Two swimmers with New Jersey roots have already scored medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, and a third will compete Tuesday as he tries to bring home his own piece of glitter — leaving the Garden State bursting with pride.
Alexy — who stands 6 feet, 8 inches tall and hails from a long line of athletes — enjoyed his own shining moment Saturday when he landed gold as part of the men’s 4×100-meter freestyle relay team. Timothy Lear, Pingry’s head of school, told The Post on Monday that the school began a social-media campaign after the Olympic trials that’s enthralled hundreds of alumni — all of whom now know the names Nic Fink and Matt Fallon.
Fink “was one of the nicest, smartest student athletes that I’ve ever worked with,” Lear said of the school alum, who graduated in 2011 and has somehow managed to balance a marriage and a full-time engineering job with his more athletic pursuits. “Like Nic, he wasn’t solely defined by his incredible potential in the pool,” Lear said. “He was someone who took a lot of pride in his academics.”
