BURDETT RUNS BEST MILE TIME AT STATES!!!

Congratulations to Cullin Burdett who competed at the New York State Track and Field Championships this past weekend.  Cullin placed 6th amongst New York State public schools in divsion 2.  Cullin ran his fastest mile of the season finishing in a time of 4:23.5.  The hard work, sacrifice, and will to continue against the odds paid off on Saturday morning.  The weather conditions were brutal on Saturday, with terrential rain falling as though it would not stop.  Cullin completed his warm up in the rain and prepared himself mentally to run.  From the onset the race was physical.  Several athletes collided into one another trying to jockey for position.  On the third lap, one of the athletes put his hand on Cullin's back to steady himself.  This move seemed to propel Cullin forward towards a great finish.  Please watch the full race video below.

Congratulations to Culllin and the spring track team for a wonderful season!!!
