For the second consecutive year, the Wheatley School's Varsity Girls Indoor Track team has been recognized by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) for academic excellence and has been declared New York State Champions in its Scholar/Athlete Recognition Award Program. This program, which was initiated by NYSPHSAA 15 years ago, recognizes athletic teams from across New York State for the exemplary academic performance of its team members. Based upon a composite of the grade point averages among team members, team champions are selected for each varsity sport from those high schools across New York State that enter the competition.

The Wheatley School's Varsity Girls Indoor Track team achieved a near-perfect average of 99.543, which was the highest girls indoor track team academic average in New York State. Last year, the Wheatley girls indoor track team captured similar state honors with a composite average of 99.028. This accomplishment is a credit to the athletes who have had to balance the demands of a rigorous academic schedule with the long hours of practice and competition required to successfully compete in interscholastic athletics at the varsity level.

During the season, the team finished third in the Conference Meet, and 10 school records were established. The New York State Championship Banner was presented to the team by a representative of NYSPHSAA.

The Varsity Girls Indoor Track team is the seventh Wheatley varsity athletic team to have received New York State championship honors for academic excellence.
