Union Catholic's Mike McCabe and Christian Brother Academy's Karl Torchia have been selected by the USTFCCCA to represent New Jersey's Girls and Boys coaches of the year!
The coaches selected are based on how teams finish in state championships, number of events their athletes qualify in, year to year improvements, and so on. Coaches selected will be presented a trophy as well as enter the running for the USTFCCCA's National High School Track and Field Coach of the Year Award. That title is chosen by a panel and is yet to be announced.
Congratulations to all of these leaders in our track and field community.
