A legendary athlete and coach from a prominent Ocean City family, four very successful athletes, a champion swim coach, the area’s trailblazing athletic trainer and an undefeated state championship team will all be inducted into the OCHS Sports Hall of Fame in ceremonies Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. in the Hughes Performing Arts Center at the high school.

John Carey was a multi-sport athlete at OCHS in the 1930s, excelling in football and track. In his senior year, he won three events in the New Jersey State track meet. Carey later returned to coach football, basketball and track as both head coach and assistant. The city’s primary sports field – Carey Stadium – is named in honor of him and his brother, Fenton.

Lloyd Hayes won more swim meets than any other OCHS coach, surpassing the total of Fenton Carey with his 125-44 career record. Every one of his 11 teams had a winning record. In the last 50 years, OCHS boys swim teams have had double-figure wins 12 times. Eight of them were by teams coached by Hayes.

Drew Breckenridge never scored a touchdown, hit a home run or made a three-pointer for Ocean City High School. But he made sure those who could were in the best of health. He was the first athletic trainer in Cape-Atlantic League history and tended to athletes for 39 years. He was also a mentor to many of the trainers who followed.

Abbey Hartman was one of the most successful distance runners in OCHS history. She was a two-time state champion in cross country and the Raiders were 41-5 in dual meets during her career. In track, she was a state champion and the Raiders were 37-0 during her four years, winning three South Jersey and two state titles. She also won two state championships during indoor track.

Shelly Meister was the highly-successful goalie on OCHS field hockey teams that finished 38-9-8 and made the first of many appearance by the Raiders in the South Jersey championship game. She shut out 39 teams in those three years. Meister was also on the OCHS All-1990s girls basketball team and was a multi-event champion in track.

Ed Adamczyk was an All-South Jersey football player who held the school scoring record when he graduated. He also was a successful swimmer and a multi-event champion in track. He won 11 varsity letters in his career, just one less than the maximum, and was captain of all three teams as a senior.

Maggie Wallace holds six OCHS individual swim records and is part of five school relay records. She was a state champion in both the 200 and 500 meter freestyle, setting an all-time state record in the 500. The Raiders were 42-6 with Wallace in the pool, winning three South Jersey championships and one state title.. She was named New Jersey Girls Swimmer of the Year in 2018 and Cape May County Female Athlete of the Year that same year.

Also chosen for induction was the 2015-16 girls swim team (below), which is Ocean City’s only state champion in that sport. Those Raiders finished 14-0, only the fourth undefeated, untied state champion in any OCHS sport. They defeated Chatham, winners of 103 straight meets, in the state final. The team was coached by Steve Warrington and led by Amanda Nunan, Maggie Wallace, Ryann Styer, Amber Glenn, Aly Chain, Aleva Parker and Andrea Teofanova.

There will be no admission charge Sunday to attend the ceremonies.
