Two Falcons advance to championship meet

An athlete participates in the long jump and another starts the 55m hurdles during a recent competition.

On Saturday, members of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú High School's indoor track and field teams competed in the Section 2 State Qualifier Meet at Hudson Valley Community College.

Not only did two Falcons earn first place at the meet but those golds also qualified the student-athletes for the state championship meet.

Congratulations to:

  • Malachi Young (grade 12) - 55m hurdles
  • Samir Gardner (grade 11) - long jump

The New York State Indoor Track and Field Championship will be held on March 2 at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

Best of luck to Malachi and Samir - we're proud of you!
