Looking back at the school’s track and field programs in previous years, we see an increase in popularity of the sport and success here at Bronxville. With the boys cross country team winning states this year and girls taking home the Section 1 title, both teams worked hard, determined to finish off the season strong. 

Winter track kicked off in November, with the team mostly competing at The Armory in New York City. Both the girls and boys teams won the league championship this past week for the first time in 4 years, beating schools including Pleasantville, Irvington, Westlake, and Putnam Valley. While all three Bronco girls placed in the weight throw event, two placed in the top 3, with senior Whitney Rowan taking first by throwing 25 feet. Two Broncos also took top 3 in shot put. 

Earlier in the season, the 4×200 boys relay (Davis Patterson, Jamie Valdes, Pierce Patterson, and Max Morgan) set a new school record of 1:33.96, (previously set in 2019 by PJ Kristinki, Eric Fleisig, Connor Randall, and Henry Donohue) and qualified for nationals. With hopes in qualifying for the 4×400 as well, the boys missed the national cut by a mere 2 seconds this past week at Leagues, clocking a respectable time of 3:36.66. The team has 9 meets left remaining this season, including sectionals, states, and nationals.

All season long, the winter track and field teams have faced immense success, winning the League Championship and placing second at Counties so far. This past week, both the girls and boys teams took the Section 1 winter track and field title at The Armory on February 8th. 

Both teams obtained a huge lead at Sectionals with first places in the boys 1000m (Ellis Goodson), the 300m (Davis Patterson), the 4×800 relay (JW Henningson, Ian Gegenwarth, Andrew Jensen, and Kieran McBride), pole vault (Max Dicker), weight throw (Chris Lockwood), and the 55m HH (Wyatt Gravier). 

On the girls side, Bronxville took first in the 1000m (Maddy Williams), the 4×800 (Hope Hershberg, Maddy Stupart, Maddy Williams, and Katie O’Hare), the 4×200 (Anna Saad, Kara Kochansky, Juliet Winiecki, and Mai Ly Reinking), the 55m (Danielle Dragoni), and the long jump (Juliet Winiecki). 

The girls finished strong to win the meet by a whopping 90 points, ending with a total of 137 points, while the second placed team (Hastings) finished with just 47. The girls team took first place alongside the overall score of the boys and girls teams combined. The boys teams final score was 155 points, where they won by 63 points to Briarcliff, who scored a total of 92. 

The team will compete the weekend of February 12th at the Millrose Games at the Armory in NYC and has state qualifiers coming up soon.

The Bronxville Squash Varsity A Team has just finished their season ranked 1st in their division with a record of 6-1. The team, which plays in the Fairwest League, was matched up against Varsity Squash programs from Briarcliff, Darien, Fairfield, Greenwich, New Canaan, New Haven, Rye, Scarsdale, Westport, and Harlem. The team's only loss was against Greenwich Varsity A in which they were defeated 4 to 3 in a best of 7 matchup. In these matches, each player per team is seeded within their team 1-7. The like seeded players compete against each other in a best of 5 match. Each of these matches is valued equally, and the team that wins the most of these individual matches wins the game. In terms of individual matches, Bronxville went 39-10, an astounding number.

On February 25, the team will travel to the US Squash headquarters, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, to compete in the US High School Squash National Championships. This year, they are seeded 1-4 in Division 2, competing with other schools both public and private including St. Pauls, Taft, and Darien Varsity A. Ranked 1st in public school squash programs in the country, Bronxville Varsity A hopes to bring home the Division 2 championship.

Throughout the season and at nationals, student-athlete Rustin Wiser will be instrumental to the team’s success. Rustin is currently ranked 7 in the country in the BU17 (boys under 17) age division and is undefeated so far in the school season. He hopes to emerge victorious against some of the tough matches he has to play. Other players such as Charlie Clifford, Molly Stoltz, Andrew Shah, and Drew Doyle are all returning team members from last year who hope to play well at nationals this year.
