In a region steeped in hard-nosed competition and athletic pride, few athletes stood taller in 2024–25 than Dunmore’s Tommy Clark.

A three-sport athlete. A school record-holder. An All-American. And now, one of Agape Freedom Sports’ Top 10 Athletes of the Year.

⚽ The Midfield Maestro:

Clark was the heartbeat of Dunmore’s boys soccer program the last few years, and his impact went beyond just one standout season. he graduated as Dunmore’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing a mark that stood for decades.

A three-time All-Region selection, Clark’s senior year was his best yet. His skill, vision, and leadership earned him the honor of Scranton Times Division II MVP, while also capturing the attention of college programs.

Committed to Lafayette:

In a decision that highlighted both his athletic ability and academic promise, Clark officially committed to play NCAA Division I soccer at Lafayette College. The Leopards compete in the Patriot League and have built a reputation for developing talent with strong discipline and technical prowess — a perfect fit for Clark’s game.

“It’s just a good mix of everything I was looking for,” Clark said in an interview with The Times-Tribune. “The team atmosphere, the culture, the coaching staff — it felt like the right place.”

His resume backs it up: a proven goal scorer, high-IQ midfielder, and relentless competitor who never takes a play off.

🇺🇸 All-American Selection:

Clark’s senior year accolades reached national levels. In November, he was selected as one of just 40 players nationwide to compete in the prestigious High School All-American Game, becoming the only representative from eastern Pennsylvania.

He trained with and competed against top players from across the country — an experience that sharpened his confidence and confirmed what Dunmore already knew: Tommy Clark is among the best.

🏃‍♂️ Track & Field Standout

In the spring, Clark showcased his elite speed and athleticism on the track, running a blistering 23.71 seconds in the 200-meter dash during district prelims. His ability to excel in multiple sports only adds to his legacy as one of the most complete athletes Dunmore has seen.

Lasting Legacy:

Tommy Clark leaves Dunmore as a record-setter, All-American, multi-sport leader, and the definition of a student-athlete. Quiet in demeanor but fierce in competition, he carried himself with humility, work ethic, and focus from day one.

Whether slicing through defenders on the soccer pitch or sprinting down the track, Clark gave his school and community something to cheer for — and something to be proud of.

As he steps onto the field at Lafayette, the message is clear: Tommy Clark is far from finished — he’s just getting started.
