Mayor McCormick honors Woodbridge residents who medaled at New Jersey Senior Olympics

Mayor John McCormick presented mayor’s citations Tuesday recognizing Woodbridge residents who earned medals at the New Jersey Senior Olympics, naming multiple gold, silver and bronze winners in events from bowling to track.

The awards, McCormick said, recognized athletes who competed in last September’s Games and who will have the opportunity to compete again this September. He called the event a source of local pride and invited medalists to remain for photographs after the meeting.

Dozens of residents were named during the recognition, including winners in bowling, swimming, darts, horseshoes and archery. The mayor noted Woodbridge’s community facilities — the community center, local fields and the club at Woodbridge — as strengths that helped the township host senior-sport events.

The presentation concluded with applause and an offer for group photos; the mayor and council did not take further action on the item.
