From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Add Brenna Smith to the ever-growing list of elite women javelin throwers from South Jersey.

Smith, a 2014 Haddon Township graduate and a junior at Liberty, threw a personal-best 158-7 at the Big South Conference Championships in Columbia, S.C., earlier this month to earn a berth at NCAA East Regionals in Lexington, Ky., this weekend.

Smith added nearly 14 feet to her previous PR of 144-11, set at the Gamecock Invitational in Columbia, S.C., in April.

Smith’s PR at Haddon Township was 121-4, so she’s now improved a staggering 37 feet in three years in Lynchburg. Her PR coming into this season was 140-10 from freshman year of college.

Smith is the No. 24 seed in the East going into the NCAA prelims, which begin Thursday in Lexington, Ky.

Incredibly, she’s one of four South Jersey products among the top 24 seeds in the javelin.

Let’s take a look:

Kelly Yanucil (Bordentown), Mount St. Mary’s: Seeded No. 10 with a career-best of 169-9, set at the Penn Relays.

Faith Blamon (Cinnaminson), Monmouth: Blamon is the No. 15 seed with a career-best of 162-7 set at the Metro Atlantic Conference Championships in Lawrenceville.

Katherine Johnston (Haddonfield), Rutgers: Johnston placed second at the Big 10 Championships at Penn State with a career-best 161-1. She’s the No. 18 seed at NCAA prelims.

Brenna Smith (Haddon Twp.), Liberty: Seeded No. 24 with her 158-7.

The javelin is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. Friday. Smith and Johnston throw in the second of three flights, Yanucil and Blamon in the third.

The top 12 throwers out of 48 entrants advance to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore., in June.

Oh, by the way, the men’s javelin is crowded with South Jersey talent, as well! More on that tomorrow!

Bridget Flynn will race in the NCAA East Regionals in the 1,500 after a breakthrough season that saw her lower her PR by more than 10 seconds.

Flynn, a Dartmouth junior from Ocean City, entered her junior year with a 1,500 PR of 4:41.14 from the 2015 Raleigh Relays. But she didn’t run any 1,500s last year, focusing instead on the 800. This year she had a breakthrough at the Raleigh Relays, where she ran 4:28.97 in the trials (she didn’t run the final) in addition to an outdoor-PR 2:10.36 in the 800.

At the Virginia Challenge in Charlottesville, Va., she lowered that 4:28 to 4:25.28 and then two weekends ago, at the New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association meet in Williamstown, Mass., she locked up with Shannon Murdock of New Hampshire and both went under 4:25, Murdock winning in 4:24.16 and Flynn recording another PR of 4:24.60, No. 10 in Dartmouth history.

That’s the rough equivalent of a 4:45 mile.

Flynn is in the first of four 1,500-meter heats at the NCAA prelims at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Lexington, Ky. The regional final — which is also the NCAA quarterfinal — is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

The top five from each of five heats plus the next four-fastest times from Thursday’s races advance to Saturday, where the top five from each quarterfinal plus the next two-fastest times will advance to Eugene.

Flynn’s high school PR was 4:54.88 for 1,600 meters, so she’s improved a whopping 12 seconds since arriving in Hanover.

 

North Carolina State junior Erika Kemp of North Carolina State begins her quest for a third All-America honor when she races in the 5,000 and 10,000 at the NCAA East Regional prelims in Lexington, Ky., this weekend.

Kemp was a double All-America at last year’s indoor NCAA meet, placing fifth in the 5,000 and 11th in the 3,000.

Kemp, a state Group 4 3,200 champ at Rancocas Valley, ran a personal-best 15:41.23 her last time out in the 5,000, winning a meet at the University of Virginia last month. Her previous 5,000 PR was 15:45.46 indoors at Boston University in December of 2015. That is also the North Carolina State school record.

Kemp is ranked No. 5 in NCAA Division 1 and No. 2 among all U.S. women at 5,000 meters. She’s No. 2 in the East Regional, behind Allie Buchalski of Furman, who ran 15:35.55 at the Raleigh Relays in late March.

In the 10,000, Kemp has a PR of 33:13.34 from the 2015 Stanford Invitational. She’s only  run one 10,000 this year and went 33:36.26, also at the Raleigh Relays.

Kemp ranks No. 2 in N.C. State history in the 5,000, behind only Betty Springs, who ran 15:33.43 in 1983. Julie Shea ran 15:41.28 in 1980, so Kemp edged her out for the No. 2 spot bye 5-100ths of a second.

Qualifiers out of the East and West regions advance to the NCAA Championships scheduled for June 7-10 at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Kemp is in the first of two 5,000 heats, scheduled for 5:25 p.m. Saturday. The top five from each race plus the next-best two times will advance to Eugene.

The 10,000 is a one-section race slated for 7:08 p.m. Thursday, with the first 12 across the line advancing to nationals.

Maple Shade senior Kenneth Karcher out-ran a loaded field to win the 400-meter dash at Saturday’s 79th annual Burlington County Open at Rancocas Valley.

And he did it in style.

