Athletic Excellence


The 6-foot-2, 275-pound junior throws specialist won the national championship in the discus at New Balance Nationals Outdoor this past season and took second in the shot put to earn dual All-American honors. At the Non-Public Group A state meet, Shue launched the shot a personal-best 69 feet, 2 inches, a winning effort that ranked No. 6 nationally among boys prep competitors this spring at the time of his selection. He also PR’d at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions, this time in the discus, winning with a throw of 205-4, which ranked tied for seventh nationally. 

Academic Achievement


Shue has maintained a 97.63 GPA in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.

Exemplary Character


Also an offensive lineman on the school’s state championship football team as well as an All-State wrestling performer, Shue has volunteered locally by working with aspiring wrestlers in grades K-8, and on behalf of the West Milford Youth Track Club Camp. He also has donated his time measuring throws distances and recording results at area youth track and field meets.
