New sports on horizon; district getting ready for field hockey and wrestling

With two new sports slated to begin this school year, there is still much to do, school officials said, including setting rosters and final schedules, and finding space to play home games.

The school board voted in June to add fall field hockey and winter wrestling to the school's sports roster. Although space for home games is still an issue, said Cranbury School Business Administrator Carolyn Eversole, coaches have been hired.

Cathy Elliott, currently a physical and health education teacher for the Cranbury School, will coach field hockey. Sean Cox has been hired as a physical and health education teacher for the fall and will coach wrestling. Coaches will receive $3,250 per sport.

The accommodate the sports, the district is planning to build a field for field hockey and purchase mats to make up a 38- by 38-foot wrestling area in the school's auditorium.
