All in all, it was a banner day for the team and the best collective effort in school history, with 39 team points representing the most ever scored for the Spartans. While today may have made a statement that the team isn't to be taken lightly anymore, the coaches know that there is still plenty of work to be done. The best is yet to come, and you best believe it's gonna be an exciting journey over the next 2 months.
The Spartans return to action on Thursday, April 13, with a select group traveling to Holmdel HS in a Penn Relays preview. The entire team is back at it on Saturday, April 15, at the Somerset County Relays hosted by Ridge HS.
