2 Wayne Student-Athletes Receive NJSIAA Scholarships

WAYNE, N.J. — Olivia Lozy and Catherine Kluge each recently received a $1,000 scholarship from ShopRite for their accomplishments on and off the field.

Lozy, an accomplished volleyball and Lacrosse player, and Kluge, were two of 217 high school student-athletes honored by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association with $172,000 in college scholarships. She was named First-Team All Passaic County for volleyball.

Kluge, a West Milford resident, is one of only nine people to receive a full four-year scholarship from the United States Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. An emergency medical technician, she will major in nursing at Villanova University.

Each NJSIAA member high school selected one senior as their student-athlete of the year. Those students then attended the luncheon where their names were randomly selected to receive a scholarship.

More than $7,500 was awarded to 10 Passaic County student-athletes at the luncheon.
