Old Rochester Boys and Girls Track – The teams started off their season well on Saturday with a win against Diman High School. The girls swept the hurdles, with Allie Saccone, Megan Bell, and Paige Santos placing in the first, second, and third spots. Saccone also had a good day over at High Jump, where she won with a jump of 5’ 2”. Megan Pachico, Sam Barrett, Katie Setharis, and Abby Hiller also won the four by four relay for the girl’s team, clinching the victory.
The meet was also successful for the boys, with Nick Pacheco winning the two-mile, Mike Wyman winning the thousand meter, and David Friedman winning the mile. In the 300, Dan Donohue placed first with newcomer to ORR Nick Coehlo coming in third.
Next up for both teams is Case and Bourne.
Other winter sports teams have yet to kick off their competitive seasons, but things are looking good. In boys’ basketball, senior Max Risch is returning, along with Teddy Kassabian and other notable senior and junior players. The girls have a very young basketball team with no seniors players and juniors Katie Wilbur and Abby Offringa leading the team. In Hockey, senior Max Sherman is returning along with fellow senior Jake Jaskolka.
Some teams are playing with young talent, and some with old. Either way, it’s shaping up to be a great season for ORR sports.
