As Freshmen, they got to see McCabe, Dalton et al capture the Prep's first-ever National relay titles.  As Seniors, they help solidify the Prep's place among the Nation's best track programs........

Egan, patient as ever, led off in 3:09.1, 5th in a tight pack; Keefer passed rival Farrell and handed off 3rd in 51.6; Doherty quickly took the lead, but also Farrell's Jeff Carbonella with him; Brian split 1:54.6 to Carbonella's 1:54.9; with a one second lead, John Bradley set to work, leading, then trailing anchor Farrell's Dan Lewis for the whole race.  He passed Lewis with 200m to go, gave up the lead with 130m left, then won the last sprint to seal the National Title!  10:14.68 breaks the New York State Catholic HS record set 14 years ago by Bishop Ford (10:17.38)!    Journal News Story

The Hurdlers faced tough competition but ran well, clocking 32.24 to take 8th place--just .07 seconds from winning a medal! 

Saturday, March 11, 2006: Heartbreak, mixed with pride, for the Shuttle Hurdle Relay, as they take 7th at Nike Indoor Nationals in Maryland by only .02 seconds.  Despite missing medals this weekend by a combined .09 seconds, hurdlers Marcos Ferrer, Mike McCabe, Brian Andreycak, Chris Palicka and Mohamed Kanu performed like the stars they are: owners of all of the School records for all four varieties of Shuttle Hurdle Relays!  Also of note is the 6 seconds Jon Bednarz spent in competition today.  He took one jump at 13'6.25", cleared it easily and qualified for Sunday's final
