The cross-country team has had a great start this year, fielding five girls and five boys ready to run the grueling 5K race. In the first two meets, Loreley Gomez and Andrew Carpenter finished first for the team at Bethpage State Park. Coach Gallo expects the team to continue to improve times as the season progresses and also hopes to have Loreley compete at the Eastern Nationals.

Rounding off the boys' team are Peter Michaleas, Stephen Danabrega, Ryan O'Connor and Nelson Melgar. The girls' team consists of Jessica Lechtenberg, Rebecca Salentino, Maura Grenada and Kristin O'Connor.
