GALLOWAY, NJ – Stockton University senior Michaela Pomatto (Egg Harbor Twp./EHT) was announced this week as one of 42 spring-sport student-athletes who received an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. The awardees came from all three NCAA divisions, with the list consisting of 21 men and 21 women.
 
Pomatto will receive a one-time award of $10,000, which will go toward her graduate study in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tennessee. The senior was selected from the pool of applicants based on a combination of her academic and athletic success at Stockton.
 
Established in 1964, the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship program promotes and encourages graduate education by recognizing the Association’s most accomplished student-athletes. Each year, the NCAA awards 126 postgraduate scholarships to student-athletes who have completed their final year of competition. The scholarships are distributed three times annually — in the fall, winter and spring.
 

Pomatto competed as a thrower for the Stockton women’s track & field team for three years following one year at Ursinus College as a freshman. She specialized in the discus, earning numerous accolades highlighted by an All-America Second Team honor in 2024.
 
Pomatto was a four-time conference champion in the discus, winning the event for Stockton at three straight NJAC Championships (2023-25) following a Centennial Conference title in 2022. She also qualified for USTFCCCA All-Region honors three times and earned three NJAC Field Athlete of the Week awards during her career.
 

Pomatto set the school record in the discus with a throw of 47.15 meters at the 2024 All-Atlantic Region Track & Field Championships. She won the event 13 times in her four college seasons, including 11 victories as an Osprey.
 
In addition to her athletic accomplishments, Pomatto was a College Sports Communicators Academic All-District, USTFCCCA All-Academic Individual and NJAC All-Academic Honorable Mention student-athlete twice each.
 

The Wexford team faced two fierce challenges, rising to the occasion with skill, spirit and incredible teamwork.

A hard-fought semi-final victory over North Dublin set the stage for a high-stakes showdown with Clonard of Belfast in the final.

With nerves of steel and hearts full of determination, the Wexford boys delivered a performance to remember, emerging victorious and claiming the coveted national title.

The team’s success is a testament to the talent and commitment of its young stars:

Phoenix Prochaska, Rowan Barrett, Oliver Ainsworth, Conan O’Grady, Rory O’Hanlon, Conal McCarthy, Daniel Jordan, Ben Kehoe, Oliver McEvoy, and Pádraig McCarthy.

Each player gave it their all and a special congratulations goes to Daniel Jordan, who was named Male MVP of the tournament for his outstanding contribution.

Head coach Murt praised the team’s resilience and growth, saying: “This result didn’t happen overnight. These players have been training consistently all year, showing maturity beyond their age, and improving week by week.

“The way they handled pressure, supported one another, and kept their focus was truly inspiring. We’ve built not just a team, but a foundation for Wexford’s future in water polo that is really putting Wexford on the map as a county of swimming excellence.”

This milestone win is the result of tireless effort from both players and coaching staff. Heartfelt thanks go to coach Murt for his leadership and belief in this team, and to George, Thomas and Philip for their skill, time and commitment in preparing the boys for this achievement.

Niall Reck, Chairman of Wexford Swimming & Water Polo Club, added: “This is a fantastic achievement for our club. Having one player represent Ireland at the European Championships earlier this year, and now a full Under-12 team becoming All-Ireland champions, the future is looking very bright.

“This is not just a win for the team, it’s a win for the whole club and community. It shows the strength of our youth development and coaching pathway.

“We’re so proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re excited about what’s next for Wexford Water Polo.”

This landmark victory isn’t just a trophy, it’s a symbol of dedication, growth, and the rising tide of talent coming from Wexford. With this historic win, the club has firmly established itself as a force in Irish water polo, and the journey is only just beginning.

2025 Pulaski County High School Youth Volleyball Camp

Pulaski County — Pulaski County Parks and Recreation is proud to announce the continued growth and success of its youth volleyball program, a key part of the county’s long-term strategy to support athlete development and strengthen the pipeline to high school sports. Since launching recreation youth volleyball in 2021, the department has seen a remarkable 165% increase in registrations, with continued expansion and innovation planned as the county looks toward the opening of the Pulaski County Sportsplex in 2026.

In just four years, the program has grown from 101 annual youth registrations in 2021 to 268 in 2024, as Pulaski County Parks and Recreation worked intentionally to expand access and create year-round opportunities for athletes to play and develop.

“We recognize the critical role we play in the early stages of athlete development,” said Jenna Kinder, Assistant Director of Pulaski County Parks and Recreation. “Our department is not only introducing youth to the sport of volleyball, but we’re actively building pathways for skill development, competitive growth, and long-term participation on Pulaski County’s VHSL

teams.”

The department’s most recent spring league in 2024 saw a record-setting 121 participants, a direct result of strategic planning to offer multiple seasonal touchpoints for youth engagement.

“Adding a spring season allowed us to double the number of playing opportunities each year, giving kids more time on the court to improve their fundamentals and love for the game,” said CJ Burgis, Sports Coordinator for Pulaski County Parks and Recreation. “It’s a simple change with a big impact—it opens the door for consistent growth and deeper athlete development.”

The department’s newest collaboration with Pulaski County High School also led to the first Youth Summer Volleyball Camp, where 28 young athletes trained under the guidance of PCHS coaches and players during an intensive two-day experience. “This partnership is more than just about growing numbers—it’s about building a culture of excellence from the ground up,” said Duane Minnick, Junior Varsity Head Coach of Pulaski County High School Volleyball. “When we invest in athletes early, we create momentum and confidence that carries through middle and high school competition.”

The growth strategy doesn’t stop here. With the anticipated opening of the Pulaski County Sportsplex in 2026, the county will add eight indoor volleyball courts, dramatically increasing capacity for off-season training, tournaments, and year-round access for local athletes.

“The Sportsplex will be a game-changer,” said Shay Dunnigan, Director at Pulaski County Parks and Recreation. “Not only will it provide more opportunities for our younger athletes to hone their skills throughout the year, but it will also elevate the overall performance of our high school teams. We’re grateful for the commitment the Pulaski County Board of Supervisors has made to this long-term vision.”

Pulaski County Parks and Recreation remains committed to providing high-quality recreational opportunities that inspire youth participation and support the broader goals of school athletic programs. As volleyball continues to surge in popularity across the region, Pulaski County is proud to be setting the standard for how local governments and school systems can collaborate to build something lasting—for both athletes and the community.
