The 22nd annual Carter Cup—the Metropolitan Golf Association's Junior Stroke Play Championship—was held at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York on Tuesday, August 6. The invitational event is named in memory of Michael P. Carter '00, an accomplished junior player and standout member of the Green Wave golf team who died in a car accident in 2002. Michael was a junior club champion at both Baltusrol and Winged Foot Golf Club, as well as a promising player on the Penn State golf team.

The Carter Cup features 46 top junior golfers from the metropolitan area typically playing 36 holes in the summer heat on Winged Foots two championship courses—a rigorous test of mental and physical endurance. This year, Delbarton was represented by Green Wave golfer Grady Gore '26 who is pictured with Mary Lou Carter P'00 and her daughters Aly and Kelly.

The annual tournament ultimately was deemed a tie between Owen Jessup of New York and Jack Chung of Connecticut when play was suspended during the second 18 holes due to inclement weather.
