As fall sports come to a close,winter sports take the attention of many athletes. Set to begin in mid-november, many teams have taken an optimistic approach to the season.
A Cross-country standout, Junior Indy Minkoff spoke about his outlook on the upcoming winter track season. “Winter track is obviously a little less competitive than cross country and spring track, but we should have a fun season and have fun going to the Armory,” said Minkoff. The winter track team has seen some success in past years, and hope to continue that trend.
The Girls Varsity Basketball team, who boasts more than a few state championships, had a heartbreaking loss in the sectional final last season after a very impressive season.
Sophomore starter Aly Raimondo described the team’s attitude towards the upcoming season. “I’m really excited to see how far we go and if we can get to where we got last year and better. I think it should be a fun and a good season.” The team shows a lot of promise and remains hopeful for this winter.
The Varsity Wrestling team, a team which had lots of success in the past, has been focused on a rebuild. Samuel Andrade, a Sophomore wrestler said, “We are looking to create a new environment with the team. We want to get used to our new head coach and hopefully win a league title.”
The previous wrestling coach, Benjamin Karol stepped down over the summer, which brought in a new head coach Edgar Solis, who had been an assistant coach for the last few years. The team hopes to start out strong this winter with their fresh start.
