Coach who set up bogus track meet resigns

The co-founder of a Newark-based track club that was listed as the host for two bogus meets told NorthJersey.com on Thursday that he has resigned as a high school track coach after admitting to falsifying results of a meet. Eddie Greene, who co-founded the Newark Flames Track Club, said he submitted fake meet results to NJ MileSplit for the 2017 Brick City Invitational in Newark and that fewer than half of the nine scheduled teams showed up, despite him reporting results for at least eight teams. West Side High School, where Greene was the boys track and field coach, confirmed Greene’s resignation Thursday morning.
