RANDOM

I had a dream, which was not all
a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd,
and the stars
Did wander...

A LITTLE ACS XC HISTORY

Carey Crooker has qualified for the NYSPHSAA Cross Country Championship Meet for a fifth consecutive year. Carey has extended our streak of qualifying an athlete, or a team, for this meet to seventeen years. We are doing something right.

This will be my third time coaching a State Meet at Sunken Meadow State Park. In 1992, Jennifer Balch became the first Addison female to qualify for the State Meet in any sport. Jennifer is currently a law enforcement officer in Georgia. In 2002, our boys team finished in 2nd place. That team consisted of; Bryan Morseman, Branden Morseman, Michael Thompson, Jereme Bottom, Dan Dart, Brett Hale, and Ryan MacDonald.

My sophomore year at East Aurora--we won a NYS State title in a foot of snow at a golf course in Malone NY. We qualified for the NYS Federation Meet where our team finished in 5th place. The meet took place on Long Island--Sunken Meadow State Park!

SECTIONALS 2008

We are still waiting on the results to be posted on line. There were some EXCELLENT performances turned in on Saturday.

The girls squad finished in SECOND place in Class DD. I guess that was the big surprise of the day. Carey Crooker has qualified for a 5th trip to the New York State Championships.

Carey worked extremely hard in the off season--and during the season. Her hard work paid off in her best race of the season. I think all of us could learn something from Carey's dedication, work ethic, values, and commitment to the team. Hard work and sacrifice do pay off.

I will post results here as soon as I find them on line. The boys finished in 5th place in the Class DD race.
