On January 7, Kent Place fifth-graders blasted off into an unforgettable adventure during their visit to the Buehler Challenger and Science Center — where their science lessons suddenly felt thrillingly real.
Over the years, the Dragon Track & Field Team has amassed an impressive record in both the Union County League and the New Jersey Prep School League.
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 many 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, and Hamilton College.
Come join the team!
Coaches:
Varsity: Francesca Petracco (co-head), TBD (co-head), Erica Evans (assistant), Kerrie Burns (assistant)
Middle School: Kristen Emmel (co-head), Holly Moller (co-head)
