The start of the 2024 N.J. track and field is fast approaching, and NJ Advance Media will have you covered with a comprehensive list of preview posts to get you ready for Opening Weekend.
With the NJSIAA sectional and group championships just a few months away, teams will be gearing up to vie for championship hardware come May and June. The 2024 outdoor track and field season will see very few changes to the sectional classifications, with the notable change being the addition of St. Benedict’s, who re-joined the NJSIAA this school year.
