Championship Week: A Remarkable Finish to Peck’s Spring Sports Season

League championships. A county title. An undefeated season. School records. Historic firsts.

Over a whirlwind forty-eight hours, Peck student-athletes delivered one standout performance after another to close out one of the strongest spring seasons in recent memory. The excitement began on Monday, May 18, as boys lacrosse and track and field headed into their Middle School Athletic Conference (MSAC) Final Championships, with girls lacrosse making a historic debut in the Greater Morris County final. That championship energy carried right into day two, with baseball advancing to its first-ever MSAC final and girls lacrosse returning home to defend their MSAC conference crown.

“It’s been an incredible spring, and the results have been truly remarkable. But as we talk about all the time: results are just a byproduct. The real accomplishments are that the students approached each day with focus and intention. We’re proud of all of the students’ commitment to the hard work that led to such a memorable season,” said Peck Athletic Director Scott Dobbs.

Boys Lacrosse Claims the MSAC Title

On the heels of a spectacular semifinal victory over Montclair Kimberley Academy, boys lacrosse captured the program’s first league title in recent memory with a dominant win against Gill St. Bernard’s. Led by captain Nolan B. ’26, the team capped off a standout year defined by disciplined defense, balanced scoring, and steady teamwork.
