4-10-13.  Five teams competed here today, as we begin the Coach Josh Nelson era of TCS Track. New Brunswick Middle School, Wardlaw Hartridge, Calvary Christian of Old Bridge, NJ, and Crossroads Middle School of South Brunswick (which only brought two buses, so they did not have their full team of 140 athletes!)

Full results will be posted when we receive them, but comparing our first meet this year to the first meet last year showed significantly better performances in several events.

Thanks to the many parents and friends who came out to watch and support our team!  Congrats to Coach Nelson for a great first meet!

Will post personal records as we have time. Significant PRs for Peter Yamasaki, Danny Champagne and Sammy Gao in 800 and 1600.  Very encouraging races also from newcomers Nicholas Yamasaki, Matt Zecca and Nikita Sionios in those events as well.  In fact, the first five for us in the boys 1600 ran faster than any junior high boy did all last year.  This evening I do not have most of the results so if you are not mentioned, it is because the results are still being compiled.

Special thanks to the injured Karlea Zazopoulos who cheerfully compiled a lot of the field event results.
