As the ‘25-’26 school year kicks off, Edison’s fall athletes have begun their season on a great note, showcasing victories, emboldening school spirit, and establishing “what makes Edison High great.” So, to celebrate EHS, two racers have been honored as Athletes of the Week.

Dantes Darts

At the Battle of Ocean County Park, she ran a team-best 21:01 in the 5K, placing 29th in the competition. With her new time, Dantes improved her previous 5K best by over two minutes and is now ranked seventh in the GMC, highlighting her experience and dominance in the sport.
