2023 staff appreciation day ceremony

On March 3, The Lawrenceville School recognized and celebrated the many accomplishments of its staff. While much of their work goes on behind the scenes -- from public safety to finance and from dining services to information technology -- Lawrenceville would not be the special place it is without the contributions of these vital members of the School community.

Audrey Cheng '25 pole vault

Lawrenceville’s indoor track team is sending eight student-athletes to compete at the 2023 U.S. Army Eastern States Championships Big Apple Invitational, to be held March 1 at the New Balance Track and Field Center at the Armory in New York City. Representing Big Red will be Jolie Brasswell ’24 (girls’ long jump), Audrey Cheng ’25 (girls’ pole vault) Gabrieanne Chery ‘24 (girls’ high jump), Nishka Malik ‘24 (girls’ 800 meter run), Emmy Mercy ‘25 (girls’ pole vault), Malin Phelan ’23 (girls’ two mile run), Rhianna Scott ’25 (girls long jump), Sofia Swindell ’25 (girls’ 55-meter hurdles and 200 meter dash).  

The Big Red Sports Network caught up with Cheng before she headed off to New York. Cheng has been on an absolute tear as the winter post-season approaches, breaking the School’s girls’ pole vault record on February 23 at 11’2” – it was her second personal record in five days.