Karcher lowered his PR and school record from 49.07 to 48.56 in edging Brian Merriman of R.V. (49.26) and Jalen Jones of Burlington Township (49.90) to the finish line.

That’s fastest by any New Jersey Group 1 runner this year and fastest by a New Jersey Group 1 runner since 2014, when both Phillip Gomez of Glen Ridge (47.98) and Jaymes Dennison of Penns Grove (48.33) did it.

It’s second-fastest all-time by a Burlington County Group 1 runner, behind only Keith Griffith of Florence, who ran 47.64 in 2010.

Karcher’s time is fifth-fastest in meet history and fastest in 17 years! Since Mohamad Kanu ran 48.47 back in 2000 for Lenape.

Here’s the all-time Open 400-meter dash performance list:

47.2h … Darron Outler (Lenape), 1984
47.3h … Rob Gary (Lenape), 1998
47.9y … Eric Rucker (Willingboro), 1977
48.47 … Mohamad Kanu (Lenape), 2000
48.56 … Kenneth Karcher (Maple Shade), 2017
48.4h … Barry Douglas (Willingboro), 1993
48.4y … Bill Tyler (Kennedy), 1976
48.66 … Keith Griffith (Florence), 2009
48.74 … Michael Bolling (Willingboro), 2000
48.5h … Mike Williams (Willingboro), 1985
48.6h … Jeff Bradford (Willingboro), 1982
48.6h … Charles Simpson (Lenape), 1993
48.70 … Kenny Brosier (Willingboro), 2015
48.71 … Phil Reid (Rancocas Valley), 2006

Karcher, who is headed to Monmouth next year, also won the 200. He’s only the second Maple Shade runner to double in County Open history. Robert Jones won the 100 and 200 in both 2013 and 2014 (and the 100 in 2012).

Overall, Karcher is No. 11 in New Jersey this year and No. 2 in South Jersey, behind only Egg Harbor Township’s Alex Dessoye, who ran 48.44 at the South Jersey Invitational.

Karcher’s previous PR was 49.07, also at the South Jersey Invitational. His time is No. 12 in Burlington County history.

Previous Maple Shade school record was 51.63 by Malcolm Jenkins at the 2012 BCSL meet.

Clemson junior Torie Robinson ran huge PRs of 11.31 and 23.53 in the 100 and 200 at the ACC Championships at Georgia Tech.

Robinson placed second in the 100 and fifth in the 200, accounting for 10 team points for Clemson.

In the 100, Robinson ran a PR 11.31 in the trials for the third-fastest qualifying time, then improved to second in the final although with a slightly slower time of 11.43.

Robinson, a former Meet of Champions winner at Winslow Township, had a previous 100 PR of 11.46 from the Penn Relays. Her fastest time coming into this season was an 11.77 at last year’s ACC meet.

In the 200, Robison ran a PR 23.59 in the trials and lowered the to 23.53 in the final. Her previous PR was 23.61 in a meet last month at LSU. Coming into the season, her 200 PR was a 24.13 indoors at the ACC indoor championships at South Bend this past winter and her outdoor PR was a 24.56 in a meet at Auburn last spring.

Robinson also anchored Clemson’s second-place 400-meter relay team, which ran 43.64, so she had a hand in 18 of Clemson’s 95 points in the meet. Clemson placed fourth but only 29 points behind first-place Virginia Tech.

Robinson had PRs of 11.73 and 24.57 at Winslow, where she was a three-time Meet of Champions winner.

Her best event in high school was the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, where she ran 59.56 in 2013 — sixth-fastest in the U.S. She was third in the ACC last year in the intermediates but hasn’t run it this year.

Robinson now ranks 26th in NCAA Division 1 in the 100. Clemson’s 4-by-100 ranks No. 21.

 

Rancocas Valley’s combined program put on quite a show Saturday at the 79th annual Burlington County Open on RV’s home track in Mount Holly.

Egg Harbor is the top-ranked boys team in South Jersey, and Winslow is the top-ranked girls program, but R.V. is ranked No. 2 in both polls, the only program ranked in the top six for both boys and girls.

On Saturday, the Rancocas Valley boys and girls made a case that the 81-year-old Mount Holly school has the strongest overall program in the region.

The boys won their 13th meet since 1952 and fourth in a row, and the girls won their first in program history.

The girls’ best previous finish was second place in 1989, 2011 and 2016. The R.V. girls became the first school from outside the Lenape district to win the County Open girls meet since Willingboro in 2006.

The boys scored a meet-record 152 1/2 points and beat second-place Willingboro by 82 points. The girls scored 134 points in a close 13-point win over Lenape.

RV’s combined 286 1/2 points is more than 100 more than any other school scored Saturday. Combining girls and boys, Lenape was second with 161.

It’s also the most combined points by any program ever, 14 1/2 more than Willingboro scored in 2004, when the Chimera boys won with 125 points and the girls won with 147.

With 121 points, the Lenape girls actually had the 12th-highest point total in meet history and the highest non-winning point total.

The Red Devils boys broke the meet scoring record of 139 set by last year’s R.V. team. With 134 points, the girls scored the sixth-most points in meet history.

