This is probably the most wide race in the boys competition.
Samuel Thomas of Northern Burlington is the fastest sprinter in the field with a NJ No. 2 time of 6.42. But he was knocked off by Xavier Hayletts of Bergenfield, 6.47 to 6.51, in the Group 3 race.
Also look out for Group 4 champion Cole Cramer, a sophomore at Southern who has run an NJ No. 3 time of 6.43.
The only returner from last year's MOCs final is Non-Public B Champ Spencer Anderson of Morristown-Beard School, he is fresh off an Eastern States Championships victory with a NJ No. 4 ranked 6.44.
