​
With only a week and a half remaining of summer, the Cross Country team was already prepared for what was to come. With Coach Smith and team captains: Dean Riccio; Aidan Glendon; Manny Corona; and Brenda Servin leading the team, it was already decided that Fall 2016 would prove for a great season.
​
The majority of the team ran over the summer, so the conditioning workouts ran smoothly; day after day each and every one of the athletes left it all on the track. However, the Cross Country 2016 team experienced more than just workouts, scheduled meets and practices, they turn out to be a family. One that laughs and plays ultimate frisbee as a warm up, but still gets the job done.
​
Since the first day spent together on August 22nd, the team had more numbers than it has had in the past few years; they’re strong competitors with motivation and drive unlike any other. With a total of 25 members it is a fun and inspiring team.
​
Halfway through the season, the progress that has been made by the athletes is very noticeable. With wins tucked under their belts and medals stored away, the team is ready to tackle anything.
​
The girls team, consist of 9, are currently 5-0 in their dual meets with other schools, proving to be at their A game due to their devotion to the team. The guys team on the other hand isn’t doing too well on the winning scale, but they are proud of what they have accomplished and what they have become.
​
Looking ahead to the rest of the season and for the League meet that will be at Croton Park on Tuesday, October 18th, the girls team has a strong chance of taking the win, but there is still some work to be done and other opponents to defeat along the way. The guys team will do whatever damage they can do as a family, backing each other up and beating the runner ahead of them.
