Sure, the winter indoor track season generally is a tuneup for the spring season, but that doesn’t mean Jackson Braddock doesn’t want to do well. The Southern Regional junior distance runner put in two excellent races during the NJSIAA South Jersey Group IV meet on Feb. 23. Unfortunately, he didn’t win them.

Braddock finished second in both the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs at the Bennett Center in Toms River, clocking 4:25.11 and 9:17.82, respectively.
