The Class of 2025 Is Unveiled

Every year a number of local high school athletes continue their athletic careers in addition to being students. As has been customary in the past, we salute those who either live in or attend school in Burbank and will be continuing to work on developing their skills in sports while enhancing their educational objectives.

Here are those that will represent our local community from the class of 2025,

Burbank

The Bulldogs are led by pole vaulter Ogden Lucsik, who was one of the best in the nation as a junior, and got a late start to his senior year due to a broken foot. Lucsik will be the only competing at Cornell University, but he is amongst four Burbank boys who are attending the Ivy League school in New York. Ironically, he will be attending the same university and competing in the same event as Burroughs 2021 grad Eli Gault-Crabb, who jumped 16-feet-6 inches in setting the Bears’ school record.

Lucsik, who holds the Bulldog school record at 16-0, will be essentially taking Gault-Crabb’s spot on the Cornell roster.
