From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

It’s Day 3 of the South Jersey County Record project! We’re starting out with indoor records and when we get through all seven South Jersey counties we’ll start putting together outdoor records!

When we’re done? We’ll have a great list of the all-time South Jersey records!  

As always … let us know of any errors or omissions in the comment’s section!

Day 1: Atlantic County
