CAMP UPDATE

Dear Parents - 

Camp is going well with your little kiddies.  Everyone seems pretty healthy and rested so far. 

One sprained ankle so far (Claire Roediger) but that's the worst injury.  The entire camp was given Wednesday morning's run off but the Tusker boys will be out there getting their mileage in.

Gorecki is in group one and doing very well.  Conway and Shelby are group three, Tunas and Persic group 4, Friedman and Sammel group 5, Windman group 7, Rosillo group 8.

Rachel and Eve are in group 13 but will move to 11 tomorrow while the rest of the girls are in groups 15-20.

Somehow I am surving 24-7 of Jen Gross and Lorrayne Ramirez, AKA LorRennifer.

Pictures coming tomorrow of the annual human pyramid.  

Tuskers, Alum race well in 5K

It turned into a great night for The Tuskers, past and present, as over 20 toed the line at Somers HS for the last Westchester Twilight Meet.  Josh Kneer ('06) ran away with the title but fellow alum Niko Viglione ('05) paced current team captain Robert Gorecki to a solid 17:10 effort despite the hot and very humid conditions.  

Doug Swiatocha ('06) and Patrick Hashmall ('09) also competed as Hashmall gets geared up to try and make his college team in two weeks.  Coach Fulton ('94) ran the 3K instead.  Other Alumni on hand as spectators

 were Alex Bean ('06), Devin Irwin ('08), Evan Delfs ('05), Kyle Brazeil ('07), Dana Mitchell ('06), and Avery Faeth ('08).  Even Don and Lorraine Swiatocha were spotted watching the race.

Scott Friedman and Isaac Shelby turned in solid low 18:05 times while Albert Tunas, Mike Rosillo, and Frankie LiCursi all ran right around 19 flat.  Mike Persic broke 20 and Alex Fusco ran a PR 20:15. 

For the girls, Rachel O'Connell and Eve Marenghi ran 12:37 for the 3K while newcomer Maggie Hashmall had a great debut running 12:59.  Crosby Tillman ran 13:12 and Jen Gross made her long distance debut in 15:30.  All good times for a summer workout.  The girls appear ready for XC camp.

Week 6 "Mileage Hogs"

Well it appears that it's a 5 way tie this week with Gorecki, Friedman, Sammel, Shelby, and Conway all running 70 miles this week. THAT"S WHAT I WANNA SEE! Mike Rosillo had another great week of 50 miles, as prescribed, Frankie Licursi logged 43 (43 more than he ran the same week last year), and Albert Tunas is back feeling good and looking good. Other guys that reported solid weeks were Mike Persic, Alex Fusco, and Austin Simon. Freshman John Courtien logged 35 miles last week and is coming to XC camp.

Great day of girls practice today as Tillman, Hashmall, O'Connell, Marenghi, Ramirez, and Gross all showed up. REMEMBER - EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO BE AT THE TRACK MEET ON TUESDAY, 8/11 AT 5:30PM, TO RUN EITHER THE 3K OF 5K.
