From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Highland’s Floyd Whitaker advanced to the NCAA Championships with a clutch final-jump PR in the triple jump Friday.

Whitaker, a senior at Oklahoma, jumped 53-4 ½ on his 3^rd and final attempt at the NCAA West Prelims at Bryan Stadium in College Station, Texas.

That ranks him 13^th among U.S. men this year, according to the World Athletics database.

Whitaker needed to jump 52-1 ½ to make his way into the top 12 who advanced to next month’s NCAA Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. His first two jumps were 51-0 ¼ and 51-5. But he increased his PR from 53-1 ½ from two weeks ago in Lexington, Ky., to 53-4 ½ and finished as the 5^th qualifier out of the West Regional.

Only one jumper in the East Regional in Jacksonville on Friday surpassed Whitaker’s 53-4 ½, which means he goes into Eugene as the No. 6 seed. That jumper was Theophilus Mudzengere of South Carolina, who jumped 53-9.

Whitaker will compete in the NCAA triple jump final at Hayward Field at 5:10 p.m., Friday, June 13. He’s now within two inches of the South Jersey alumni record of 53-6 ½ set by Shawnee graduate Greg Foster in Flagstaff, Ariz., on May 14, 1988. Foster’s son Greg, a junior at Princeton, will also be in Eugene competing in the long jump after placing 4^th in East Regionals on Wednesday.

Whitaker is now 5^th on the all-time New Jersey alumni list. The record is 54-9 ½ by East Orange’s Norm Tate in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1970. Tate, an Olympian and three-time U.S. champion, is now an assistant coach at Rowan.

Whitaker, who began his college career at Minnesota, placed 9^th in the indoor triple jump in March in Virginia Beach with a 52-2.

Senior Nester Wea smashed the meet record in the 100-meter dash to lead Willingboro’s Day 1 performance at the state Group 2 meet at South Plainfield.

Willingboro leads Rumson-Fair Haven 28 1/2 -28 with Haddonfield 3^rd [16] going into Day 2 on Sunday.

Wea won the 100 in a wind-legal 11.62, 8^th-fastest in South Jersey history and 3^rd-fastest by a Burlington County girl, behind Willingboro’s Michelle Glover [11.42 in 1981] and Moorestown’s Amandi Rhett [11.61 in 2000].

Wea broke the state Group 2 meet record of 11.75 set by Parsippany’s Bria Saunders at the 2014 state meet at Egg Harbor.

On Saturday, Wea will race the 200, 400 and 100-meter hurdles.

Sophomore Maya Bolden and junior Kaila Speight also scored in the 100, Bolden taking 3^rd in 12.19 and Speight tying for 6^th in 12.34. And senior Sunny Oyibo took 3^rd in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:04.33.

Willingboro’s 4-by-1 placed 3^rd without Wea, with junior Jaden Murry, Speight, sophomore Jade Pinder and sophomore Trinity Brapoh running 48.28.

Pleasantville’s Gabriel Moronta raced into the NCAA Championships 400-meter dash semifinals with a big PR, the 2^nd-fastest time in the NCAA East Prelims and the 4^th-fastest time ever recorded by a New Jersey high school alum.

Moronta ran 45.01 and won the 2^nd of three semifinals at Hodges Stadium at North Florida University in Jacksonville, advancing automatically to the NCAS semis at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., next month.

Alabama’s Samuel Ogazi, 2^nd at NCAAs last year in Eugene, led all qualifiers in Jacksonville with a lifetime-best 44.43, and Moronta placed 2^nd. The fastest time in the West Prelims was 45.32, so Moronta goes into Eugene as the 2^nd-fastest in the field.

The top 12 from each of the two regions – East in Jacksonville, West in College Station – advance to the NCAA semis. The top three in each heat and the next three-fastest form that top 12.

Moronta lowered his PR and school record from 45.31, which he ran last month in Gainesville. The only New Jersey quarter-milers to run faster are Olympic gold medalists Andrew Valmon of Manchester Township [44.28 in 1993] and Lamont Smith of Willingboro [44.30 in Atlanta in 1996] and Najee Glass of St. Peter’s Prep [44.79 in Gainesville in 2015].

His time is 15^th-fastest among U.S. men this year and No. 35 in the world.

The NCAA semis are scheduled for 5:41 p.m. Wednesday, June 11, at Hayward Field, with the finals following at 6:02 p.m. June 13.

44.28 … Andrew Valmon [Manchester Twp.], June 19, 1993, Eugene

Clayton senior Alex Osayemi ran the 6^th-fastest 400-meter hurdles time in Gloucester County and smashed the state Group 1 meet record Friday at Somerset.

Osayemi won the intermediates in 52.79, breaking the meet record of 53.17 set by legendary Fred Sharpe as part of his historic quad win at the 1997 meet at South Plainfield.

His time is fastest by any New Jersey Group 1 runner in 12 years, since Hopatcong’s Dylan Capwell ran 52.43 at the 2013 Meet of Champions, also at South Plainfield.

