XC Notes

* This week’s MIP award goes to Junior John Feerick, who lowered his personal best time by 57 seconds. Congrats, Juan. ( MIP= Most Improved Performance)

 

* Other upperclassmen running personal records- Jose Garcia, Steve Famularo, Mark Sternefeld, and John Mignone. Juniors Dave Guerrero and Ray Medina were only 3 and 9 seconds off their best times, respectively. Such depth will most certainly aid captains Mike Chang and Kevin Neenan in their quest for a sectional championship.

 

* Some sterling debuts were made. 13 Freshman were given a not-so-cozy welcome by Van Cortlandt Park, but performed admirably. Upperclass first timers included Hector Cruz, Mark Lozina, Mike Fink, Matt George, Vin Romano, and Carlos Nunez. Welcome aboard.

 

* In the Sophomore Race, Claude Rossignol, Mike Fink, and Brian Etheridge finished 2nd, 5th, and 7th, respectively. Hade their been a team score officially kept, the Sophs would have finished 2nd only 5 points behind Molloy H.S.
