Junior Matthew ‘Pierce’ Malloy won his first championship race of the season at the Prep B Finals, leading Newark Academy to a strong 37 point finish, with second-placed MKA finishing with 72 points.
Malloy crossed the line victorious with a time of 17:24 and had the pleasure of watching three of the next eight finishing positions all wearing the Newark Academy uniform as well. Andy Nagpal 17:32 (3rd), Luka Opacic Rodrigues 17:45 (5th), Maximillian Gorbaty 17:51(9th), and Luke Waskow 18:38 (19th) all contributed to the scoring, bringing the team total to 37 points and a 17:50 average.
This was a strong race for Newark Academy and has been a strong season so far. The next race on the billing is the NJSIAA Group Championships hosted at Holmdel Park in Holmdel, NJ on Saturday, November 13
Congratulations on winning the Prep B State title for the third year running and an additional congratulations to Head Coach, Sarah Guelich and Assistant Coaches, Tim McCall and Mitch Jurasek.
