Spring Track Newsletter May 12-15,1993
All levels shone this weekend at the Sectionals. We crowned two sectional champions and took third in the Freshman Team Score. Best of all, however, were the numerous personal bests recorded – a testament to the weeks of hard work beginning to pay off. 17 championship medals were brought back to the Bronx.

- For finally putting all of his attributes together in one race, Sophomore Andy Hinman and his 14 second PR in the Mile earn MIP honors. Following close behind are the performances of Dan Dengler (38 sec. PR in the 3200), Robert Weitzman (6 sec. PR in the 800), and Len Kaledzi and Mike Torzilli (double Prs). Special mention to the Fosh 3200 Relay for its PR “Grand Slam”, and to Marcello Lippiello and Jim Hurley for their matching PRs in the 200 and 800.
- Finally, we all wish Captain Rey Mendez luck as he prepares to compete in Saturday’s New York Games at Columbia’s Wein Stadium. His record-breaking 1:51.9 should be an intimidating factor for his unlucky opponenets.
