The Kearny High School Boys Varsity Team held their annual awards dinner on May 19 @ Michael's Riverside. It was a great night to honor the boys for their hard work and dedication during the fall season. We honored our Seniors, who have represented the program and community with class for the past four years and recognized our captains that provided outstanding leadership. It was a great night to reflect on our season and honor the members of the team that put forth a tremendous effort in pursuit of our goals. The coaching staff is incredibly proud of this group of young men and we look forward to the emergence of our underclassmen this fall.

The Kearny Esports Mario Kart team, Kardinal Kingdom, competed in the GSES State Championship on May 16. Their path to the tournament was a significant journey that began in the Winter Contenders league before they moved on to compete in the Spring Championship League. Despite being one of the final seeded teams to qualify, Kearny successfully made it to the big stage!
While our team did not move past the opening round, the championship provided an incredible experience for the students. They participated in pickup matches, watched high-level high school and collegiate competition, and connected with college recruiters. The students also particularly enjoyed the Comic section, where it seemed nearly everyone found something to take home.
With such a young and talented roster, Kearny is just getting started—we will definitely be back!
