Donovan Catholic senior Gavin Oliver made school history on Tuesday, October 13, becoming the first Griffin to win the boys' race at the Ocean County Cross Country Championships.

The Ocean County Cross Country Championships have been held since 1980, but until this year, no Donovan Catholic runner had ever claimed the boys' individual title.

Oliver changed that with an outstanding performance at Ocean County Park, completing the 3.1-mile course in an impressive 15 minutes, 37 seconds and securing a decisive first-place finish.

The historic victory marks a major milestone for Donovan Catholic's cross country program and adds another impressive accomplishment to Oliver's senior season. Oliver's achievement is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence, both as an individual athlete and as a representative of the Griffin community.

Congratulations to Gavin on this historic accomplishment! The entire Donovan Catholic community is proud to celebrate this incredible moment in Griffin athletics history.
