Despite a stomach flu virus (Nick Chiarella recovering and TJ Lynch and Sean Fitzgerald in the middle of it) the 4 X 400 relay gutted out a state second place time to date of 3:28.4. Only Seton Hall has run faster and the time looks good for a seed in the Millrose 4 X 400 trials to be held at the New York New Balance Track and Field Center on Jan. 14. First or second in these trials guarantees a place in the suburban 4 X 400 relay at the Millrose games in Madison Square Garden. The New Jersey teams will race against two teams selected from Long Island New York and two teams selected from Westchester County New York.
The athlete of the meet goes to TJ Lynch for his exceptional performance despite a stomach virus. He ran a 7.8 on the second place 4 X high hurdle relay (team time of 32.0 is the second fastest time in the state to date) and a 52.1 on the second place 4 X 400 meter relay.
