Two solid weeks

We just finished our second week of summer training with fully half the team in regular attendance.  We've welcomed seven new freshman and may have as many as ten more on the way. The new sophomores are doing well also, as are our returning veterans. In our time trials, Matt Brown has been leading the pack with a 6:01 pace in a 1.6 mile distance, and Kleant Daci with a 0:49 in the 330m final sprint at Van Cortlandt Park. 

Our practices now move to school, at 4pm, for the remainder of the season.  

A reminder: parents are invited to our upcoming Parent Meeting & Trail walk.  Details are on the Parents Info page. 

Lastly, here are some photos from our week-ending frisbee game. 

Off and running!

We had an excellent First Practice. There were 21 returning Dragons and five new freshman for a total of 26. The full team is about 50 this year. 

The freshman were Damar, Roberto, Jason, Chaeyoung, Allan, and Samantha and I'd like to welcome them and applaud their early start to the season. 

To assess the fitness of the team we did a 1.5 mile time trial on the freshman course. Matt Brown came way in front at 10:00. The rest of the top ten were, in order, Michael A, Julian, Lucian, Toby, Sam H, Sam B, Fernando, Brandon, and Boris. 

First Practice on August 19th!

First Practice is a special day where we reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and see where everyone's speed and endurance stands.  

We will be meeting at Van Cortlandt Park at the bottom of the 1 train steps at 242nd Street. We depart there at 9:00am sharp. Please be early. Click on the link below for more details.

If you are missing any paperwork (PSAL Sports Medical form, or Parent permission form) please bring those with you.  Bring at least the Parent Permission form and you can partially participate. The Medical Form is required before you can do any running, however.
