2025 Race Of Champions
Six of Sparta's "NJ All-League" alpine ski racers gave it their all at the 2025 NJISRA (New Jersey Interscholastic Ski Racing Association) Race Of Champions held at Mountain Creek in Vernon, NJ, on Feb 26th, 2025. The Race of Champions (ROCs) consisted of two runs of giant slalom and two runs of slalom. It was a long day of racing, requiring focus, strength, and endurance.
The ROC is an NJISRA individual championship race among the NJ "All-League" Racers, top 30 boys and top 30 girls in the state based on league points accrued during the regular season conference league races. This year marked a significant achievement for Sparta High School, as we had the largest contingent of "All-League" athletes in over a decade, with seven Spartans earning the title of "NJ All-League": Ryan Grycuk (5), Pat Fitzsimmons (11), Finn Kowalski (12), Devon Dobbs (17), Ava Dyrsten (20), Sunny Young (21), and George Flint (23).
Congrats to Spartan racers Ryan Grycuk for medaling at the ROC's with an 8th place finish in slalom and 9th place finish in giant slalom and Pat Fitzsimmons for medaling with a 9th place finish in slalom. We are proud of our "All-League" racers for their valiant effort.
