Athletics

Cross Country 

Students in grades 3-8 are invited to join the SMP Cross Country team. We compete in the North Jersey Catholic School Track Association and run against schools from Morris, Essex, Union, and Somerset counties. Runners are grouped by grade and run distances of 0.75 – 2 miles. Practices are held two afternoons a week at Gardner Field, where parent volunteers coach the children to build endurance, to learn the basics of pacing, and most of all, to have fun. Meets are held on weekends in September and October, including our home meet, the St. Mary’s Prep Halloween Meet at Greystone Park. No running experience is necessary- all you need are a good pair of running sneakers and a water bottle!    

Basketball

Basketball is the biggest sport at Saint Mary’s with over 60 children signed up to play on our 6 teams this season. Last year both our Varsity boys team and our Varsity girls team played in their respective championship games in the Morris County Catholic Basketball League. Our season starts in October and continues through to the playoffs in early March. Students in grades 4-8 are eligible to play. Each teams plays 10 to 16 regular season games followed by the playoffs. Our teams are coached by dedicated parent volunteers and are supported by our talented Cheerleading squads.
