📰 News we're reading
• Conference-by-conference boys swimming wish list for the new year (nj.com subscription) — Livingston High’s boys swim team enters 2026 much improved, currently sitting third in the powerful North 1, Group A section and led by standouts Marton Sarkany and Wayne Li. A tightly packed field that includes Columbia, Passaic Tech, Ridgewood, and River Dell means the Lancers have a realistic shot to make noise in the state tournament if they keep surging.
