Athlete of the Week: Edwin Klanke St. Peter's Prep '20) Klanke picked up the win and a CR to boot at the Hudson Co. Championship last Saturday. Running 15:20 over the Steven Gregg Pk. layout, Edwin broke the CR set last year at this meet by Francis Martingale of Memorial (WNY). The win also help the Marauders roll to the team title.

Honorable Mention: Maximus Russo (Oratory Prep '20)
