“Joshua Mooney delivered a rarity in Connecticut State Open annals, not only in securing three titles, but in mastering the javelin as part of that rare championship combination. Mooney was at his absolute best over the barriers, winning the 110-meter hurdles title at New Balance Nationals in what was a state-record time.”
