- Once again, there was simply an astounding amount of improvement this week. The Sophs gave us a great showing at their sectional champs with 12 of 13 hitting PRs. Every Freshman ran their fastest time over the Frosh hills, and many upperclassmen gave us Herculean efforts at VCP. Standouts among these were Senior Vic Rodriguez and Sophomore Anthony Batista, both of whom literally made minutes disappear. Also, Junior John Fink deserves special mention for being the fourth runner under the 15 minute barrier this season.
- A special congratulations to Captain Reynaldo Mendez for breaking Fordham Prep’s 22 year old Cross Country record for Van Cortlandt Park. The old record of 12:40.2 was set by Brian Faraci in 1970. Rey’s performance also puts him in the top 50 races ever run at Van Cortlandt. Well done!
