From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

On Wednesday, we posted a list we put together of the top indoor marks of the 2023-24 season recorded by South Jersey athletes – high school, college and post-grad.

You can find that list here.

As promised, here’s the girls / women’s list.  It’s fun to see how the top high school athletes compare to the top collegians and then how the top collegians compare to the handful of high-level women who are continuing to compete after college.

I think I’ll start working on the outdoor list this weekend so I don’t have to spend 10 hours on it the day before I post it!

Welcome to indoor track season! Enjoy the list and if you see any errors or omissions please let me know in the comment section!
