Also, the date for those of you who need physicals is: 8/13 at John Jay from 8am - 12pm.

Everyone should be starting to get some miles in. Start a Log book. Your log book should have :

1. Number of Miles or Number of Minutes

2. Location of run

3. Weather

4. How did you feel

We will be asking for everyones log book over the summer. There will be a penalty if log book is not handed in. Please pass this on to whomever will be running this season. Veteran runners need to get in 300-500 miles this summer. New and freshmen runners should gauge there ability by the number of minutes. Your goal should be to be able to run for 50 minutes by the end of August. Any questions please call or email one of us coaches. The 1st practice will be on July 8th @6pm at John Jay Track.

Karlie Dean finished off her high school career at the State Meet. This was her goal to make States in both Winter and Spring. She ran the 400m in on a Friday afternoon. Lets congratulate Karlie on her astounding career!

We have rescheduled the banquet. It is Wednesday June 25th at 6pm in the cafeteria. You should have gotten a phone call from one of the captains telling you what to bring. If you have not, please contact us.

The Spring Sports Awards Banquet was cancelled for today due to the heat. It is not being rescheduled. We will update you as to what we will do instead.

NEW SCHOOL RECORD! The meet was running 1/2 hour ahead of schedule, 2 members of the relay team were coming down after SAT’s, and it was hotter than ..well you know what! It looked like they were not going to make it, but they did. We were just hoping  to run a good time, around 3:38. The previous best was 3:40. Well the guys put their best effort together and flew around the track (and let me tell you they were flying). They ran a personal best of 3:35.49. The team was seeded like, 15th and we placed 4th over all. It was great that the only Senior on the team, Mike Mosca, will have his name down as a school record holder and he did it on his last High School meet of his career. Now isn’t that something!!! Here are the splits:

Kevin Joyce - 52.7

Mike Mosca - 24.2

Kevin Bunce - 22.9

Ryan Gomba - 1:56.1

Also, Mike Clifford ran a gutsy 400m/hurdle race on Sat. in 58.3  Just falling short of  the school record by 3 tenths of a sec.

1. Awards Dinner Monday June 9th at 6:00pm.

2. We will be selling t-shirts at the banquet for anyone interested.

3. PLEASE bring your uniform to the dinner Monday. We need uniforms from everyone. If not, it will cost you.