Rancocas Valley’s 82-point margin of victory is another record. The previous largest margin of victory was 81 points, set back in 2003, when Willingboro outscored Holy Cros and Cinnaminson 131-50.

There are 18 events in the County Open, so 152 1/2 total points means the R.V. boys averaged 8.5 points per event. The Red Devils scored in 16 of the 18 events — all but the 1,600 and pole vault.

The girls averaged 7.4 points per event and scored in all but the 3,200 and pole vault.

Combined, Rancocas Valley scored in 32 of 36 events, averaging 8.0 points per event.

RV’s four-year winning streak matches the sixth-longest in meet history:

16 … Willingboro [1976-1991]
10 … Palmyra [1941-50]
7 … Willingboro [1999-05]
5 … Rancocas Valley [1967-71]
5 … Moorestown [1933-37
4 … Rancocas Valley [2014-17]
4 … Palmyra [1953-56]

Top point scorers for the RV boys were Maurice Johnson (first in discus, third in shot), Hawkins (second in intermediates, third in 100), Hills (second in both), Liam Alderman (third in long jump, sixth in highs, fourth in triple jump), Nick Mirabelli (javelin win, sixth in discus), Iverson Clement (22-0 win in the long jump) and Merriman (second in 400, fifth in 200).

Ameenah Saalih (win in triple jump), second in long jump, fourth in 200), Sydne Nance (second in 100, third in high jump, fifth in 400), Foering (javelin win, fourth in discus), Steff (second in, third in shot), Jonise Ledbetter (100 win, sixth in 400) and M. McClenahan (third in intermediates, fourth in highs).

R.V. also won all three relays, with Ledbetter and Kharonay Brown running on two of the three teams for the Red Devil girls.

Rowan junior Anthony Salemo lowered his 400-meter intermediate hurdles PR from 52.00 to 51.33, the fastest time this year in NCAA Division 3.

Salemo’s time is just 8-100ths off the Rowan school record of 51.25 set in 2012 by Demetrius Rooks from Absegami.

Salemo, a graduate of Ramsey High School, turned in the time at the Oneonta (N.Y.) Final Qualifier at SUNY Oneonta.

It was quite a race between Salemo and Peter Girardi of St. John Fisher, who finished second in 51.34 — 1-100th of a second behind Salemo. Girardi was second at Division 3 nationals last year in 50.88 and was the top underclassman. Salemo was eighth in that race.

Salemo and Girardi are now the only two Division 3 runners who’ve gone faster than 51.78 this year.

Salemo had just run the 52.00 PR a few days earlier in a last-chance meet at Swarthmore. As a matter of fact, he’s now PR’d four times since April 21, when he tied his PR of 52.71 originally set at last year’s NJAC meet:

52.71 … Morgan State Legacy Meet [April 21]
52.29 … Penn Relays [April 27]
52.00 … Swarthmore Final Qualifier [May 15]
51.33 … Oneonta Final Qualifier [May 17]

Salemo was a Bergen County champion at Ramsey, where his fastest 400IH time was 54.45 at the 2014 state Group 2 meet at Egg Harbor, when he placed second to Raymund Clarke of Abraham Clark.

He’s up to No. 5.

Rancocas Valley junior Nick Mirabelli moved up from No. 11 to No. 5 on the all-time New Jersey javelin performance list Saturday with a tremendous series that included a personal-best 213-5 throw to win the Burlington County Open at R.V.

Mirabelli improved nearly seven feet from his previous PR of 206-8. His series included three legal throws — a personal-best 210-3, then the 213-5, then a 209-6. Those are now the three-best throws of his life.

Mirabelli averaged 211-1 on his three legal throws. The 213-5 is No. 2 in the U.S. this year.

Three of the five 210-foot throwers in New Jersey since the javelin implement was changed to make it softer before the 2002 season are Burlington County throwers — state record holder Curtis Thompson of Florence, last year’s NCAA champion, threw 224-10, and Chris Mirabelli of Holy Cross, Nick’s older brother, threw 216-6. He’s now a two-time Big 10 Conference champ for Rutgers.

Nick is doing so well it’s easy to forget that he had never thrown 180 feet in a major meet until the Moorestown Invitational last month. His PR coming into this season was 176-10 from last year’s state meet.

So he’s now added nearly 37 to his PR since April 8.

Let’s get some lists going! Here’s the all-time Burlington County Open performance list, using only marks since 2002:

222- 8 … Curtis Thompson (Florence), 2014

Finally, this:

The Mirabelli brothers still trail the Zuidema brothers of Midland Park in the sibling category, although they are getting close. Kaleb Zuidema threw 224-1 in 2010 and Seth Zuidema threw 207-7 in 2014 for a family total of 431-8.

Chris and Nick so far have combined to throw 429-11, so they are now less than two feet away from the record.

Nick has the rest of this season and all of next year to add 21 inches to his PR and seize the family record from the Zuidemas.

R.V. scored an insane 152 points and won the team title — it’s fourth in a row — by an equally insane 82 points. More on the team title coming up soon!
