“When Greg arrived on campus his freshman year, he was brimming with potential. We felt that if he could stay healthy and train hard, he could be great. He worked and worked and, despite obstacles, he became so much more than we ever could have imagined at that first practice.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior won two national titles at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor this past season. Foster soared a state-record 51 feet, 0.75 inches to win the triple jump, which ranked as the nation’s No. 2 performance among prep competitors in 2022. He captured the long jump with a leap of 25-6.25, while also ranked No. 2 nationally and puts him at No. 2 on the all-time New Jersey list, trailing only Olympic legend Carl Lewis. This past winter, he won both the long jump and triple jump at the Nike Indoor Nationals.
