From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Woodbury senior Peyton Shute destroyed the 16-year-old South Jersey record in the mile Friday night in New York.

Shute ran 4:08.28 and placed 5th in the mile at Trials of Miles at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island in Manhattan.

He broke the South Jersey record of 4:08.51 set by Ocean City’s Brett Johnson in West Long Branch in 2008 and broke the Gloucester County record of 4:10.09 set by Kingsway’s Kyle Rakitis at Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Ore., in June 2021.

Shute’s previous mile PR was a 4:11.45 at Boston Indoor Nationals in March. His 4:08.28 converts to 4:06.84 for the more commonly run high school distance of 1,600 meters. There were no 1,600-meter splits taken, but 4:06.84 is also faster than the South Jersey 1,600 record of 4:08.58 set by Rakitis at South Jersey Group 4 sectionals at Washington Township in 2021.

Shute’s time is No. 15 in state history. Full list below.

In a field with some of the fastest milers in the country, Shute was out in 62.76 but ran 60.82 on his 2nd lap to come through the half in 2:03.57. He split 61.74 on his 3rd lap to come through in 3:05.31 and then closed in 62.98. Martin Barco of Martinsville (Ind.) High won the race in 4:02.94.

Cherokee senior Robert Poplau closed in 62.46 to run 4:13.08 and break a 22-year-old Burlington County record. Cherokee’s Marc Pelerin ran 4:13.33 at the 2022 adidas Outdoor Championships in Raleigh, N.C. Poplau’s time is No. 9 in South Jersey history.

(Note that I maintain separate 1,600 and mile lists because they are separate events. The Burlington County 1,600 record is 4:11.15 by Lenape’s Ryan Garvin at the 2009 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield. Poplau’s 4:13.08 converts to 4:11.61 for 1,600 meters. But while you can convert mile times to 1,600 times, you can’t convert up. In other words, you can’t credit a runner for running a distance he didn’t run. So Garvin continues to be considered the Burlington County 1,600 record and Poplau is considered the county record holder in the mile. If we converted all mile times to 1,600, we would lose the rich history of track’s greatest event. So we will always keep separate lists!)

Absegami junior Jaidah Garrett [LJ, TJ, 100]: https://sjtrackblog.com/2024/05/03/absegamis-jaidah-garrett-leaps-to-historic-jumps-double-at-south-jersey-elite/

Absegami junior Jaidah Garrett popped three ridiculous PRs Thursday night at South Jersey Elite at Delsea, winning the long jump and joined a very small group of horizontal jumpers at 18-9 ¼, placing 2nd to Sophia Curtis in the triple jump at 38-6 and running 12.36, the 3rd-fastest time in the 100 trials.

Garrett’s previous PRs were 17-10 ¾, 35-8 and 12.42 – all from last year’s South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Delsea.

Garrett became only the 6th girl in South Jersey history to jump both 18-6 and 38-6. The others are Oakcrest’s Shameka Marshall in 2001 [18-10 ¾, 38-8], Northern Burlington’s Ashley Edwards in 2015 [18-9 ¼, 40-10 ¼], Atlantic City’s Claudine Smith [18-7, 42-2] and Winslow’s Ma’Syiah Brawner both this year [18-10 ¾] and last year [39-5 ½].

In the long jump, Garrett had only three legal attempts, but she surpassed 18 feet on all three – 18-3 ¾ opener, 18-9 ¼ on her 2nd and 18-5 ½ on her 3rd. Moorestown junior I’mara Ford PR’d for 2nd place with a 17-11 on her 2nd jump.

Her 18-9 ¼ is No. 5 in Atlantic County history and the best jump ever by an Atlantic County junior. Smith, now at Rutgers, hit 18-7 at 2018 South Jersey Group 4 sectionals at Washington Township. She’s No. 2 in New Jersey this year, behind Brawner, who jumped 18-10 ¾ at Woodbury last month. She did not jump Thursday.

In the triple jump, Curtis won with a 39-5 on her 3rd jump, but Garrett had two jumps over 38 feet – 38-6 on her first and 38-3 on her 2nd. That 38-6 is No. 10 in South Jersey history and No. 5 in Atlantic County history. It’s No. 2 in New Jersey this year.

In the 100, Garrett placed 3rd in the final in 12.52. Her 12.36 in the trials is No. 4 in New Jersey this year, behind Timber Creek senior Naylah Jones [11.64], Pennsauken sophomore Sianni Wynn [11.65] and Timber Creek junior Ryan Jennings [11.93]. She didn’t quite make the all-time Atlantic County top-10, but she is No. 13 and just 5-100ths outside the all-time top-10.

