Olympic Conference (New Jersey)

History

edit

Timber Creek Regional High School announced in 2018 that they would leave the Olympic Conference and join the Tri-County Conference for the 2020-21 school year, which would have the benefit of having all three schools in the Black Horse Pike District competing in the same athletic conference.[1]

Both Washington Township High School and the Salem County Career and Technical High School announced in 2021 that they would leave the Olympic Conference for the Tri-County Conference.[2]
