TJN - Running Shorts - "Westchester County"… “Kennedy could make a run at the title…”

Westchester County…who ya got… “Kennedy could make a run at the title…”

Girls

In Class B it will be between Somers and Harrison. I think Somers has too much talent and depth. Kennedy could make a run at the title although the team doesn’t have a lot of depth. Woodlands could steal some points as well.

Today in The Journal News - League wrap-up - Dan Marra

Taken from Running Shorts, TJN, 1/20/09

League III-A

Was anyone else impressed with Kennedy’s league title?

Croton and Briarcliff have quality teams, so it’s not as though Kennedy competed against nobody.

It looks as though Kennedy has the depth on its team again. Should be an interesting team to watch come sectionals.

How good are Briarcliff and Kennedy? Could the schools become problematic at sectionals?

A slighly more impressive win by Kennedy over Briarcliff.

It’s good to see Jessica Kendzor and Breeda Manion back for the Gaels. This will be a pesky team this season and next.

Kennedy seems to have its middle and distance talent that it had a few years ago back.

Briarcliff looks as thought its building a nice team.

Libby Lazare of Pleasantville is back running well.

How well will Kennedy do on the sectional level? I think the team is still a year away. Somers, Pearl River are going to be tough teams to compete with. Can the Gaels do it?

JFK Winter Track Teams Competed with Pride at the Rockland Coaches' Section 1 Invitational

Approximately 20 Kennedy boy and girl athletes from JFK's Winter Track Team traveled to Rockland County Community College for the Rockland Coaches' Section 1 Invitational. Jessie Kendzor and Jessie Aprile garnered points for the Gaels to help rank the boys’ team and the girls’ team among the top 25 schools in Section 1. There are approximately 75 schools in the Section. The events were packed with strong competition. Many schools were unable to score points because points were awarded only to the winners of the top 6 places in each competition, regardless of the class or size of the schools in our Section.

Jesse Aprile sprinted in 2 blazing fast 55 meter dashes. He qualified, finished 5th, and medaled in the event at the track at the Rockland Community College. RaceTab 2.0 by MileSplit.com recorded his time in the finals as 7.2 seconds.

Jessica Kendzor earned a 4th place plaque & achieved National Elite Status in the 1000 Yard Run at RCC. Jessica ran 2:47.6 in the 1000 yard event. She had qualified as one of 8 runners chosen to run in a special heat in this race of elite status runners from Section 1.

Dylan Schuck leaped to a 16th Place Finish in the Triple Jump. Dylan landed at the 37-05.00 mark in the Triple Jump competition.

Go Gaels. We are proud of the entire team.

Friday's meet at RCC

Hello all!

A quick note about this Friday's meet at Rockland Community College (RCC).

  1. The bus will leave directly from Kennedy at 3:00 pm.
  2. Athletes should either bring money for food (they serve fried chicken fingers and fries) or bring something for a dinner like a PB&J sandwich with a drink.
  3. This meet has varied in time over the years in finishing time. It could be 9:30, it could be midnight. Athletes will be asked to call their parents to let them know when we are leaving RCC and asked again when we are about 30 minutes from Kennedy's parking lot on the return trip home.

If you can get out and run for a bit today, it might be a good idea.  If you have a gym membership, even better!  See you all at school tomorrow!
