Winter Athletic Season Highlights

In her usual unselfish and humble way, Madison Wynbeek became the 2nd basketball player in EC history to record 2,000 points when she scored 30 against Pompton Lakes at home on February 14 in front of a  supportive crowd on senior night! She finished her illustrious career as the all time leader for the program in rebounds and blocked shots, leading the Eagles to 75 wins in her four years. Madison will be missed as we follow her career in college but the Eagles have hope for the future as coach Joey Wilmot’s middle school team posted an 11-7 record while playing a very competitive schedule.

Coach Aaron Goldstein’s bowling team enjoyed it’s best season in program history with a 4th place finish in the 10 team NJIC Colonial Division, 6th in the Passaic County championships and 3rd in The North 1A Sectional Tournament! Senior Rylan deWaal Malefyt led the way with AJ Lopez, Daniel Buckles, Alan Mao and Evans Yang providing needed depth for a great team effort and big step forward towards becoming an upper echelon program to be reckoned with in the years ahead!

The winter track team once again boasted some impressive showings and outstanding individual efforts. Junior pole vaulter Grace Kellogg became a state group champion with her personal best effort, while sophomore Matthias Cortes vaulted to a 2nd place finish and Emily Byrnes returned to the state meet of champions in the 800m! These athletes and many more eagerly anticipate the opportunity for more record breaking performances in the upcoming spring outdoor season!

The athletic department would like to say thank you to all who came out and supported our basketball community nights and especially Amy Brooks and all those who volunteered in the swag shop! These nights continue to be a highlight of the winter season for teams and spectators alike and are of great benefit to the program and community. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
