Last week The SandPaper reported that a half-dozen local track and field athletes had advanced to the ultimate high school track and field competition in New Jersey, the aptly named Meet of Champions, held last Wednesday in South Plainfield.

Unfortunately, The SandPaper can’t announce that a local state champion emerged from the meet. But special attention must be paid to one athlete, Brianna Young of Barnegat High School, the only local athlete posting a top-six finish.
