County Champs - Girls Varsity Track

The Champs after their victory lap.

With some amazing individual performances, the girl's varsity track team brought home the Class AA County Championship to Garden City. That makes back-to-back championships for the girl's varsity track team as they swept through the indoor season this past winter. The meet is run over two days at Mitchell Field and features the best runners and field event competitors in Nassau County. The County is broken down to the three classes (AAA, AA, A) that are representative of the size of schools in each. For the Spring season the girls were competing in Class AA along with rivals Hewlett, Lynbrook, Roslyn and South Side, among others. At the championship meet our girls outdistanced the competition with a total score of 115 points - 34 points better than runner up Hewlett (who, as they did in the division meet, took a 24 point advantage into the meet because of the pole vault event). It was a good first day (52 pts.) and an even better second day (63 pts.) that brought home the championship for coaches Charles Cuzzo and Erica Fregosi. Congratulations Girls And Coaches - Job Well Done!
