A great day by Dominick Padovano in the shot put and discus highlighted the South Brunswick High School boys track team's participation in the Metuchen Relays on Apr. 9.
"At the Metuchen Relays this past Saturday, our top finishes were a first for the shot put team, and second place for our 4x400, discus and distance medley teams," South Brunswick Coach Wilfredo Rivera noted.
