"Track and Field News" selected its 2003 All-American High School Track and Field Team, and Freehold Borough High School’s Debra Vento was one of the five high jumpers named to the team.

Vento, now a freshman at Duke University, repeated as the NJSIAA Meet of Champions winner, both indoors and outdoors, during the year. The state champion had the second best jump in state history, 5-10 1/2, while winning those back-to-back state championships. Vento capped her scholastic career by winning the Adidas Outdoor National Championship, equaling her personal best, 5-10 1/2, in Raleigh, N.C.
