In a strange turn of events the meet was postponed due to severe weather in the middle of the seeded heat of the boys 3200 meter run. With less than two laps to go in the race, lightning in the area forced officials to stop the race and eventually postpone the meet.

The meet is scheduled to resume Monday at 6 p.m. at Old Bridge's Lombardi Field. Events to be completed include the boys and girls 3200, and 4x400 relays, boys shot put, boys long jump, girls triple jump, and girls javelin.
