Thanks in part to the terrible weather that we had every Saturday before the entry deadline, we’ve got a small group of South Jersey boys in the invitational events at next week’s 129th annual Penn Relays at Franklin Field.
Haddonfield’s distance medley team, ranked 16th indoors at 10:11.61 from a meet in February at the Ott Center, leads the South Jersey contingent, with Bennett Wright, Luke Andressen, Ben Andrus and Jack Brand expected to race in the Championship of America final at 5:15 p.m. Friday.
Here’s a look at the full slate of invitational acceptances. Errors and omissions please let met know in the comment section as soon as possible. The full boys high school schedule, including the 4-by-100s and 4-by-400s, can be found here.
