X-Country Q&A

QUESTION: What can you do when it is 45 degrees and pouring rain outside?

ANSWER: Drive into the Bronx and run cross country!!

The cross country teams ran this afternoon in the slop at Van Cortlandt Park. Great performances all around as 14 of the 18 EMS runners set personal best times on the course. Special recognition goes to eight-grader Caitlitn Ferrarese, who ran the last quarter mile with only one shoe! Joe del Rio's father was kind enough to pick the other one up and return it to her. Team results are not yet available.
