Inaugural Indoor Track season a success!

The Flying Dragons ran a club team during the Indoor Track season this year. We hope to compete in the PSAL next year, but this year completed successfully in two invitational meets. Practices and meets were held at the amazing New Balance Track & Field Center just a mile from school at the Armory at West 168th Street.

You can find almost 300 photos of our Indoor meets and practices at Fans of the Flying Dragons on Facebook

We're at the Mayor's Cup today, including the boys Championship race

The Dragons will be at the big Mayor's Cup race today, with our varsity getting its first chance to run in the Championship race with 18 of the city's best teams. It's the one chance that we get to run against schools from Catholic and independent schools. The varsity race distance is 2.5 miles, and for freshmen it 1.5 miles. Here's Prasid Gupta in last year's varsity race.

First races this coming week

The boys and girls teams will be facing their first test this coming Monday in the borough-wide Grand Prix #1.  Completing against some of the best teams in the city--Stuyvesant, Laguardia, Hunter, and Beacon--we will get a good sense of where we stand and how much work we have to do. The team is well prepared physically and is mentally focused for Monday's contest.  The citywide Group Run (and Family Picnic) will be a few days later on Saturday, September 26. Here's a first group photo of the team and a link to our updated, and final, team calendar.

And they're off!

Team practices for all runners--Rostered, Provisional, and Prospective--begin Monday August 17.  Meet us before 9:00am in the Bronx on Broadway where the subway steps descend from the 242 St. station. Bring the required Parent Permission and PSAL Sports Medical forms, and be dressed to run!
