I’ve rightfully been plugging away at this one. Many athletes have the dreams Natalie has. Only a few can make them come to fruition. She’s one of them. Big thanks to Natalie, @eastern_g_track, and many others for helping make this story possible! #NJTracknj.com/highschoolsports/2026…
As a diehard #Nets fan spending the night at my girlfriend's house in Staten Island, there are nightmares. And there are nights like tonight.
But in all seriousness, congrats to all the #Knicks fans. You guys have been through a lot of darkness. Enjoy this one. #TheFinals
@uctrack Paige Sheppard is not just a NJ track and field legend, but a one of the all-time greats in U.S. HS track and field history.
She proved it at the Brooks PR Invitational in Renton, Washington.

💥One of the best things about covering NJ T&F/XC is all the great people/reporters you meet who are on the beat.
So here’s a shoutout to everyone who covers those sports and breaks their a$$ to bring great coverage to the athletes who compete in the best sport in the world💥
Typing out some of these girls names for the last time is pretty surreal. Been typing out many of those names for the last three years. Hard to imagine the sport ever being as good as it was this year, but 26 of the 50 are back next spring. There’s no shortage of #NJTrack stars.
And then there's @eastern_g_track's Natalie Dumas, who did what was once unthinkable for the second time. An unreal curtain call at the Meet of Champions for the Arkansas commit. #NJTracknj.com/highschoolsports/2026…
Whether it's with great competition or in a race she blows open, all @uctrack star Paige Sheppard does is dazzle. Her latest feat is a 1,600 title defense at the Meet of Champions. #NJTracknj.com/highschoolsports/2026…
Incredible stuff from @OT_track standout Leah Starkey today at the Meet of Champions. The sophomore defended her title in the 3,200 with an unreal kick. #NJTracknj.com/highschoolsports/2026…
Happy MOCs! It’s a great but weird day. It’s most anticipated MOCs I can remember on the girls’ end. It’s also unfortunately the last in-state meet for so many great seniors who have dominated the sport. Below, find our hub for all the action. #NJTracknj.com/highschoolsports/2026…
The 2026 NJSIAA Meet of Champions is tomorrow afternoon.
Below, find the most comprehensive preview of the biggest track and field meet in New Jersey, courtesy of myself, @ryanwpatti and @BakariTicenj.com/highschoolsports/2026…
