It was officially announced earlier this week that Joe Maloy from Wildwood Crest will be a part of the three person US national team for triathlon racing at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero!

He was rewarded with an olympic sized parade that traveled through all 4 of the towns of the Wildwoods on Monday!

According to Shore News Today,

Maloy, 30, enjoyed a brilliant cross country and swimming career at Wildwood Catholic before graduating in 2004. He went on to an outstanding four-year swimming career at Boston College and later became an assistant coach there as he earned a masters degree. He also served on the Wildwood Crest Beach Patrol for six summers.

Maybe Joe can help me train for the St. Jude Rock n Roll Half Marathon next year.....

Congratulations Joe!  We'll be cheering you on in Rio!
