The Mineola Athletics Booster Club once again celebrated another successful year of Mustang varsity sports with the annual varsity sports dinner, held at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Mineola, organized by Mike DeStefano of the Booster Club.

All of the student-athletes participating in the fall and spring varsity sports were recognized for their athletic achievements and participating in the sports programs. Taking home female athlete of the year honors was Alison Carnabuci, who had a dream season, leading the girls varsity lacrosse team. Dan Medlock received male athlete of the year honors for his accomplishments in different sports.

From the conference championship of the girls lacrosse team and the boys baseball team to the 2nd place conference finishes for the winter track teams to another playoff appearance for the football team, 2003-2004 once again proved to be a memorable year for Mineola.

In girls volleyball, the Mustangs emerged as one of the best Class-B units in Nassau County, beating Clarke with an impressive playoff win.

In baseball, the Mustangs clinched the conference title with a 14-1 win over Roosevelt. The win was the 100th for coach Helms Bohringer.

The biggest cheers of the evening went to the girls lacrosse team, which finished the regular season with a 10-0 conference record en route to the conference championship.

After all the teams received honors, the last awards of the night were for female and male athletes of the year.

The female athlete of the year was a senior scholar athlete in soccer, participated in girls winter track and was All-County in lacrosse setting a school record for goals with 66, including eight in one game and leading the team to the conference championship. She excelled not only on the field but in the classroom with an 89 average. She is also known for her community involvement with the PAL. She will bring her talents next year to Marist College. Mineola director of health, physical education and athletics Ralph Amitrano was proud to announce Alison Carnabuci as female athlete of the year.

The male athlete of the year was named All-County in football and was named a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete, was All-Conference in basketball and was an important part of the baseball team. Alfred University will be benefiting next year from his talents. Mr. Amitrano called Dan Medlock one of the most congenial and friendly people you ever want to meet and then announced him as the male athlete of the year.

It takes many components to make a successful athletic program. The administration, board of education, dedicated coaches, Mineola Athletics Booster Club, parents and students all worked together to make athletics a positive experience at Mineola High School. Congratulations to all the sutdent-athletes and coaches.
