Over the years, the Dragon Track & Field Team has amassed impressive records and finishes in both Union County.
The team boasts NJ Meet of Champion winners and sets records at the conference, league, and school levels. Our program develops strong, self-assured scholar-athletes who consistently raise the bar for themselves and one another.
The team has event-specific coaches, whose goal is to help each girl to build her skills in order to help the team perform as a competitive unit. Recent graduates of the program have gone on to participate in some of the best Division I, Ivy, and NESCAC programs in the country — at, for example, Vanderbilt, Yale, UPenn, Duke, and Hamilton College.
