Olivia Baker continues her high school farewell tour winning the Brooks PR Invitational 400m with a strong season best time of 53.26. Now 5-0 on the season in the 400m and 5-1 in the 800m she'll have to decide which event to go after on her way to the USATF World Youth Trials. 

Below you can watch the great interview with our NJ track star by Todd Grasley and below that you can watch her 400m.

Also at this meet for New Jersey was Joe White of DePaul Catholic, he placed 9th with a time of 1:54.73. Probably not the time he was hoping for but don't sweat it Joe, this was not a season to be disappointed with! A 1:49.08 at MOCs and 1:48.75 at Nationals the week before!
