Bay Shore Cross-Country Day
@ Gardiner’s Park
Tuesday – October 4, 2011
Cloudy, light rain, 64 degrees

The First Annual Bay Shore Cross-Country Day was held at Gardiner’s Park. We had a terrific turnout, with our new Superintendent of Schools Mr. Dion in attendance. Assistant Athletic Director Mr. Ted Nagengast, Principal Mr. Carlton Brown (Gardiner Manor), several teachers, retired teachers, parents, and former runners were also on hand to watch the festivites. Thanks would have to go to Ms. Tess Balzano and the rest of the Gardiner Manor staff, Ms. Finola Schmidt and the rest of the South Country staff, Coaches Mr. Kurt Langer and Mr. Jim Johnson, and the Gardiner’s Park Director Jenn. Special thanks also to both the Girls and Boys Varsity Cross-Country Teams. We certainly will iron out some of the wrinkles for next year, but it was an overwhelming success! Running is something every one of us can do throughout our lives, and we can encourage our youngsters to get involved and stop the obesity problem we have in the United States. Any parents that have any questions about running, feel free to contact any of the Physical Education Teachers, or feel free to e-mail me  (steveborbet@yahoo.com). Here are the results of the races held today. Cross-Country scoring - add up the top five runners from each school, with the lowest score winning. If a team goes 1-2-3-4-5, it is considered a shutout. If a team gets the top seven places, the score would be 15-50.

Girls Varsity:      Bay Shore  16  North Babylon  47   (5000 meter run)
This was the first High School XC race ever run at Gardiner’s Park. The Bay Shore Girls ran very well in defeating North Babylon 16-47. Junior Lindsay Arcuri, set a course record, with a convincing win on her birthday! Lindsay’s time was 19:48. Jasmin Reyes (8) – 20:08, Danielle Rowe (12) – 20:27, and Aviana Goode (8) – 20:43 placed 2-3-4. Other top fifteen finishers were: Nia McCaslin (9) – 21:19, Caelyn Reilly (8) – 21:22, Claire Moran (10) – 21:28, Zulena Saravia (12) – 21:44, Gisell Guzman (12) – 21:44, Sabrina Esposito (9) – 22:09, Alyssa Gravina (11) – 22:15, Colleen Kunz (12) – 22:35, and Marisol Nazario (11) – 23:33. We have a very young team that is starting to run very well! We are 2-1 in League Three, with two meets to go. Our lone loss was the Northport, the #4 team in New York State. We will hope to give them a run at the Suffolk County Championships on Friday – November 4.

The fifth graders from both Gardiner Manor and South Country would run 1000 meters. Everyone did a terrific job, with some very fast times in all the age groups!!! Bold letters indicate medal winners. Some of the stickers fell off, or were not legible.

5th Grade Girls Results:

The fourth graders ran 600 meters, and did a terrific job!!!

4th Grade Girls Results:

The third graders ran 400 meters. The last two times in both the third and fourth grade races were lost because of a faulty stopwatch. They are suppose to have a memory of 25 times, but this watch only held 16 times. We did not realize this until the races were over.
3rd Grade Girls Results:
