For the second year in a row, Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science students Megan Ebinger, Cailean Connelly, Michelle Karamian, Caroline Liebmann and Amalie Werner have taken first place in the highly competitive New Jersey Envirothon, banking another $1,000 each for the win.

The group, along with advisers Adam Sprague and Dave Werner, will next represent New Jersey in the North American Envirothon competition July 28 to Aug. 3.
