In an interview with NJ.com, Tarkowska said, “The expectations were different as everyone was coming after me. There was that pressure, and to overcome it, I’m happy with that, too.”
After defeating Voorhees’ Adriana Rodriguez in back-to-back finals, Julia became the second person in HWS history to earn two MVP titles.
