Wolverines Top 15
Woodstown relay finishes 13th at New Balance Nationals, runs personal best
BOSTON – Woodstown’s 4×800 relay team was hoping for a finish that would get them All-American status. The Wolverines didn’t quite get there, although they made a good run at it, but they did run a personal best.
The relay team of Jacob Marino, Karson Chew, David Farrell and Josh Crawford finished 13th out of 104 teams at the New Balance Indoor Nationals here Thursday night, but they ran a PR of 7:55.26.
They were running third overall after finishing second in their heat to Plymouth Whitemarsh, but were bumped down by the final heat. Union Catholic TC won the event in meet record time of 7:35.05, the fastest time in the country this year.
Crawford and Chew return Saturday to run in the boys 800.
Meet of Champions
Woodstown trio focuses on individual specialities at MOC in prep for New Balance Nationals; Crawford finishes third in 800
By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Josh Crawford says he’ll remember his final NJSIAA indoor race for a long time. Not for what didn’t happen, but what did.
The Woodstown senior middle distance specialist ran his final NJSIAA-sanctioned indoor 800 Sunday in the Meet of Champions. He finished third in the race, but closed the gap on race winner Keandre Kelly of Union Catholic to give him confidence for the spring and set his indoor PR with a time of 1:53.30.
“I barely remember the last race, to be honest, but this one I’m going to think about for the rest of my life; this one was fun,” Crawford said. “I knew the guys I was racing against and I like kind of looked towards them as a goal where I should have to be the entire season. So, since I met that goal, it made me with my journey so far.”
For the most part he thought he ran a ”pretty solid” race despite a pace that wasn’t quite his cup of tea. His first 200 was “good” (26.50) and was running second, but then he relaxed on Laps 2 and 3, then the pack went as hard as they could on the bell lap and he finished a second off the lead as Kelly came from third by closing with a 26.95. Crawford’s time was four seconds band 11 places etter than his finish in the MOC last year.
“I think I had more left in the tank at the end,” he said. “But I think I did my job and it showed me I’ve improved since last spring season because last spring season (Kelly) had like a 50-meter gap from me at Meet of Champs, but now I was like right on his heels the entire race. And especially since winter times are usually slower than spring times, it shows I can also have a faster spring time and just see what I can put out there.”
The Wolverines also qualified in the 4×400 and 4×800 relays at the MOC, but passed on those events to focus on their individual specialties and save their legs for next week’s trip to the New Balance Nationals in Boston where they qualified in the 4×8 (Thursday) and Crawford and Karson Chew qualified in the 800 (Friday).
Chew got caught in traffic in his 800 race and finished 25th (2:03.14) and Jacob Marino was 22nd in the 1600 (4:37.80). Marino and David Farrell are also on the 4×8 relay team.
“The race didn’t go very well for me,” Chew said. “I got stuck in boxes wherever I went for the first two laps and wasted my energy trying to bounce in and out of them to find position. It just wasn’t a great day for me.
“Josh did amazingly, though. A second and a half indoor PR is insane as well as placing third at the Meet of Champions.”
The spring season for all the Wolverines under new coach Tom Mason begins Monday.

Hall of Famer Mason returns to the coaching ranks, takes the Woodstown track team for the spring

When Tom Mason coached his last indoor track meet in 2019 to pursue other interests in the sport, he was done with that side of the game unless some “special circumstance” drew him back.
The special circumstance surfaced.
Intrigued by a query from team trainer Dan Evans following a mid-season coaching change, Mason looked into the Woodstown track coach’s position. On Wednesday, the longtime Penns Grove coach and state track official confirmed he was getting back in the game as the Wolverines’ coach for the spring season.
He met with Woodstown athletics director Joe Ursino and then superintendent Chris Meyrick, a former Penns Grove administrator and four-year anchor on Buena’s 4×400 relay that battled Mason’s Penns Grove teams back in the day. He starts Monday, the day after the winter Wolverines return from the indoor Meet of Champions.
“I told them there were two reasons as to why I’m accepting,” Mason said. “One is your senior boys. I just love those senior boys. What great people. You take the running ability aside, they are just outstandingly class people. And my second reason was because of (Meyrick) being the superintendent.
“The Woodstown senior boys and the girls and both teams, to be honest with you, I was very impressed with how they were such class people, especially those seniors, and I did not want those seniors for their last year to have to go through a major change. My thinking is veteran coach comes in, can kind of just guide them and help them to get success.”
Mason brings Hall of Fame credentials to the job. In Mason’s 45-year high school coaching career (126 total seasons) includes 396 wins, four state team titles, six South Jersey sectional titles, 15 Salem County crowns and nearly 70 individual and relay state champions. He was inducted into the Salem County Sports (2011) and New Jersey Scholastic Coaches (2016) hall of fames and recently was approved as the cross-country assistant at Salem Community College.
He’s well aware of the Wolverines’ unparalleled strength in the middle distances, he’d like bring hurdles, sprinters and jumpers into the fold to enhance their depth.
“In Salem County history this group is the best in terms of middle distance,” Mason said. “No school in my memory of Salem County sports has had this many star middle distance runners. It’s unheard of.”
The appointment was met with excitement by the Wolverines.
“I’m very excited for this amazing honor to have a Hall of Fame coach for my final high school season,” said senior 800 specialist Josh Crawford, the anchor on the Wolverines’ decorated 4×800 relay team. “I’ll always appreciate the coaches who helped my team and I find our strides and who shaped us to be ready for this next step.
“I’m honored for what’s ahead and grateful for who got me here. I can’t wait to meet him and I couldn’t be more grateful that he is willing to step up and make our senior year memorable.”
Salem CC adds 4
Mighty Oaks bring in new, familiar faces to join their coaching staffs as assistants

