Track Notes

- On a weekend of many exceptional performances, Freshman Robert Navarro ran scorching 200s of :25.1 and :24.6 to anchor his Frosh 800m relays.  The :24.6 represents the fastest indoor freshman 200 for the Prep in 12 years.

-The Sophomores continue to scare their competitors more and more each week.  This time with some frightening 800m PRs: Casey – 2:08.5, Fitzpatrick – 2:09.9, Cosgrove – 2:10.2, Dongallo – 2:14.3, and Ketcham – 2:21.8.

-On the Varsity level, major personal records were established by Rey Mendez (3 PRs in the 400, 600, and 1000m) and Shot Putter Chris Crowley (2-foot PR).

-Special congratulations to Freshman Frank Petronella, who captured third place at the CHSAA Freshman Challenge in the tough 55m Dash.  Also, Frosh Robert Finnerty showed considerable intestinal fortitude with his impressive sub-12 minute 3200m.

-The editor has no choice but to commend ALL of the above as this week’s co-MIPs.
