"Our varsity boys 4x200 did very well, and we expect big things from them in the big meets coming up," Moorhead said.
South Brunswick also did very well in several of the novice events.
"It is nice for some of our younger, less experienced athletes to earn medals and have some success that they can hopefully build on in the future," Moorhead said.
Jose Baxter won the novice 55 hurdles for the boys. Julia Lekht won the 55 novice hurdles for the boys.
The South Brunswick boys won the novice 4x200. The South Brunswick girls won the novice 4x800 and the 4x200.
"The meet was our first chance this season to run relays, and I thought we did pretty well overall," Moorhead said. "In most of the relays we had two or three solid performances. The goal over the coming weeks is to get all four runners competing at the same high level, on the same day."
South Brunswick will want to be at its best on Jan. 6, when it takes part in the Middlesex County Relays, which will be held at the Bennett Center in Toms River.