CARNEYS POINT – Salem CC cross country coach Ashley Johnson remembers sharing a bus with Tom Mason when their Pennsville and Penns Grove high school teams competed in the same faraway championship meets. Now, they’re back on the bus together as coaching colleagues.
Mason, longtime Salem County track and cross country coach, has been approved as Johnson’s assistant coach for the coming season.
Call it a double full-circle moment because Mason started the Salem CC cross country program when “I had hair” during the college’s first run sponsoring athletics.
“It is full circle,” he said. “It’s bringing me back, the circle’s complete, but the main I took the job was Ashley, because what a fantastic person she is and what a great experience I had coaching against her. It’s going to be fun to get back to it.”
Mason’s 44-year high school coaching career (126 seasons) includes nearly 400 wins, four state team titles, six South Jersey sectional titles, 15 Salem County crowns and nearly 70 individual and relay state champions. He was inducted into the Salem County Sports (2011) and New Jersey Scholastic Coaches (2016) hall of fames. He also once served on the Salem CC board of trustees and is currently a member of the Pennsville School Board.
On Wednesday, he confirmed his acceptance of the Woodstown High School spring track coaching job, which won’t conflict with the Salem CC post. It’ll give him a chance to impart his wisdom on the Wolverines’ dominant middle distance runners and resume the run for 400 wins (he needs four).
“Coaching in Salem County was one of the best coaching memories I’ve had and the coaching world in Salem County seemed like family,” Johnson said. “Working with the best — Geoff Shute, John Maniglia and Justin Simmons — at Pennsville turned into becoming friendly with Tom … All the coaches I’ve coached with and against became family.
“The best part is when I left I remained in touch with those coaches and seeing them months or even years later we picked up where we left off. Before I took over Salem CC the first person that came to mind was Tom Mason. He started this program, he’s a Salem County and New Jersey legend, and I had to reach out. I am beyond excited to be work with him. We click, he’s got a ton of energy and a very impressive resume.”
And he’s always been there at her biggest moments.
“Tom came to Pennsville when one of our runners was signing to run for him at SCC (in 2019),” Johnson recalled. “I’ll never forget that day because immediately after the signing Geoff Shute and athletic director Adam Slusher drove me home because a few hours later I gave birth to my daughter, Scarlett.”
Mason was one of four new assistants the Salem CC board of trustees approved at its Feb. 19 meeting.
Courtney Gallo and Mike Kerns will join Andrea Bartlett’s volleyball staff. Gallo is a former Chestnut Hill player and Kerns is the swim coach at Camden Academy Charter.
Angel Velez is back with the baseball team after two seasons as a player. The catcher-DH was the Mighty Oaks’ hottest hitter in the second half of last season.

