Port Jeff Athletes Commit to Colleges

Royal Pride shined through as the Port Jefferson School District’s athletic department hosted a college-commitment ceremony on June 3 for student-athletes who have chosen to continue their athletic journeys at some of the nation’s top colleges this fall.

During the ceremony, the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School seniors penned their names to college commitment letters as proud parents, coaches and school administrators watched.

“These athletes have all made an enormous impact on the Port Jefferson athletic community by either being on championship teams or by setting school, state, and personal records. They each have what it takes to succeed as college athletes. I wish them the best of luck,” Port Jefferson Athletic Director Debra Ferry said.

Congratulations to the following students:

• James Burke, Georgetown University (Track)
• Tristin DeVincenzo, University of Pennsylvania (Wrestling)
• Shannon Fee, SUNY New Paltz (Softball)
• Emilie Harrington, Hunter College (Volleyball)
• Allegra Fils-Aime, Wesleyan University (Track)
• Alden Mohacsi, Dickinson College (Track)
