Division Championships
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø Boys had an amazing meet at the Division Championships. We won the team qualifier race with a really big team effort. Aidan Rooney finished 4th overall in the race and first for our division, with a time of 18:06.75. Nolan Kata was right with Aidan, finishing 9th in the race with a time of 18:18.95. Darin Cofield and Perry Balsamo were the next two runners to come in for ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, with times of 18:23.71 and 18:35.97. Rounding out the top 7 with personal best finishes were William Goode, Jayden Feliciano, and William Kurka. With times of 19:06.93, 19:32.94, and 19:46.54 in that order. It was an impressive performance on a short period of rest from the weekend meet. After all races were merged we would have finished 9th overall out of 53 teams that ran on Tuesday. We beat 10 teams in the championship race and were knocking on the door of the top 4. With out performance our top 7 have qualified for the state qualifier meet at Sunken Meadow. Brian Sankar ran the 4th fastest time of any Freshman at the course with a time of 18:30.92 in the individual qualifier race. I know with some good practices under our belt and some rest we will turn some heads and hopefully send our team to the state meet.

5 ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø Medals earned this past Saturday! Nolan Kata, Aidan Rooney, and Darin Cofield medaled in the Varsity Boys B race. Nolan finished 19th overall, Aidan finished 27th, and Darin was 29th out of 131 runners participating in that particular race. As a team the varsity boys finished 5th overall, which is amazing considering our captain Perry Balsamo is currently recovering and will be rejoining us shortly. William Goode had an outstanding race as well crossing the line as the 4th ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø runner. William also PB’ed going 19:06 minutes at Sunken Meadow! Not to be outdone. JV had two runners medal. Tyler Hudson and Preston Cotton medaled in the JV race. Overall it was a great step forward in building depth for our team. When we are running on all cylinders and I believe we will have an excellent second half of the season.