Osayemi is only the 2^nd Clayton boy to ever win an individual state title on the track. In 2019, Thomas Hampton won the Group 1 100 and 200.

The only faster times in the six state meets were turned in by Toms River North teammates Camryn Thomas and Mamadi Diawara in the state Group 4 meet, also at Somerest. Thomas ran 52.08 and Diawara 52.34. So Osayemi will be the No. 3 seed at the Meet of Champions Wednesday at Pennsauken.

The only faster Group 1 time in South Jersey history is Sharpe’s 51.62 at the 1997 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield.

Osayemi is already the fastest Group 1 runner in New Jersey in the 200 [21.67w] and 400 [46.60], which he’ll contest on Saturday.

Pennsauken’s Bryce Tucker ran a 400-meter hurdles PR for the 2nd time in three days and advanced to the NCAA Championship semifinals next month at Hayward Field.

Tucker, a Rutgers sophomore, ran 50.00 Friday and finished 2nd in the 2nd of three semifinal races in the NCAA East Prelims at Hodges Stadium on the North Florida campus in Jacksonville.

Tucker had a PR of 50.61 until he ran 50.52 in the first round at East prelims on Wednesday. That advanced him to the quarterfinals, where his 50.00 was 8th-fastest and earned him an auto qualifier to Eugene as one of the top three placers in his heat.

His time is 4th-fastest ever by a South Jersey intermediate hurdler, behind Winslow’s Reuben McCoy [48.37 in Eugene in 2008], Paulsboro’s Fred Sharpe [48.86 in Knoxville in 2003] and Camden’s Dwight Ruff [49.50 in Sacramento in 2003].

He ran within 18-100ths of a second of the school record of 49.82 s4et at the 2022 NCAA East Prelims in Bloomington, Ind., by Hunterdon Central’s Jameson Woodell.

His time is 27th among U.S. men this year.

Next for Tucker is the NCAA Championships semifinals in Eugene, scheduled for 5:41 p.m. on June 11, with the final following at 6:27 p.m. on June 13.

Glassboro and Camden are locked in a tight battle at the state Group 1 meet, with Hasbrouck Heights still within range.

After Day 1 at Somerset, Glassboro leads Camden, 31 ½-30, and Hasbrouck Heights has 24 points.

Camden got an early win in the 400-meter relay, with juniors Christian Braxton, Jaiden Steele, Chase Robinson and Wasi Muhammad running 42.50. Glassboro was 4th in 42.94, with sophomore Adekunle Adeleye, sophomore Ta’sheem Butler, junior Amari Sabb and sophomore Xavier Sabb. Camden won the Group 2 state title last year in the 4-by-1 with four underclassmen but only Steele remaining from that lineup.

Camden also got a win from Steele in the 100 with a wind-legal 10.86. Glassboro picked up six points in the 100 with Xavier Sabb’s 3rd-place in 10.96.

Glassboro and Camden both scored in the long jump, Adeleye taking 2nd at 21-11
and Muhammad 3rd with a 21-4 ¾. Camden’s Robinson ran 55.06 for 4th place in the intermediate hurdles.

Glassboro freshman Joseph Saicic took 2nd in the 3,200 with a 9:39.38 and the Bulldogs went 4-5 in the high jump with Xavier Sabb clearing 6-2 and Amari Sabb 6-0.

There are finals on Saturday in the 200, 400, 1,600, high hurdles, 4-by-4 and 4-by-8, discus, triple jump and pole vault.

Junior Ma’Syiah Brawner, sophomore Cinniya Robinson and the 400-meter relay team picked up wins as the mighty Winslow girls piled up 54 points on Day 1 of the state Group 3 Championships at South Plainfield.

With scoring opportunities remaining Saturday in the 200 and 400, high hurdles, 1,600-meter relay, 3,200-meter relay, shot, long jump and high jump, Winslow has a chance at the Group 3 scoring record of 115 points that Winslow set in 2013.

After Day 1, Winslow leads Ocean City 54-20, with Moorestown and Northern Burlington tied for 4th with 12 points each.

Brawner won the triple jump with a legal 40-3 – unbelievably, no field series information provided in the results – her best mark this year and only 3 ¼ inches off her PR of 40-6 ¼ from last year’s West Philly Nationals. This was her 5th lifetime state title.

Sophomore Cinniya Robinson and freshman Jasmine Jackson went 1-2 in the 400-meter hurdles, Robinson running a PR 1:01.01 and Jackson a PR 1:01.08.

Winslow’s 400-meter relay team of freshman Amariah Arango, sophomore Skyhe Seamon, junior Chantina Walker and junior Leeya Joseph ran 47.89 to open the scoring Friday.

Junior Olivia Okaro placed 2nd in the 100 in 12.18 with legal wind, behind only Timber Creek’s Ryan Jennings. And senior Brook-lynn Roberts took 2nd in the discus with a 134-5 mark.

