On May 7 and 8, Stroudsburg and the rest of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference headed to Whitehall High School to compete in the 2025 EPC Championship Meet. Heading into the event, Stroudsburg was 4-3, both boys and girls.  Ready for a strong meet, sophomore sprinter Keyen Johnson,’27, opened up with a strong second-place finish in the EPC in the 200m, running a 22.38. Johnson has been a top sprinter for the boys and poses a strong argument for the best, being the only sprinter on the team to place this year.  The girls took over this meet, seeing the EPCs’ top sprinter Alena Murray,‘25, run a 12.02 100m to take first place, while in the 200m, Julia Grant, ‘26, also took first. Grant ran a 24.87, PRing to bring that gold medal home. Not only did Grant take home the 200m title, but she also took gold in the 400m. Running a 55.87 in her event, she smoked the competition, becoming one of the most decorated girls’ athletes Stroudsburg has ever seen.
