Group 1
2019 Group 1 Leaders - Sectional Merge Leaders
The biggest team favorite in all the Groups is Willingboro, which is expected to roll to its first title since 2003 and its 13th overall.
Coach Martin Booker's Chimeras can score all over the place.
Willingboro has the No. 1 performances in Group 1 this season in the 400 hurdles with Jayaire King, the long jump with Nate Robertson, the discus with Emmanuel Lewis, and the 4x400.
Looking for a potential triple winner?
Thomas Hampton of Clayton could pull off gold hat trick.
Hampton has run 10.60 in the 100m and 21.82 for the 200m. No one else in the field has broken 10.75 ot 22.00. The 100m Group 1 record of 10.58 set in 1983 by former NFL wide receiver Willie "Flipper'' Anderson of Paulsboro could go down. Hampton also ran on Clayton's 4x100, which owns a Group 1 season best 42.85.
One of the best match-ups of the meet should between Jared Cooper of Mountain Lakes vs. Joe Cranley of Highland Park in the 1,600. Cooper has run 4:17.56 and Cranley 4:18.25. Cooper is also the favorite in the 3,200 with his PR of 9:07.23, while Cranley has the top time in the 800 (1:55.22).
