Before we move onto the all-time South Jersey indoor top-50 lists tomorrow morning, let’s recap all the outdoor lists!
Here, compiled for the first time ever, are all-time South Jersey top-50 lists for all 24 major events contested in New Jersey outdoor track.
Once track and field returns, we will update these lists in real time so athletes, coaches, historians and journalists will have a handy resource to compare performances and see how modern marks compare to those from South Jersey’s rich track history.
It’s been difficult for all of us – athletes, coaches and fans – to endure the first spring of our lifetimes without track and field. Hopefully, these lists can provide a small diversion until cross country and track resume.
As always, please forward all corrections and additions to me in the comment section!

Thanks so much for putting this together. Check your links for girls shot. Not sure if it’s on my end but it’s showing discus results. Missing track season so much. This has filled a void

Morning Reuben. Are you going to do anything with other Relays? High jump, pole vault, shot put, long jump, javelin, discus, triple jump.

Field event relays? No, nothing like that. Nobody has ever really kept track of those events, only the individual marks made within them. Sorry! I am starting indoor marks later today!
