TOM FINK


CLASS OF '78


YEAR OF INDUCTION: 2007



Fink centered a forward line that struck terror in opposing teams throughout Mercer County and the state, as the Spartans went 24-0-0 and rolled to the NJSIAA Group IV title. Fink collected 34 goals and 24 assists during that season, and was named All-American and the NJSIAA New Jersey Schoolboy Player of the Year. He was also the VFW Athlete of the Year and won Kearny’s Fred Coggin Memorial Award as New Jersey’s Outstanding Soccer Player. In 2000, the Newark Star-Ledger named him to New Jersey’s 1970’s All-Decade team.

Fink went on to North Carolina State University, where he made the ACC’s All-Freshman team, and earned All-ACC honors for two years. In 1989, Fink was inducted into the Mercer County Hall of Fame, and in 2002 entered the New Jersey High School Hall of Fame.
