The Arthur L. Johnson Athletic Department recently held their 2018 Spring Athletic Awards. The evening, sponsored by the Crusader Athletic Booster Club, was held in the Arthur L. Johnson High School auditorium, Clark, New Jersey.
All the Spring Athletic Teams and their seasons were highlighted by their coaches while handing out letters and awards to the student athletes. Over 100 varsity athletic letters were handed out throughout the evening, as participation in athletics at Arthur L. Johnson High School continues to grow.
The program continued with the Student Athlete Award, which was presented by the Athletic Director of Arthur L. Johnson High School, Mr. Gus Kalikas. The Student Athlete Award is given out each athletic season to a student athlete that is not only a champion on the field, but in the classroom as well. The 2018 Spring Student Athlete award recipient was Lindsey Hofschneider.
The Crusader G.P.A. Challenge is 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 fields. I am happy to introduce the winner of the 2018 Spring Seasonal G.P.A. Challenge: The Girls’ Spring Track & Field Team with a G.P.A. of 4.0034. Members of the Girls’ Spring Track & Field Team include: Meagan Lambert, Carly Tarentino, Victoria Venezio, Emma Hilton, Julia Kalynchuk, Shailynn, Taylor Turek, Jenna Wiese, Paige Kelly, Kayla Kowalenko, Natalya Torres, Kylee Zawacki, Grace Duffy, Saga Elsekhely, Lindsey Hofschneider, Alyssa Keane, Jessica Knowles, and Yasmine Torres.

Our teams, coaches, and student athletes continue to raise the bar both in the classrooms and on the athletic fields and the Clark School District could not be more proud of their performance this past spring athletics season.”
