From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

On Day 5 of the South Jersey County Record Project we make the scenic drive up the Garden State Park and out Rte. 47 and Rte. 55 from Cape May to Cumberland County!

For a county that only has three high schools these days, Cumberland County’s indoor records are strong, which is a testament to how good the Millville, Bridgeton and Vineland programs have been over the years.

If you missed any of the previous installments, they’re all right here:

Day 1: Atlantic County
Day 2: Burlington County
Day 3: Camden County
Day 4: Cape May County

We’ll move on to Gloucester County tomorrow and then Salem County, and then we’ll get to work on outdoor records!

As always, please note corrections, additions and omissions in the comments section!
