Sprinting into Track: North County Roundup

By Roy Arnesen and Isaac Cass

Boys

Kennedy Catholic

Key Members: Dylan Schuck, Brandon Wynne, Jesse Aprile, Michael Campobasso, and Jude Murphy

Outlook: The Gaels will be bolstered by the addition of Aprile, who had a very strong showing in sprints during winter track. Wynne will lead the team in the distance events with Dylan Schuck scoring points in the jumps. The Gaels looked solid in winning their first dual meet over Croton. The Gaels will be in the hunt to win the League III-A title, which they won in the winter season.

Girls

Key Members: Jen Cicchetti, Akua Frimpong, Abby Henry, Breeda Mannion, and Jessica Kendzor

Outlook:

The Gaels are strengthened by the addition of Kendzor, who is in her first season of spring track. She made states in the winter and can score in the sprints, mid-distance and distance events. The team will have to find some points in the field events to be able to challenge for the top three spots in League III-A. Kendzor will be in the hunt to qualify for the states in Division II.
