The 53rd annual boys Meet of Champions and 43rd annual girls Meet of Champions are scheduled for Friday and Saturday at the Bennett Center in Toms River.
The meet should be at Ocean Breeze, but, alas, the state is forcing kids to run the biggest meet of the season on a slow, flat track inside a cramped, uncomfortable air bubble.
New Jersey athletes are so talented, it will still be a tremendous meet. But anybody who watched the 2020 meet at Ocean Breeze knows what an indoor Meet of Champions should look like.
In any case, field events get underway at 5 p.m. Friday and track events start at 10 a.m. Saturday.
On Monday afternoon, the NJSIAA released the official boys and girls performance lists, including wild-cards.
