Beginning at the left-hand side, next to Father Michael, is Anthony Palumbo, who is committed to Hamilton College to play baseball. Palumbo is one of two Hamilton commits this year. He is the second player to commit to Hamilton for baseball in the last two years, following Louis Friedrich ‘24.
On the right of Palumbo is Asher Testa, a lacrosse player committed to Colgate University. Testa represents a less subscribed university for Delbarton athletes, but one that boasts strong academics and a liberal arts education.
Asher Testa is followed by Peter Donini, who is committed to The University of Michigan for track and field. Michigan has been the home of recent Delbarton alumni and football commit Cole Morgan, but Donini has achieved the impressive feat of committing to the highly touted school for track and field.
On his left is William Pedicano, a five-star lacrosse LSM committed to Duke University. After flipping his commitment from the University of Virginia, Pedicano represents Delbarton Lacrosse well, as many Green Wave players have gone on to play for the Duke Blue Devils, including Jake Macce ‘24 (football).
