CJ Spring Sports Wrap Up

7/7/2023

CJ student athletes continued the spring athletic season well beyond the school year. Their accomplishments included a first-in-history GCL championship for girls lacrosse, a GCL championship for boys tennis, a State appearance by track and field, and a Regional championship title for CJ baseball.

"The success and accomplishments of the Spring Sports season speak volumes of our student-athletes and coaches' abilities to navigate through various challenges,” said Anthony Turner ‘04. “Despite the challenges of spring break, prom, weather cancellations, senior trips and graduations, they have shown their impressive ability to adjust, adapt, and remain focused on team goals. Their unwavering commitment to success on and off the field is truly remarkable."
