A pair of Foundation Academy track-and-field athletes made history for the Lions at the Dr. Baptiste Invitational at West Orange on March 9.

Sprinter CJ Bronaugh set the Foundation record in the 100-meter dash, finishing the race with a time of 10.58 seconds and winning the gold medal. In the long jump, Cameron Baseden set the school record with a distance of 6.6 feet, which was good enough to bring home the silver.

Elsewhere at the meet for the Lions, Bronaugh, along with his older brother JT Bronaugh, Zephy Rogers and Daniel Jean, won the 4x100-meter relay. While Foundation sprinter Lee Peters won the 200-meter dash and finished third in the 100-meter dash.
