From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

I put together a list of top-10 seeds from South Jersey for this year’s state meet. These are unofficial lists based on MileSplit’s sectional merges.

Boys list is first, and I’ll post the girls list later today.

Both meets start at 2:30 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m. Saturday, with  Groups 1 and 4 inSomerset and Groups 2 and 3 in Mansfield.

Errors or omissions, you know the routine! Let me know in the comment section!
