Elementary athletes go for the gold at Paul Blue Track Meet

Young student athletes from all around Linden came together on May 17 and 18 for the return of our Paul Blue Memorial Elementary School Track Meet.

Students in Grades 3 through 5 competed by grade level in sprints, relays, softball throw, and standing long jump under the supervision of the elementary and high school physical education teachers and members of the Linden High School track and field team.

This was the first time the annual event named for legendary Linden physical education teacher Paul Blue has been held since 2019.
