If it’s 2018, then every high school sports program has a Twitter address, a Facebook page and a website.
Deptford’s track and field team is in line for special seasons in the winter and the spring. They seem to know it, too.
When asked who is the boys equivalent to Winslow Township’s girls track program (six straight spring state titles), at least a few Spartans said either “us” or “you’re looking at it.”
“These guys said that?” Sherry said. “I’m a big fan of humility. I think you need to be humble. I think we are a talented group, but at the same time if you start believing your own hype, now some weak spots start popping up because maybe they’re not doing the work because they believe that.”
Or, basically, go out and prove it first.
“Absolutely,” Sherry said. “There’s definitely a lot of talent. But South Jersey in general has a ton of talent. Delsea is always very good, I can’t remember the last time they were down, so they’re very good. Pleasantville is always very good, Camden is always very good, Haddonfield is always very good. So this area, as far as I’m concerned, is a hotbed for track and field talent.”
And that’s why it’s important to get your sleep, eat right, and hydrate (among other things). It could very well be the difference between being the best in South Jersey.
