Track and field

They gave it their all

By RICHARD A. ROSS

LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY – The season is over now. No more formal practices or upcoming meets loom ahead for the vast majority of the county’s track and field athletes but for those serious about fall cross-country, the clock is already ticking. As any track and field athlete can tell you, being successful is a product of year-round training.

The River Reporter salutes the efforts of our track and field athletes. Here is a list of area track and field athletes and their personal bests in their events. Knowing full well how much time and effort these kids put in during the course of the track season and for many of them cross-country and indoor track as well, we celebrate and honor their achievements.