Winslow Township junior Brook-lynn Roberts moved into the all-time New Jersey top 20 in the discus Thursday night at the South Jersey Elite at Delsea.

Roberts, who came into the day with a lifetime-best 137-0 from her win at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals last June, also at Delsea, hit two of the longest throws in South Jersey history with a 146-11 on her 2nd attempt and then a 147-1 on her final throw.

That’s No. 2 in South Jersey history by an underclassman. Jessica Woodard, 5th in the 2022 World Championships in the shot put, threw 151-10 to win the 2012 Meet of Champions at Old Bridge as a junior at Cherokee.

It’s also No. 2 in Camden County history and the best throw by a Camden County girl in 35 years, since Tisha Kerrin of Eastern threw 153-6 (at a meet that I’ve never been able to identify).

It’s No. 14 among juniors in the U.S. this spring, according to the MileSplit national database. It’s No. 19 in New Jersey history.

Roberts actually tied her PR of 137-0 on her first throw. After her 146-11, she threw 125-3, then fouled, then hit 124-10 before closing with the 147-1.

Roberts moved into No. 7 in South Jersey history with the best throw by a South Jersey girl in 11 years, since Kingsway’s Tara Daniels threw 149-3 at South Jersey Group 3 sectionals at Buena and Woodard 168-10 at USATF Juniors in Des Moines, Iowa.

Roberts also threw a PR 40-3 3/4 to win the shot put. Washington Township junior Ella Kara also hit 40 feet for the first time with a 40-0 for 2nd place.

Glassboro’s Sunsarai Moore and Delsea’s Hannah Nuhfer, the top two sophomores in New Jersey, placed 2nd and 3rd, Moore with a PR 136-11 and Nuhfer PR 130-3.

Moore and Nuhfer are now No. 8 and 10 in Gloucester County history. Moore’s previous PR was 130-4 at the Woodbury Relays two weeks ago, and Nuhfer’s was 115-3 at the Delsea Crusader Field Meet last weekend. They are the No. 1 and 3 sophomores in Gloucester County history. Delsea’s Jen Frank hit 130-11 to win the 2005 South Jersey Group 3 meet at Egg Harbor.

Moore threw 119-8 and fouled on her first two attempts before finishing strong – 136-11, 125-8, 123-8, 130-1. Nuhfer opened with a PR 119-11, then hit 130-3 on her 2nd throw and added a 129-2 on her 3rd.

Delsea senior Morgan Mankoski PR’d at 125-1 for 4th place on her final attempt, and Williamstown senior Iriona Gravley threw 124-1 twice. Mankoski’s previous PR was 118-4 at the Delsea Crusader Field Meet last weekend, and Gravley – a 1st-year thrower – had a PR of 108-7 from Woodbury. She had never reached 90 feet until two weeks ago and now she’s No. 3 in New Jersey Group 4.

Moorestown senior Rece Englehart recorded one of the best horizontal jumps doubles in South Jersey history Thursday night.

Englehart won both the long jump and triple jump at the South Jersey Elite at Delsea with lifetime bests of 23-11 ½ and 47-3. That’s No. 12 in South Jersey history in the long jump and No. 17 in the triple jump.

He becomes only the third South Jersey jumper to jump 23-11 and 47-3. Eastern’s Mikhail Micheaux jumped 24-3 ¾ in 2013 and 47-7 ½ in 2014, and Pennsauken’s Antwan Dickerson jumped 23-6 and 47-3 ¾ in 2013.

Englehart destroyed his previous PRs of 22-7 ½ from indoor Meet of Champions at Ocean Breeze in March and 45-3 ¼ from June 2022 at West Philly Nationals.

He broke a 47-year-old school record in the long jump. Tracey Hall jumped 23-3 ½ to win the South Jersey Group 4 sectionals. Englehart already held the school record in the triple jump.

His jumps are No. 3 in Burlington County history in the triple and No. 6 in the long jump.

Englehart opened with a 23-11 ½ in the long jump and added another 23-foot jump at 23-0 ½ before calling it a day to prepare for the triple. He won by nearly two feet over Riverside senior Jamir Brown, who jumped a PR 22-1 ¼ for second. In the triple, he had three jumps over 45 feet, with a 45-5 ¾ on his 1st attempt and the 47-3 on his 2nd. After two fouls, he finished with a 41-5 ½ and then a 46-5 ½ on his 6th jump.

Six other jumpers surpassed 44 feet. Glassboro senior Cartrell Moore was 2nd with a PR 46-9 on his final attempt, Williamstown senior Gordon Pinnock jumped a PR 45-6 ½ on his 2nd attempt, Moorestown junior Ezra Williams-Thomas hit a PR 45-3 ½ on his 1st jump, Salem junior Devi’Yonn Jackson jumped 44-7 ½ on his 3rd try, Williamstown senior Joseph Pierre-Jacques hit a PR 44-3 ½ on his 2nd jump and Rancocas Valley junior Adris Lewis popped a PR 44-3 ¼ on his first attempt.

