CALDWELL, NJ — Mount St. Dominic sophomore Ciaran Fernandez was able to toss her way to this week’s State Meet of Champions after coming in fourth place in the Non-Public A meet at Stockton University on May 31.
Fernandez’s best throw was 105-feet, 5 inches that was good for this week’s SMOC at Pennsauken High School. “Fernandez going as a sophomore is incredible,” said Mount St. Dominic Academy head coach Robert Osieja, who pointed out that the sophomore is fourth ranked in the state in the event.
Fernandez was not the only Mount St. Dominic Academy athlete to excel at the Non-Public A meet.
