Justice Larkin is Scotch Plains-Fanwood’s Union County Conference Male Athlete of the Week.
At the NJSIAA, North Jersey, Section 2 Group 3 Championships on Feb. 10 at the Bennett Center in Toms River, Larkin, a senior, won the 55-meter hurdles in 7.80.
Larkin was the second seed in the final, but he had a better race than the top seed and crossed the line in first. From a technical standpoint, they weren’t Larkin’s cleanest races, but he was able to power through, maintain focus, and win the race.
While Larkin has won a number of titles in the shuttle hurdle relay, this is his first individual championship at any level.
