Coach Wasnik was one of the most caring and beloved Track and Field Coaches ever in New Jersey High School Athletics….. and always found the time to encourage and inspire each one of his athletes. His “spirit of positivity” still rings the rafters at our old pole vault barn. Join us to celebrate his legacy.
