In addition, the boys team also had amazing runs throughout the season. Freshmen Adam Kandil, and Maximus Espinal showcased that they shouldn’t be underestimated with their performances for the 2,800 meters and the 3,200 meters. For the 5 kilometer run Juniors Nikolas Pinto and Luca Cappello had a shared season best of 20:05 in different meets, Senior Christian Crews the captain of the boys XC team ran 20:52.0. “The hardest part about Cross Country is being consistent” was a phrase Christian Crews said at practice one day and it highlights the effort these boys put in this season. The team’s efforts were fueled by a coach that cared, Ed Ciccone, he made sure that every lap was finished, and no slacking off was allowed, most of the boys can attribute their success during this season to Coach Ciccone.
The Saddle Brook Cross Country Team has made its mission clear, to do whatever it takes to prove themselves. As the season is ending the athletes have proved their determination isn’t a joke and still show up to every practice giving it their all.The underclassmen are promising and along with their excellent coach and helping seniors the team is ready for the next season and for even greater heights to be achieved. Compliments to the efforts given during this season and let’s hope for even better victories for next year.
