I have soooo much Jersey pride and I know you do too! So when I found this list of New Jersey athletes and coaches heading to the Olympics by Carly Baldwin from The Patch, I
had to highlight it! The fact that that Bruce Springsteen s daughter, Jessica Springsteen, is going to Tokyo has us all wondering what Jersey athletes and towns are representing us in the Olympics. Maybe an athlete from your town is representing us in the Olympics this year! So many talented Jersey peeps! Scroll through to see the list.
Track & Field:
Sydney McLaughlin, Dunellen: 400-meter dash. This 2017 graduate of Union Catholic Regional High School crushed a world record earlier this year when she became the first woman to run the 400-meter hurdle in under 52 seconds. McLaughlin was born in Dunellen and raced for Union Catholic. This will be her second Olympics: At just 17, she was the youngest athlete to qualify for the U.S. track and field team in the 2016 summer Olympics in Rio
