The Athlete of the Week: Jeremy Burrell
Boys’ Spring Track
The Boys Spring Track Team is concluding another successful season filled with fast times, far throws, and big jumps. With the combination of hard work and dedication, the boys have won another GMC Blue Division title. One of the main contributors to the success of the team this season, is from the sprinting and hurdling skills of Jeremy Burrell.
Coming off a stellar performance in the county championships, Jeremy was poised to make some noise in the Group 3 state sectionals two weeks ago. He placed 3rd overall in the 100m dash, 2nd overall in the 110m hurdles, and lastly was a member of the boys’ 4x100m relay team that took first overall and were crowned sectional champs. This past weekend, against even tougher competition, Jeremy competed in the Group 3 state championship. With a trip to the Meet of Champions on the line, Jeremy ran and hurdled past his competition to secure his spot in all three of his events for this coming week. Along with 4 other members of the Tigers Spring Track Team, Jeremy Burrell will be competing at the Meet of Champions this coming Saturday.
At South Plainfield Middle School, we support all children, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, skin color or economic status.
For one last school spirit day this year, the staff and students showed their support and celebrating Pride Month and having their own Pride Day. They proudly wearing their sparkle and/or favorite colors of the rainbow.
The Athlete of the Week: Aiden Medina
Boys’ Tennis
The South Plainfield High School Tennis team had an amazing season. They finished with an overall record of 11-9 and a division record of 8-6. Junior captain, Aiden Medina, has been the vital force for the Tiger Tennis team this year.
Aiden’s overall record was 18-4 and had a division record of 13-2. Aiden earned the honor of being the Most Valuable Player this season and made the All-White Division Team. His athleticism, determination, and innate ability to adjust to all types of players, has given him the ultimate competitive edge. The South Plainfield Boys’ Tennis program is excited for Aiden to lead the Tigers again next season.
Congratulations to seniors Sarai Adams and Tyler Balent for being selected as the GMC Scholar Athletes for South Plainfield.
Students who participated in Artists and Activists, researched the Lost Souls project about a corrupt judge in East Brunswick in 1818 who sold free Black people to slave owners in the south. Our SPMS students wanted to pay tribute to the original memorial quilt created by students in New Brunswick. Our quilt is meant to not only remember those who were sold in the slave ring, but all people of color who are affected by violence in their lives.
