<p>I haven’t even gotten into hurdles, jumps, and throws, but IL doesn’t have one girl in the top 50 nationally for any event from 100 to 3200, while NJ has 2+ in every event (with 8 girls being in the top 25 nationally for the 800, all have broken 2:10.) Obviously winning an MOC title in NJ is a big feat. But just in case you were wondering I got this information from Jersey13’s precious site, so take it as you may.</p>
