Track: Week 3 Sprint Around the GMC & Skyland Conferences

Week three continued the roller coaster ride with the weather as Wednesday saw 80-plus temperatures in many portions of the state, while the weekend was a mix of early morning wind and cold which turned out to be quite comfortable by the afternoon.

There were also a few more mid-week events being held which have proven to be great for the younger track athletes looking to build confidence and their resumés.

NOTE: This Saturday I will be either at the Blue Devil Relays in Westfield or at the Colts Neck Spring Invitational (Individual Events). It will be a race day decision.
