Live Results link will be made available on meet day.

There's something about rolling into that park with the Saturday morning dew still fresh on the grass and the trees shifting ever into their fall form. Knowing there are 12 races of epic championship action about to toe the line, entire summers of training, and seasons all leading to this moment.

Both teams and individuals, the best of the best in New Jersey, will compete for state championships as well as advancement to the overall NJSIAA Meet of Champions. A setup that has capped off the season for decades in proper fashion.

NJ MileSplit will be on-site providing multi-view race videos, interviews with winners, photo albums, and more.