Jennings won the 100 in 11.45 with a legal tailwind of 0.9 meters per second, breaking the Group 3 meet record of 11.61 set in 2007 at South Plainfield by Lakewood’s Shavon Greaves. (The official “meet program” lists Greaves’ record as 10.62 in 2023. The NJSAA is such a joke when it comes to this stuff. They just don’t care about getting anything right. Greaves was born on Dec. 20, 1988, so she would have been 32 in 2023.)

Junior Quayd Hendryx and the Burlington Township boys ran the fastest 400-meter relay in New Jersey state championship history Friday at the Group 3 meet in South Plainfield.

Junior Solomon Wesley, junior Gemaus Sackie, senior Yeator Tappia and Hendryx ran a sizzling 41.30 to win the 4-by-1 with the 7th-fastest time in state history.

The Falcons broke the state Group 3 meet record of 41.71 at in 2017 by Deptford and the overall state meet record of 41.46 set in 2016 by Franklin Township. They broke the Burlington County record of 41.69 set in 1982 by Willingboro when the Chimeras placed 2nd to Calabar of Jamaica in the Championship of America race at the Penn Relays.

Before this year, Burlington Township’s school record was 42.60, set by Anthony Salley, David Slaton, Koree Dusenbury and Vinny Pini at the 2010 Woodbury Relays. But they broke that with a 42.39 at a Pennsauken batch meet in April before a 42.30 at the Burlington County Open at Lenape earlier this month.

So they broke the school record by exactly one second. This is the first time Township has ever won the 400-meter relay at states.

Hendryx came back to win the 100 in with a PR 10.71 with legal wind. He’s the first Burlington Township sprinter to win a state title since Louis Smith won the 200 in 2006, the 100 in 2007 and the 100 and 200 in 2008, all in Group 1.

Eastern junior Natalie Dumas, already one of the fastest intermediate hurdlers in the country, shaved more than a second off her PR Friday at the state Group 4 meet in Somerset.

Dumas won the race in 57.30, the 21^st-fastest time in U.S. scholastic track history and fastest time in the country this year.

Her previous PR was a 58.32 when she won West Philly Nationals last June at Franklin Field. Her time is 3^rd-fastest in New Jersey history, behind only four-time Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin [53.82 at 2017 U.S. Championships in Sacramento] and Winslow’s Krystal Cantey [56.83 in 2005 in Greensboro, N.C.]

Dumas, who tied the state 400 record of 51.87 last weekend – 20^th-fastest in U.S. history – is now 34^th-fastest U.S. woman this year and 5^th-fastest in the world on the 2025 Under-20 list.

She broke the Group 4 meet record of 59.66 set in 1997 by Shawnee’s Mandie Dulin in South Plainfield and she broke the overall public school state championship meet record of 58.95 set in 2018 by Reanda Richards of West Essex in the Group 3 meet at Central Regional in Berkeley Township.

Her time is 7th-fastest ever by a South Jersey native. Top-10 list below.

Earlier in the day, Dumas PR’d when she won the 800 with a 2:10.44, 7^th-fastest in South Jersey history.

Fresno State senior Jewel Ash advanced to the quarterfinals of the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Championships Thursday night with a 2^nd-place finish in her heat at the NCAA West Prelims.

She advanced to the national quarterfinals, scheduled for 7:25 p.m. Saturday back in College Station, Texas. The top 12 from those three races – the top three from each heat and the next three-fastest – advance to the NCAA semifinals at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.,

Ash ran 57.46 – her fastest time in three years – and placed 2^nd in the 5^th of six heats, advancing automatically with a top-three finish.

Overall, her time was 13^th-fastest in the field of 48 intermediate hurdlers. Everyone who ran 58.66 or faster advanced.

Ash ran her PR 57.16 at the 2022 Big South Conference Championships in High Point, N.C., as a sophomore at Charleston Southern. She re-surfaced at Fresno State in January and ran a flat 400 PR of 53.95 indoors in Albuquerque. She won the Mountain West 400 hurdles in 57.63 two weeks ago, and that was her fastest time as a Fresno State Bulldog until Thursday evening.

Fresno State has the worst athletics web site I’ve ever seen and I had no luck finding an all-time top-10 list or even a list of school records.

But from TFRRS we can say that Ash’s 57.46 is the fastest time by a Fresno State intermediate hurdler since at least 2009, or as far back as the TFRRS data base goes. And I’m willing to say there’s a very good chance that is the school record. But there’s no way to know for sure.

Earlier in the day, Duke’s Aliya Garozzo from Paul VI and Howard’s Arianna Smith from Pennsville advanced to the 400-meter hurdles quarterfinals at the NCAA East Prelims Thursday in Jacksonville.

With Garozzo running 56.16, Smith 57.11 and Ash 57.46, all three not only advanced to their respective quarterfinals, they all ran their 2^nd-fastest time ever.

Garozzo, Smith and Ash posted the 4th-, 14th- and 26th-fastest times of the combined NCAA East and West Prelims.

Garozzo, Smith and Ash are now No. 1, 3 and 6 in South Jersey history. Here’s a look at the all-time South Jersey 400-meter hurdles all-time top-10:
