Can the Morris Hills Boys break the "The Bubble" venue 4x800 meter record?
All-Time Bennett Indoor Complex 4x800 Meter List
With their run of 7:53.62 at the Hispanic Games this past weekend the Morris Hills boys have taken back the US#1 position in the 4x800 meter relay. They opened the season up with a then US#1 time of 8:06.78 at the Bishop Loughlin Games which was eventually overtaken by other top teams in the country. '
This most recent sub-eight minute time was run on the NY Armory's banked track and exciting aura so they'll have some work to do on the Toms River flat track but lets take a look at the standards they'll chasing if they go for it.
The Bennett Indoor Complex, "The Bubble", record is currently held by Freehold Twp with their 8:03.63 run in 2010 at Monmouth County Relays.
The Group Relays record is even more in sight. The best from all groups is set at 8:04.26 thanks to Notre Dame last year, they went on to run a season best of 7:51.24 later that month finishing NJ#2 in 2015.
The Group 3 State Relays record is held by Morristown who ran 8:05.26 in 2010. Like the Morris Hills boys of 2016, Morristown ran at the 2010 Hispanic Games just before the state relay championships but they ran 8:02.29 at the New York based meet. Seems Morris Hills is ahead of schedule for at least one of these records if they run hard.
