The Showcase is a series put together by Dave Alfano and Justin Wood meant to give athletes a chance not only to compete at a high level during the summer months but to display their talents to college scouts. A second and final meet for this summer will be held on July 22nd, there is still time to sign up as registration closes July 19th.
"The feedback received from all athletes and coaches was very positive. Although the weather kept some coaches and athletes from attending, the first meet proved to be very successful," Meet Director Dave Alfano commented, "When all was said and done, the meet produced a NJ #2 long jump, NJ #5 TJ, five new Newark Schools Stadium facility records, and dozens of new connections between college coaches and athletes."
