Following the blessing, members of the Maverick track team took to the track for the first lap.
The Maverick track and field team had been looking forward to the refurbishment; the original track was created 11 years ago when the school was built.
�Our track has received a much needed update,� said David DiNicola, head track coach at Archbishop McCarthy High. �Building the track was a very involved process, and its completion will make an enormous difference for our school community and athletic program. Now the best athletes will have the best facility.�
�Our track is quite unique, there aren't many royal blue tracks; only a handful throughout the nation,� said Anthony Massaro, McCarthy�s athletic director.
In other sports news: On Feb. 25, four Lady Mavericks participated in the tri-county Soccer-Max /Soccer-Locker Small School Senior All-Star Game held at American Heritage High School. The Lady Mavericks helped lead the South soccer team to a 4-2 victory over the North team.
Aubri Williamson and Sarah Devore scored goals in the first half; goalie Katty Pasquariello made numerous saves throughout the game and Samantha Gestido was very strong in holding midfield and anchoring a defensive effort which shut out the North team in the second half. Aubri was named MVP of the game.
"I am very proud of these young ladies,� said Mike Sica, girls� soccer coach at McCarthy High and assistant coach for the South All Star team. �They have accomplished so much at Archbishop McCarthy. I could not have been happier to see them play such a large big role in this All Star Game."
