For years the John Jay X/Country team has been manning the water stop for the Dutchess Classic. It is a great oppprtunity to cheer our area runners and give them some much needed water along the way.

We will be meeting at Van Wyck at 7.50am…We may need parents to shuttle athletes to the water stop areas.. We should be completed by noon.

Girls team is now officially ranked in the top 10 in Section 1. After Saturday’s performance at the Somers Invitational, the girls are ranked 6th! As quoted on the Armorytrack.com site “Patriots crash S1 top 10 with Danielle Drummond joining sister Gabrielle and Gabrielle Robert for three 100+ TRs en route to 2nd in Big Red D-1 and 87.0 TR.” Side note: TR stands for Tully Runner speed rating. The site tullyrunner.com rates performances from meets across the state based the course and how well a person performs against the competition. (100+ is a strong TR).

Stay focused and healthy ladies! This can be a real successful season ahead!
