Incredible 1-2 finish for Deptford and Egg Harbor in the shuttle hurdles at West Philly Nationals Sunday morning at Franklin Field.

Deptford won in 58.42, and Egg Harbor, racing in the previous section, placed 2^nd in 58.91. They were the only schools under 59 seconds in the first event on Day 4 of the meet.

For Deptford, senior Kareem Brown, junior Xavion Holmes, senior Kamaldeep Singh and senior Larry Norman ran 58.42, 6^th-fastest in South Jersey history and fastest in 23 years, since Winslow ran 57.70 at the 2003 Willingboro Relays with Robert Penn, Brandon Bates, Kenny Scott and and Reuben McCoy,

Deptford broke the Gloucester County record of 59.82 set by Washington Township last year at the Randolph Relays with Nico DiGiacomo, Idris Fisher, Joseph McAndrews and Zachary Kotel.

Holmes and Kareem Brown also ran on Deptford’s 4^th-place 800-meter relay team, and Brown was 5^th in the intermediates, so Brown is now a triple All-America and Holmes is a double All-America.

For Egg Harbor, junior Taj Jackson, junior Xavier Aucule, sophomore Sebastian Antonius and senior Ari Bell ran the 12^th-fastest time in South Jersey history and fastest by an Atlantic County school since Oakcrest ran 58.54 at the 2012 Carl Lewis Invitational in Willingboro with Syid Evans White, Chase Toliver, Aaron Wilson and Stephen Adkisson.

North Brunswick placed 3^rd in 59.00, giving New Jersey a 1-2-3 finish.

One day after winning the 400-meter hurdles at the U.S. Under-20 Championships at Hayward Field, Natalie Dumas won the flat 400 at Hayward Field Nationals, a high school national meet being run currently with Under-20 Nationals.

Dumas has now won eight national titles [see full list below], tied with four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin for most in state history.

On Thursday, Dumas ran 52.20 in the 400 trials in the Under-20 Championships and she followed that with a 52.54 in the final. She ran 52.21 on Saturday, beating the field in Eugene by eight nmeters. Sophia Castaneda, from Newberg, Ore., who has run 52.17, was 2^nd in 53.25.

With her win on Saturday, Dumas will represent the U.S. in the 40-meter hurdles at the World Under-20 Championships on the same track in Eugene, Ore., in August. The 52.20 and 52.21 races could help her get into the relay pool for the U.S. 4-by-4 team at Worlds.

Winslow senior Ma’Syiah Brawner and Williamstown junior Timia Waters both earned All-America honors in the triple jump Saturday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Brawner jumped 41-1 ¾ with an assisting wind of 2.7 meters per second. She also had a wind-aided 40-7 ½ and a legal 39-3. Brawner has a lifetime best of 40-6 ¼ with a legal 0.8 wind at 2024 West Philly Nationals. That’s No. 15 in state history, No. 4 in South Jersey history and a Camden County record.

Waters jumped a lifetime-best 40-3 ¼ with a legal 0.1 tailwind, her first 40-foot jump. Waters, whose previous PR was 39-6 when she won the state Group 4 title last month in Somerset, broke the Gloucester County record of 39-7 ½ set at the 2012 state Group 1 meet at Old Bridge by Glassboro’s Zenee Gadson.

Brawner hit 40-7 ½ on her first jump with a 2.3 wind, then had a legal 39-3 and a foul before popping the 41-1 ¾. She fouled on her two final jumps.

Waters opened with her PR 40-3 ¼ and after a foul jumped 37-3 ¾, 38-7, 39-6 ¾ and 38-8 ¼.

Winslow’s Jasmine Jackson shattered her own South Jersey record and state sophomore record Saturday in leading all qualifiers into the 100-meter hurdles final at West Philly Nationals.

Jackson ran 13.24, lowering her PR and South Jersey record from 13.28 from the Meet of Champions earlier this month at Pennsauken. She raced with a legal 0.6 meters-per-second tailwind.

Her time is 2^nd-fastest ever by a U.S. high school sophomore, behind only a 13.01 by Tia Jones of Walton High in Washington, D.C., at the 2017 Pan Am Junior Championships in Trujillo, Peru.