Ajani Dwyer finished one of the fastest doubles in state history with a lifetime-best time in the 200 after winning the 100 with the 6th-fastest time in state history Thursday night at the South Jersey Elite at Delsea.

Dwyer, who won the 100 in 10.38, won the 200 in 21.22, with the first 10 finishers all running personal bests. Delsea’s Julian Conigliaro ran 21.63 for 2nd. Both of Dwyer’s races were wind-legal.

Dwyer’s previous outdoor 200 PR was 21.47 at West Philly Nationals in June, but he ran 21.25 indoors at Ocean Breeze this past February, a South Jersey indoor record and No. 5 in state history.

Dwyer’s 21.22 is tied for No. 12 in state history and No. 5 in South Jersey history.

Dwyer is now one of only five sprinters in New Jersey history to run at least 10.40 and 21.25 and only the 3rd to do it at the same meet.

Danny Johnson of Rahway ran 10.30 and 20.93 at the 2001 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield, and Malachi James of Burlington City ran 10.40 and 21.13 at the USATF New York Youth Challenge Series Opener at Icahn Stadium last month.

McNally, coming off her 10:18.93 for 3,200 last month at Holmdel – No. 16 in state history – backed it up with a solo 4:47.95 at Delsea, the fastest 1,600 by a South Jersey girl since Haddonfield’s Briana Gess ran 4:45.97 to win the 2014 Meet of Champions at South Plainfield.

McNally was out in 2:23.31 and already had a 35-meter lead after two laps, She won by 60 meters over Haddonfield senior Ava Thomas, who ran a PR of her own at 5:00.19.

Eastern sophomore Natalie Dumas ran the 5th-fastest intermediate hurdles time in South Jersey history Thursday night and the 3rd-fastest ever by a New Jersey sophomore.

Dumas edged Sophia Curtis of Ocean City – the No. 8 returning underclassman in the U.S. – at the South Jersey Elite at Delsea, Dumas becoming the first New Jersey girl under a minute in six years with a 59.80. Curtis placed 2nd in 1:00.11.

The only sophomores to run faster than Dumas in state history are world record holder and Olympic gold medalist Sydney McLaughlin of Union Catholic [55.28 in 2015] and JFK Paterson’s Tawana Watkins [58.50 in 2000].

Her time is fastest by any South Jersey girl since Winslow Township’s Torie Robinson ran 59.56 to win the 2013 Meet of Champions in South Plainfield.

Dumas’s previous PR was a 1:02.49 when she placed 3rd at last year’s Meet of Champions as a freshman.

Curtis, whose previous PR was 1:00.42 from her win last June at the state Group 3 meet, also at Delsea. Her 1:00.11 broke her own Cape May County record and is No. 6 in South Jersey history.

The anticipated showdown between Malachi James and Ajani Dwyer didn’t materialize Thursday evening, but that didn’t stop Dwyer from running the 6th-fastest 100-meter dash in state history in the trials at the South Jersey Elite at Delsea.

Dwyer, a senior at Washington Towsnhip, ran 10.38 with a legal 2.0 meters-per-second wind, the 3rd-fastest time in South Jersey history and fastest in 14 years.

Dwyer smashed the Gloucester County record of 10.47 set by Glassboro’s James Brown at the 2009 South Jersey Group 1 Sectionals at Egg  Harbor Township.

Teammate Yashahya Brown, who just ran the 4th-fastest hurdles time in state history moments earlier, was the 2nd-fastest qualifier at 10.57. That’s No. 5 in Gloucester County history.

Dwyer’s previous PR was 10.48 at Fast Times at Cherokee earlier this month.

OK, this meet is officially insane. We’ve had two all-time top-10 New Jersey performances and we haven’t even had a final yet!

James, No. 8 in state history with his 10.40 earlier this month, was entered but scratched and is now entered in the Puma East Coast International Showcase, scheduled for Saturday at Prince George’s Sports & Learning Center in Landover, Md.

Dwyer is also entered in the 200, coming up later. The 100 trials was his first race this spring.

Also under 11 seconds were Delsea senior Julian Conigliaro [10.66], Washington Township junior John Santos [10.81], Glassboro senior Brysheen Ferguson [10.87], Oakcrest senior Clayton Husta [10.98] and Rancocas Valley junior David Smith [10.99].

Dwyer broke the meet record of 10.57 set by Timber Creek’s Damiere Byrd in 2010.