Woodstown boys win 4×400 relay to clinch indoor track title, their first state title in track program’s history
By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News
TOMS RIVER – When Josh Crawford hit the finish line in the final even of the day, he not only brought the Woodstown boys a 4×400 relay title, he delivered a state championship.
The Wolverines won the Group I indoor track championship Saturday – their first track title in school history – with a strong showing in the running events. Their first-place win in the relay gave them 35 points, seven ahead of a Ramsey team that had them by three entering the final race of the meet.
“We didn’t need to win the 4×400 to win the meet, but it was a great cap to a great season,” Wolverines coach Alex Dominy said. “Overall this season has been hard with snow days, difficult in terms of flu and colds and Arctic blasts, but these boys continue to improve despite barriers to a more typical season. I couldn’t be happier.
“Going into states with only six boys in events and not being the favorite was very daunting, but everyone performed amazingly and did their job to the fullest,” senior Karson Chew said.
“It was a big accomplishment in general for six guys to beat schools that have tons of people to choose from,” added Crawford.
The relay team of Jacob Marino, Chew, Anthony Costello and Crawford came home in 3:31.03, 22-hundreths of a second ahead of race runner-up New Providence.
Marino was subbing in the 4×4 for Kyle Reitz, another casualty of the postponement, and was a late scratch in the 3200 to focus on the relay and helped bring them through.
He got the Wolverines off and running while not exactly a 400 specialist. Chew got them back up to second and Costello kept them there, maybe even closing the gap. Crawford still had “a hefty gap” (about two seconds) to make up when he took the baton, but when he passed the New Providence runner who jammed him up in the 400 right before the finish he knew they had it won.
“With the meet being moved we weren’t able to run our usual 4×400 with Kyle Reitz,” Dominy said. “Being that Jacob was doing the two mile, we opted to have him scratch and focus on holding it down in the 4×400. Seeing that we won with less than a second it was a great choice.”
Marino also finished second in the 1600 (4:28.65). Crawford also won the 800 (1:57.52) with Chew finishing third (1:58.87) and got points in the 400.
From the time they clinched, their phones were blowing up with congratulatory messages from Woodstown track alums from various generations. They got to take a victory lap around the track and they were welcomed back into town by an escort of fire engines.
“That was just a great feeling,” Costello said of the victory lap. “We saw other teams do it before after they snuck it out in front of us so we said all right it’s our time now, we’re going to do it and we’re going to take it all in while we can.”
Schalick’s Sal Longo finished second in the boys pole vault, topping out at 12-6. He was beaten out for gold by Ramsey’s Luciano Zizza in a jump off at 13 feet.
Four jumpers made it to 12-6 and Longo and Zizza cleared that bar on their first attempts. Haddon Twp.’s Bobby McIlvaine joined them on his final attempt while Bound Brook’s Jake Markey fell out. All three missed three shots at 13-0, but Longo and Zizza advanced to the jump off with fewer misses and Zizza got it on the first extra attempt.
“It means a lot to me,” Longo said. “To get second place at the group championship meet today, it was very relieving to know that the hard work I put in this season is finally paying off.
“Going for the gold was very exciting. I was so close to getting that height on my last jump, I just need to tweak my technique. Overall, it was probably one of the funnest competitions I’ve been involved in.”
Ramsey’s 1-5 finish in the pole vault set the stage for the drama in the relay. The 12 points vaulted the Rams into the lead, but they didn’t have an entry in the relay. The Wolverines had to finish second to pass them and not be caught by third-place Glen Rock.
“Every 5-10 minutes (we were) checking scores, just trying to feel it out,” Costello said. “We knew it was going to come down to the wire, so were like all right we need to do this and we’re not going to worry about the scores anymore. It just got to that point where we’re just going to go out and win the thing.”
The top two finishers in each event and the top wildcards all advance to next week’s Meet of Champions.

Oh so close
Woodstown boys win 4×400 relay in record time, but it left them one point short of winning the South Jersey Group I indoor sectionals; the difference was Glassboro’s third-place finish by 0.10 seconds
By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News
TOMS RIVER – Blink your eyes. That’s how close it was to determining the South Jersey Group I boys indoor track sectionals champion Sunday.
As these meets always seem to do lately, it came down to the final race between Woodstown and Glassboro in the 4×400 relay.
Woodstown had to win it and have Glassboro finish fourth or worse – or some other combination of a six-point swing – to win it all at the Bubble.
The Wolverines did what they needed to do, winning the race in a PR meet record (3:30.30), but Glassboro raced to third (3:37.78), a scant 0.10 seconds ahead of fourth-place Gateway, to grab just enough points to win the team title by one point.
Glassboro scored 54.60 points overall to Woodstown’s 53.60.
The Wolverines relay team of Karson Chew, Anthony Costello, Kyle Reitz and Josh Crawford obliterated the old 4×400 record of 3:32.09, set by Woodbury last year. Salem finished second in the race.
“We knew going into the 4×4 that we needed two things to happen,” Chew said. “We needed to win and Glassboro couldn’t get third or better. Unfortunately, only one of those things was in the cards for us.
“Everyone ran a great race and we all did the best we could with what we could control. Now it just comes down to regaining our confidence and going into states with a good mentality.”
Through five events both teams were lagging behind leader Haddon Twp., but after the completion of the high jump and 800, the Wolverines had pulled in front, bringing Glassboro with them. The margin was seven points..
Glassboro made a big move in the 3200, the next-to-last event in the meet. Top-seeded Bulldog Joseph Saicic won the race and Jaeden Wesley, the 18th-seeded runner, finished fourth. Jacob Marino gave Woodstown its only points in the race, finishing sixth.
Salem County produced three individual champions. Crawford won the 400 (51.13) and 800 (1:59.87, going 1-2 with Chew), and Woodstown’s Kami Casiano won the girls high jump (5-0). In addition, there were four other runner-ups — Penns Grove’s Kylee Goodson (400), Woodstown’s Aiden Taulane (shot put), Woodstown’s Lia Covely (girls 55 hurdles) and Pennsville Kallie Morrison (girls high jump).
In all, Salem County qualified 28 individuals and three relays to the state group championships back here on Feb. 22.
This is the second major win for Casiano this year. She won the Tri-County Showcase with a jump of 5-2. She started the new year with a third-place finish in Penn’s Ott Center on Jan. 3 (4-10) and finished fourth in a batch meet here on Jan. 10 (5-0).
“I’m so happy about winning sectionals today,” Casiano said. “A big goal I had for myself this season was consistency. I’m getting past my nerves and giving it my all.”
Here are the event winners and Salem County qualifiers to the state group championships. The top six in each event score points and qualify for state.
This story will be updated.

