I'm here at the bubble where it looks like I will be able to shoot video all night thanks to Brian Wilkinson and The Toms River crew.
It turns out that the "ladder" that I have been standing on for the past few years is actually used for volleyball and is no longer located in the bubble. So they got me a 12' step ladder to stand on to record all the action.
Opening up the meet will be the 400m where Najee Glass (St. Peter's) is definitely the favorite. Glass has run 49.10 already on this track. With Dylan Hurley (Pope John) there to push Glass he may be able to go under 49.00 and would be the first to do so at the bubble this year. He would actually be just the 3rd athlete to do it in all of New Jersey. Keith Griffith has run 48.64 and Clayton Gravesande has run 48.6h (48.84)

Unoficially Najee Glass wins in 48.8 I'll get the official results soon. I am video taping every seeded heat tonight. I haven't decided If I'm going to do the 3200m or not. I have been pretty tired lately as most of you know my wife and I brought our 2nd child into the world on Tuesday and we haven't been getting much sleep :)
