Coach of the Year

Larry Elliott and Jake Bergmeier, Kennedy Catholic

Coach Larry Elliott and Coach Jake Bergmeier co-coach both teams and led the boys back to prominence in Section 1. The Gaels placed third in a tough league and placed an impressive sixth at the Class B sectional meet. The team also placed well at the Somers Lions Club Meet and the Mamaroneck Relays, winning trophies at both meets. Dylan Schuck won the County Title in the pentathlon with an excellent score of 3,005. Elliot and Bergmeier had three individual champs at the Class B Sectional meet with Jesse Aprile (triple jump), Schuck (pentathlon), and Michael Campobasso (110-meter hurdles). The team also sent Campobasso (hurdles) and Schuck (pentathlon) to the state meet. Jesse Aprile also almost made the team. Both Schuck and Campobasso medaled in sixth place at states in their events respectively. In addition to their success with the boys, Jessica Kendzor and Danielle Asaro also qualified for states giving Kennedy four athletes at states.