It’s 3^rd-fastest in New Jersey history and only 6-100ths of a second off the state record of 13.18 set last year at the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken. Former Neptune star Dawn Bowles is No. 2 on the all-time state list with her 13.20 at the 1985 Golden West Invitational in Sacramento, Calif.

Her time is also 5^th-fastest ever by a New Jersey resident behind 2019 World Champion Nia Ali of Pleasantville [12.34 in Doha, Qatar, in 2019], Bowles [12.76 in Nassau, Bahamas, in 1996], Eastern’s Jailya Ash [13.08 in Fayetteville last month], Winslow’s Tionna Tobias [13.11 in Bloomington, Ind., in 2023] and Pennsville’s Arianna Smith [13.19 last May in Norfolk, Va.].

Atlantic County Tech junior Brianna Growalt also qualified for the final with a legal 13.79. She was 7^th-fastest in the trials. Growalt ran a wind-aided PR 13.59 in the first round. Her legal PR is 13.62 from the Meet of Champions, where she was 2^nd to Jackson.

The final is scheduled for 11:43 a.m. Sunday.

Sianni Wynn advanced to the 200 final with the 2^nd-fastest qualifying time and two hours later led Pennsauken to the 2^nd-fastest 400-meter relay qualifying time Saturday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Wynn, already a double national champion after winning the 100 and anchoring Pennsauken’s winning 800-meter relay team, ran 23.32 with a legal 0.1 headwind. The only faster qualifier for the final was Venessa Waite of Lake Minneola High in Minneola, Fla., who ran 23.20.

Wynn has a PR of 23.03 from the Camden County Championships at Haddon Township last month and Waite has a 23.17 PR from her win in the Florida championships last month in Jacksonville.

The final is scheduled for 3:44 p.m. Sunday.

Wynn then anchored Pennsauken to a 45.89 in the 400-meter relay trials. Only Bullis High of Potomac, Md., ran faster in qualifying with a 45.81. Pennsauken has run 45.30 this year on the same track at the Penn Relays. Bullis has run 44.82 in Arcadia, Calif.

Junior Summer Schaffer and senior cousins Sanaya and Olivia Dupree ran the first three legs for Pennsauken.

The 400-meter relay final is scheduled for 1:36 p.m. Sunday.

Winslow also qualified for the 4-by-100 final despite not using its two-fastest 100-meter dash runners. Junior Jordyn Cato, junior Skhye Seamon, senior Leeya Joseph and junior Amaya Jones ran 46.74 to secure the 8^th and final qualifying spot.

Olivia Okaro [11.93] and Jasmine Jackson [12.00] are Winslow’s fastest 100-meter dash runners this year.

Remarkable Egypt Bolan won her 2^nd consecutive national high jump title Saturday at West Philly Nationals at Franklin Field.

Bolan cleared 5-9 ¾ on her 2^nd attempt to take command of the event. There were four other girls who had cleared 5-8 ½. But all four missed three chances at 5-9 ¾, and when the last one, freshman Jala Webster-Jackson of Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte, N.C., missed her final attempt Bolan had clinched another national title.

Bolan finished by taking three jumps at a PR 5-11 ¼. Her PR is 5-11 ¾ from her win at last year’s national meet, a South Jersey record and No. 3 in New Jersey history. Her 5-10 ¼

Bolan passed at the opening height of 5-3 before entering the competition and clearing 5-4 ½, 5-6 ¼ and 5-7 ¼ on her 1^st attempts. She was one of only three girls who was clean through 5-7 ¼.

She got over the bar at 5-8 ½ on her 2^nd attempt, which dropped her behind Webster-Jackson, who was clean through 5-8 ½. But when she cleared 5-9 ¼ and nobody else could, it was over. With the title secured, she cleared 5-10 ½ on her 3^rd attempt.

Bolan is a four-time Meet of Champions winner – 2025 and 2026 indoors and outdoors – and she won last year’s West Philly Nationals with her PR 5-10 ¾. She was also 3^rd at Boston Nationals indoors with a 5-8 ¾

Winslow sophomore Jasmine Jackson and Atlantic County Tech junior Brianna Growalt were among the top qualifiers in the first round of the 100-meter hurdles Saturday at West Philly Nationals in Franklin Field.

