CHS Graduate Hazel Clark In This Years Olympics!

EUGENE, Ore. — South Orange native Hazel Clark qualified for the U.S. Olympic team in the women’s 800 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials Monday night.

Clark, 30, a three-time NCAA indoor champion who went to Columbia High School in Maplewood, won the finals race in 1 minute, 59.82 seconds.

Her older sister, Joetta, made four Olympic teams, and Clark is also no stranger to reaching the Olympics — she qualified in the 800 meter run at Athens four years ago and in Sydney in 2000.

Congratulations and good luck!!
