Summer Sizzle Throws Meet - Javelin
“Isaac Herzenberg darted the javelin into rarefied air in his final meet on state soil with a spectacular launch that tacked nearly 10 feet onto his prior career best. The effort not only moved him atop the national list this spring, but he also joined the elite company of the Top 20 throwers in U.S. prep history.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot, 175-pound senior thrower swept the javelin and discus events at the LHSAA Class 2A state meet this past season. At the Summer Sizzle Throws Meet, Herzenberg launched the jav 229 feet, 0 inches, which ranked No. 1 nationally among prep boys competitors this spring and No. 16 in prep history. He is a four-time state champion in the javelin and was also an All-State selection in boys soccer.

Academic Achievement

Herzenberg has maintained a 4.15 weighted GPA in the classroom. He has signed a written letter of athletic aid to compete on scholarship at the University of Nebraska this fall.

Exemplary Character

Herzenberg has volunteered locally on behalf of the Saint Bernard Project, a New Orleans-based disaster recovery nonprofit. He has also donated his time to the Special Olympics through Jefferson Parish Schools and as co-chair of the annual Barkus Parade, which fundraises to support animal welfare.
