lol not surprised to see squabbling in a junior Olympics article with teams from this region. Too many teams in a small space. Relax New Jersey people

Not the 800 Free relay. Scarlet won that one….seems JFAC was scared to show up for that one.

lol – I had to check that one and it was just a 1 heat 800 relay and Scarlet had 4 (A, B, C and D) relay teams in that 1 heat. Looks like no other teams showed up on that Friday night but Scarlet and NJ race club.

Agree with previous comment, NJ swimmers are super passionate about their teams! Everyone should respect each other and move on!

What is missing from the article is that NJ Junior Olympics was split site – this is just the results from Rutgers – there was a simultaneous meet at Berkeley Aquatic Club with other teams. Also agree with others who posted: shame this was scheduled at the same time as Y States.
