Luke Annichiarico of Old Tappan had the NJ#1 spot before yesterday at 15-0.5, Dylan Altland took that spot away vaulting 15-1 at the North 2 meet last night. Well Luke returned the favor taking back the top spot with a 15-2 vault today! He attempted the All-Group record by aiming for 15-6.25 but was just short on his last attempt. Congratulations on the victory and see you at Groups!

Breaisha Morton of Passaic Cty VT is having a good day, she placed first in the North 1 Group 4 55m Hurdles (8.36), the 400m (58.41), and the High Jump (5-04). A total of 30 points for her team! They lead 57 to 51 over Ridgewood heading into the 4x400m.

Keturah Orji may not have the jumping events that she's famed for at NJ Indoor Sectionals but that doesn't mean she doesn't have talent elsewhere. She found two individual gold medals on the track today with a winning time of 59.29 (NJ#12) in the 400m and 7.21 (NJ#6) in the 55m Dash! She later added a gold with the 4x400m winning team!

The Memorial WNY 4x400m boys fought hard to lead most of the race until a botched hand-off heading into the anchor leg almost cost them the gold; fortunately Jhonathan Matamoros was able to make up for it with a great kick. / Photo by Robert Kellert for MileSplit
