On Wednesday, December 09, 2015, the Arthur L. Johnson Athletic Department held a breakfast in honor of the 2015 Fall Athletics G.P.A. Challenge winners, the Gymnastics Team. The event, sponsored by the Athletic Department, was held in the Arthur L. Johnson Cafeteria.
The Crusader G.P.A. Challenge will be awarded each season to the team that finishes with the highest overall G.P.A. amongst athletic teams seasonally. They will be presented with certificates, have their team memorialized on a plaque, and be invited for a “Breakfast with the A.D.” to celebrate their actions both in the classrooms and on the courts. The G.P.A. Challenge for the Fall 2015 season was awarded to the Crusader Gymnastics Team with a G.P.A. of 4.0527. The following members of the Gymnastics Team won the G.P.A. Challenge for the Fall 2015 Season: Kelsey Briscese, Lauren DeMille, Gina Ferdinandi, Payton Wiese, Angela Pieros, Lindsay Becker, Nicalina Del Rosario, Christina Sheafer. Athletic Director for the Clark School District Gus Kalikas had this to say about the G.P.A. Challenge winners from the Fall Season: “The Athletic Department is extremely proud of all the members of the Gymnastics Team. The team was able to balance athletics and academics at the highest level, not only competing in the State Tournament in the Fall season but also excelling in the classroom, which is evident by the cumulative G.P.A. of 4.0527 that the team held throughout the season. The G.P.A. Challenge was a result of years of hard work, not only by the girls, but by our Head Coach, Briana Ferdinandi, as well. They are a model of what it means to be a student athlete and the Clark School District is proud of all of their accomplishments.”
