From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

The South Jersey Invitational, the individual portion of the South Jersey Relays, began its existence at Eastern High School in 1992 and eventually moved to Buena before finding its current home at Delsea.

The meet wasn’t held in 2005, although Cinnaminson did host a distance night in its place, and we’ve always included those results in our history of the S.J. Invite.

The 26th annual South Jersey Invitational is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. with field events and 6 p.m. with track events on Thursday.

There’s only place you can get a list of every winner in meet history.

Here.

Later today, I’ll post the all-time South Jersey Invitational top-10 performance list.
