Sydney McLaughlin returned to the track Wednesday night for the first time since her Olympic run this summer, she had opened up her season the previous weekend hitting a 20-7.25 long jump at the Hall of Fame Invitational. She ran the first 200 meter leg of a sprint medley relay splitting 23.5. That Union Catholic team ended up finishing first with a meet record time of 4:17.76 NJ#1 US#3, an impressive early season performance.
The previous record was set at 4:18.07 in 2006 by Morris Knolls.
