Sophia Kumar broke her own pole-vaulting record more than once, capturing the Westchester County championship! Girls Fencing won the league championship … in their inaugural season!
The Boys Ski Team won the South League Championship for the second year in a row! These and more are some of Edgemont Athletics’ winter headlines that Athletic Director Anthony DeRosa shared with the community at the February 10 Board of Education meeting.
Superintendent Kenneth R. Hamilton also offered his congratulations to the students. He linked the traits that led to their success to Edgemont’s Profile of a Graduate, a framework of skills that prepares students for life after high school.
“The athletes’ commitment, countless hours of practice, discipline and teamwork come to life not only in winning, but in applying those skills in the classroom and in life,” he said.
DeRosa congratulated student athletes and their coaches for an outstanding winter season. Highlights included:
• Track League meet first place winners: Evan Bologh in the boys 55 meter and Sophia Kumar in the girls pole vault where she leaped over 11’6” and broke her own school record.
• Westchester County Championships: Sophia Kumar took first place in the pole vault, clearing a 11’9” inches, capturing the championship for the second year in a row. She's currently number two all-time on the Westchester County top 10 in the event and the number two pole vaulter in New York State.
• The boys ski team won the South League Championship for the second year in a row, their third league title overall.
• Girls fencing won the league championship in their inaugural season for the program. They also won the section championship in foil. Eleanor Li finished her fencing season going undefeated 36-0. Naveen Jimenez also finished his fencing season with a remarkable record of 26-1.
• Three wrestlers finished in the top three in their respective weight classes during the section championships: Steven Ahn, Ben Weksel and Gus Parsons.
• Two boys swim team members qualified for states: Yuchen Wei in both the 200-medley relay and the 100-meter butterfly, and Haochen Yu in the 200-medley relay. Congratulations to coach Tobey-Anne Saracino who reached her 100th win milestone for the second straight season.
Go Panthers!