PENNS GROVE — Pennsville assistant coach Ryan Wood stood before the girls basketball team after the game and gave the day its historical context in a way uniquely his own.
The Eagles had just clinched a share of its first division title since 1988 Monday when they bashed Penns Grove 65-25 in Rudy Baric Gym and Wood let them know just how long ago that was.
“Forty years ago,” he said rubbing his hands over his thinning scalp, “I had a full head of hair.”
And if you don’t believe it, his daughter, senior guard Marley Wood, has the proof.
“I’ve seen pictures, him and my brother (Luke) look the exact same, which is really weird,” she said.
The Eagles’ sixth straight win — and fourth since the coaching change — left them 9-1 in the TCC Diamond Division and a share of their first division title since 1988 with Glassboro. The teams split in the regular season.
“We’ve all worked very hard for this,” senior forward Taylor Bass said. “A lot of sweat, blood and tears have gone into it.”
There’s a banner in the far left corner of Pennsville’s Salberg Gym that commemorates the team’s last division title. After the boys soccer team won its first division title in 32 years in October, it left girls basketball with the school’s longest championship drought among teams that have won a championship. The boys basketball program has never won one. The girls track team is now on the clock (2011).
“Every year we get reminded that it’s been a while, so getting to do with my team my senior year and my dad in the back with us is great,” Marley Wood said.
The Eagles (14-6) had control of this one from the start. They built a 33-15 halftime lead, then opened the third quarter with 16 straight points to put it out of reach.
Bass and Addie Johnston led the offense with 18 points apiece. Since the coaching change that elevated Robin Efelis to head coach and brought Ryan Wood back to the bench, Johnston has scored 52 points and hit eight 3-pointers.
“It’s just been good games, good days,” the sophomore said. “My shooting’s been good, my confidence overall has been high. Just been coming out hot every day.”
Wood had six points, but grabbed 10 rebounds and dished 12 assists. Already the second-leading all-time girls scorer in school history, she needs one point for 1,300 and four assists for 500. That would put her in the 1300-500-500 Club since she already has 521 rebounds.

SCHALICK 46, WOODSTOWN 25: The Cougars put together one of their best defensive efforts of the season in a year filled with big defensive efforts and ended a 13-game losing streak against the Wolverines. It was almost seven years to the day the last time they won in the series, Feb. 12, 2019.
“This one feels good,” Schalick coach John Whelan said. “The girls were ready for this game and they put together four full quarters of good basketball. It was a signature win as we come to the end of there egular season. It will be a great momentum builder as we head into the playoffs.”
The Cougars (14-5) held their hosts to single digits in all four quarters. They led 10-8 after the first quarter, then took control in the second quarter. They closed Woodstown out with a 15-3 fourth quarter. They are averaging a shade under 24 points against in their 14 wins this season.
“As always we build off our defense,” Whelan said. “It was an outstanding defensive performance where the girls took pride in winning on that side of the court. That aggressiveness translated to playing downhill on the offensive end. Everyone played a part.”
Ava Scurry anchored the defense. She had 14 rebounds, including the 600th of her career, five steals and seven blocked shots. Cali Fisler had four steals and Olivia Vanacker had eight rebounds, a career-high nine assists and three steals.
Willow Davis led the offense with four 3-pointers and a career-high 18 points. Nevaeh Robinson had 10. Kendall Young was Woodstown’s leading scorer with 10 points.
The Wolverines, who once had a 39-game winning streaks against Salem County opponents, have now won lost two in a row to in-county foes.
