Willingboro's Doug Keys is the 2024 girls indoor track Coach of the Year

Willingboro’s Maya Bolden placed 3rd in the freshman 60-meter dash Friday at the Boston Nationals.

Bolden ran 7.86 in the trials earlier in the day and was the fifth-fastest qualifier, but in the final, she finished in a virtual tie for second place with Caitlyn Ly of Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass. Both were timed in 7.79, but Ly officially placed second when their times were broken down by 1,000ths of a second—Ly in 7.784 and Bolden in 7.790.

That’s the fastest time by a New Jersey freshman this year. Although the meet’s timekeepers did not post en route times for 55 meters, the standard conversion for 7.79 is 7.26 for 55 meters, which is also the fastest time by a New Jersey freshman this year. Bolden’s 55 PR is 7.34 from the state Group 2 meet at the Bubble.

Memorial Middle School Administration and staff are making a concerted PBSIS (Positive Behavior Support In Schools) effort to incentivize and recognize the students wearing the approved school dress code. Dasear Haskins, a star basketball player at Saint Joseph‘s University, is a former student at Memorial Middle School, and he would like to join in the PBSIS effort. He visited Memorial Middle School today to address the students and bring surprise treats for all the students who have been uniform-compliant.

Dasear won the Group 2 NJ Basketball State Championship in 2022 and was among the top-ranked players in the state and the country. Dasear was recently featured in an article in Sports Illustrated as one of the best NBA draft prospects.

Administration and staff would like to thank Dasear for his contribution and will continue to incentivize and recognize our students who demonstrate respect, responsibility, and self-control.