Jackson ran 13.48 and was the 2^nd-fastest qualifier for the semifinals on Sunday, and Growalt ran 13.59 and was 4^th-fastest. Jackson’s time in the second heat was legal with a 0.2 headwind. Growalt’s 13.59 in the sixth heat was wind-aided at 2.2.

The 24-fastest in the first round advance to the semifinals at 4:19 p.m. Saturday. The final is scheduled for 11:43 a.m. Sunday.

Jackson set the South Jersey record of 13.28 with legal wind when she won the Meet of Champions at Pennsauken earlier this month. Growalt’s 13.59 is her fastest time, although her wind-legal PR remains 13.62 from the Meet of Champions.

Growalt already earned All-America honors this week with a 5^th place in the 400-meter hurdles in 59.97.

Jackson and Growalt are No. 3 and No. 8 in New Jersey history and No. 1 and 2 all-time South Jersey.

Clayton graduate and Alabama rising sophomore Alexander Osayemi ran a 400 PR and placed 4^th at U.S. Under-20 Nationals Friday night at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Osayemi dropped his PR from 45.59, which he ran in the SEC prelims last month in Auburn, Ala., to 45.46 and with a top-four place qualified for consideration for 4-by-4 duty on the U.S. National team that will compete at the World Under-20 Championships back at Hayward Field in August.

Osayemi’s 45.46 moved him up from 5^th to 4^th on the all-time South Jersey alumni list. He trails only Olympic gold medalists Lamont Smith [44.30] and Dennis Mitchell [45.26] as well as Gabriel Moronta [45.01], who just won the Dominican national title over 400 meters.

With his 45.46, Osayemi passed Darrell Bush of Woodbury, who ran 45.49 in Tucson in 2015, and became the fastest quarter-miler ever from Gloucester County.

Natalie Dumas became the first South Jersey woman in 40 years to win a national Under-20 championship on Friday when she out-raced a loaded field in the 400-meter hurdles at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.

Dumas ran 56.13 – just 14-100ths of a second off her PR of 55.99 from last year’s West Philly Nationals – and finished eight meters in front of 2^nd-place Tatum Lynn, a Big Ten medalist this past spring as an Ohio State freshman.

Lynn went into the race as the top-ranked Under-20 intermediate hurdler in the world with her 56.57 at the NCAA East Region Prelims in Lexington, Ky., last month.

With her top-two finish along with the world Under-20 championships standard of 1:00.75, Dumas will represent the U.S. at the World Under-20 Championships back at Hayward Field Aug. 5-9.

The Under-20 Championships, first held in 1972, were known as the U.S. Junior Championships through 2017. The meet is open to athletes who are 19 or younger on New Year’s Eve.

Dumas’s time ranks 27^th among all U.S. women this year and she bumps Lynn as the fastest Under-20 intermediate hurdler in the world.

Dumas is the first South Jersey woman to win a U.S. junior title since Kingsway sprinter Denise Liles won the 100 at the 1984 meet at L.A. Coliseum in 11.84.

She’s the 4^th New Jersey woman to win an Under-20 title in the 400-meter hurdles, following Tracy Nelson of Plainfield in 1980 and 1981, Tawana Watkins of Paterson Kennedy in 2003 and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin in 2016.

Curtis Thompson recorded his best throw this year, the 3^rd-best throw in the world this year and his 6^th-best throw ever Friday at the Doha Diamond League meet at Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium in Qatar.

Thompson, a 2014 Florence graduate and five-time U.S. champion, hit 282-1 on his 1^st throw of the competition. It’s the fourth straight meet that he’s had his best throw on his 1^st throw. It’s his best 1^st throw since a 284-4 at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo.

Thompson finished 3^rd, behind World Championship finalist Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage of Sri Lanka [290-11] and two-time world champion and 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Andersen Peters of Grenada [283-4]. Thompson and Peters were teammates at Mississippi State.

Neeraj Chopra of India was 4th with a 281-1. This was Thompson’s 3rd career win over the 2021 Olympic gold medalist.

Thompson, a two-time Olympian and 2025 World Championships bronze medalist, ranks 3rd in U.S. history with his PR 287-11 at last year’s Texas Relays in Austin. That’s the best throw by an American since Breaux Greer’s 299-6 in Indianapolis in 2007.
