THE COACH'S CORNER
Posted 3/16/26
As we wrap up the season, I want to congratulate all of our athletes on a tremendous year. It was a productive, rewarding, and fun season, and I am incredibly proud of the effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship everyone showed from the first training day to the final race.
A special congratulations goes to the boys varsity ski team for finishing 3rd on the podium at the NJ State Championships and earning the title of Small Public School State Champions. That is a fantastic accomplishment and a testament to the hard work the team put in all season.
Congratulations as well to the girls varsity ski team, who finished 6th at the NJISRA State Championships, and to our boys JV team, who placed 7th at the JV GS State Championships. Both results reflect the depth and commitment across our entire team.
Individually, we had an outstanding year as well, with three girls (Kate Agudo, Maddie Gamibino, & Sunny Young) and three boys (Pat Fitzsimmons, Ryan Grycuk, & Finn Kowalski) earning All-League honors, a great achievement that highlights the strength of our athletes.
A special recognition goes to Captain Ryan Grycuk, who finished 9th at the 2026 Race of Champions, competing against the best racers in the state.
The season concluded on an especially exciting note as our two captains earned invitations to join the NJ State Team and compete at Eastern Regionals, a well-deserved honor that reflects their leadership and performance throughout the year.
Thank you to all of our athletes, families, and coaches for making this such a successful season. I look forward to celebrating the season with all of you at our year-end awards banquet.
