IHA Holds 5K to Celebrate its 50th Anniversary

 of Washington Township hosted a Golden Jubilee 5K Run/Walk at Darlington Park in Mahwah Sunday.

The community came out, with about 40 runners in the race and spectators watching their progress throughout the High School Championship Course.

While the race raised funds for the IHA, this "event was more of a community builder," according to Tara Driggs, the principal's administrative assistant.

Awards were given to the first three male, female and IHA student finishers of the race.

The overall first place finisher was Rob Decarlo, who completed the 5K in 19:21. The two male finishers behind him were Sean Spidle and Christopher Puntasecca.

The first place female finisher, and third place finisher overall, was Meghan Decarlo. Behind her in the female category were Chernalis O'Connor, and Linda Puntasecca.
