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!
