Masters sprinters invited to elite New Jersey meet
Penn Relays and Mt. SAC notwithstanding, it’s still generally rare for elite open meets to include masters events. For example, you rarely see masters compete in Golden Spike-type U.S. meets (like the Prefontaine Classic, directed by Tom Jordan, a top official in World Masters Athletics.) But Frank Schiro in New York informs us of an opportunity at the 19th Annual New Jersey International Track and Field Meet.
Frank writes:
“Elliot Denman of the Shore AC is holding (the meet) Saturday, June 11, at Colts Neck High School in Colts Neck N.J. What makes this meet even more special is that masters are offered a masters 100-meter dash and a 400-meter dash, and this year Elliot is adding a 4×200 Masters relay This is also an open “Invitational” meet and the quality of the fields tends to be quite good. Thanks for including us masters,Elliot Now we masters have to get out and support Elliot and the N.J. Invitational. F.A.T timing is available for all events and watches are awarded as prizes to event winners.”
Watches! Watches!
Now if that ain’t cool, what is?

Ken,
There is also the GSAC Classic (Masters T & F Grand Prix Event) at Randloph HS the following day on June 12. I wonder how much one NJ meet will dilute the other?
And that’s not all…
