Washington, D.C, where she ran 2:14.43 indoors and 2:14.76 outdoors. She ran XC this past fall for American, but two months after her last cross country race for the Eagles, she resurfaced at St. John’s, located in Jamaic, Queens.

It didn’t take her long to enjoy a breakthrough at St. John’s with a 2:11.90 at the Armory in January in her first 800 for the Red Storm. She lowered her PR to 2:11.03 at Boston University last month and then ran 2:11.06 at the Big East Championships two weeks ago in Chicago.

The women’s 800 final at the ECAC Championships is scheduled for 12:20 p.m. Sunday, and Holden will line up in Lane 4.

Here’s a look at the updated St. John’s all-time indoor 800 list:
2:09.43 … Stephanie Van Pelt, 2016
2:10.44 … Nia Holden, 2023
2:10.73 … Chandel Marion, 1990
2:10.82 … Olive Smart, 1998
2:11.42 … Marion Irwink, 1989
2:11.99 … Theresa Jaeger, 1980
2:12.06 … Marlow Shulz, 2015
2:12.57 … Veronica Thompson, 2014
2:13.09 … Dina Carpena, 1992
2:13.54 … Jasmine Barreto, 2006

Holden ran 2:18.00 indoors and 2:14.96 outdoors at Highland.

Washington Township grad Jayden Greene, a St. Joe’s sophomore, lowered his 800 PR for the 3rd time this winter Saturday at the IC4A Championships at Boston University.

Green ran 1:51.10, the 4th-fastest qualifying time for Sunday’s final and will go into the final as the No. 6 seed as the 2nd-fastest non-auto qualifier. Green, racing in the 4th of four heats, finished behind Drake Prince of Yale, who ran 1:50.03.

Greene was out fast, in 26.22 for the first 200, and came through 400 in 53.58 and 600 in 1:21.73 before closing in 29.32.

The 800 final is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. Sunday.

His previous PR of 1:51.81 came in a meet at Boston University last month. Before January, his lifetime best was a 1:54.10 outdoors in Williamsburg, Va., and his indoor PR was 1:55.51 last February at the Atlatnic 10 Championships in Fairfax, Va.

Sadly, St. Joe’s is one of the few Division 1 schools in the country that doesn’t have an all-time top-10 on its web site. There is a “media guide” with an all-time roster in case you wanted to know that someone named “Donnelly” ran track for the Hawks in 1926.

But if you’re like me and want to know where Greene’s 1:51.10 ranks in St. Joe’s history, I got nothing.

We just know the school record is 1:50.39 set by Bob Jackson in 1994, so Green is only 71-100ths of a second from that.

I did check back on old TFRRS performance lists, which reveals that Greene’s 1:51.10 is fastest by a St. Joe’s half-miler since at least 2009, which is far back as available records go.

The indoor IC4A Championships date back to 1921. IC4A stands for Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America.

Delsea did something at Easterns this week that had never been done, at least as far back as the last 50 years.

Junior Greg Masso, sophomore Jonathan Harris and junior Tyler Habersham-Agbermenu all placed in the top six, the first time in at least half a century that three boys from the same high school placed in the top six in any event at Easterns.

And you don’t want to know how long it took me to look that up!

At the 88th annual Easterns Wednesday night at the Armory, Masso threw 53-11 ½ for 3rd, Harris 52-0 for 5th and Habersham-Agbermenu 51-6 for 6th.

There are no full results available anywhere before 1972, so it’s possible it happened at some point. The meet was first held (under a different name) in 1934. But I don’t think schools were allowed to enter more than two athletes per event back in those days.

The closest instance I could find came in 1999, when Danye Brown and Dwight Ruff of Camden went 1-2 in the 55-meter hurdles, and Wilson’s Jeff Young was 3rd. So that was a 1-2-3 sweep by the Camden district.

Masso leads South Jersey at 54-8 from the Cherokee Throw Down #2 in January. He’s No. 7 seed in the Meet of Champions on Sunday

Harris’s 52-0 was not only a PR but his first time over 50 feet. Not to mention his first time over 49, 48 and 47 feet. His previous PR was a 46-8 at the Bubble in January. Harris, a 1st-time thrower this winter, is now the No. 3 sophomore in the state and No. 1 in South Jersey. His throw is best by a S.J. sophomore indoors since Bridgeton’s Braheme Days Jr. threw 55-6 ½ in 2011 and the best by a Gloucester County sophomore since Kwabena Keene of Washington Township had a 53-2 in 2007.

Habersham-Agbermenu s 51-6 was also a PR and also his first time over 50 feet. He’s also a 1st-year thrower and had a previous PR of 49-4 ¼ at sectionals last month at the Bubble.

Harris and Habersham-Agbermenu won’t be in action at the Meet of Champions, but another Delsea 50-footer – Jake Phelan – will be. He earned a wild-card after placing 7th at the state Group 3 meet. Phelan has a PR of 50-9 ½ from the Cherokee Thrown Down #3.

Incredibly, Delsea is the only school with two 50-footers this winter – and they have four.

Technically, Bergen Catholic has two – Justin King has thrown 52-9 and Ben Shue 55-10 ¼. But Shue – who threw 60-9 and 198-5 last spring – is competing unattached this winter and only competed in one meet.

Buena graduate Maria Muzzarelli, a sophomore at Widener, won the 60-meter dash by 4-100ths of a second Saturday at the AARTFC Championships at the Armory.

Muzzarelli, the Middle Atlantic Conference champion, ran 7.77 and edged Vassar’s Traci Francis, who was second in 7.81. The first four finishers are ran within 7-100ths of a second of each other.

The AARTFC is the All-Atlantic Regional Track and Field Conference.

Muzzarelli broke the school record at 60 meters last week with her 7.68 at the conference meet in Reading. The previous record was set by teammate Jayla Gore, who ran 7.81 last month at the Armory. Gore was third Saturday in 7.83.

Muzzarelli had PRs of 7.50 for 55 meters and 12.77 for 100 meters. She was 2020 Group 1 sectional champ in the 55 and placed 4th at states.

Muzzarelli ranks 17th in NCAA Division 3 with today as the deadline for qualifying for nationals. The top 20 performers in each event are invited to nationals, which will be held next weekend in Birmingham.
