A huge Thank you to our Cross Country Coach, Mr. Conlin, for organizing this special meet for our runners!

The Saber Boys and Girls teams also raced against St. Joseph (Baltic, CT) and St. Paul (Kensington, CT) last week in a tri-meet. The Sabers took first in both races with leading scorers for the girls: Gianna Matos, Giada Collachio, Norah Lysik, Grace Harris, and Emma Tammo.  For the boys: Max Hetherington, Charles Zaleski, Carter Flenke, Mac Thompson, and Harrison Hetherington.
