Season Review -
The Marauders closed out their 2010 spring season in championship form, as Senior Brandon Hutchinson, and Sophomore Kadesh Roberts traveled to Vestal NY to represent Bay Shore and Suffolk County in the NYSPHSAA Track and Field Championships. "Hutch" finished a brilliant career with a dramatic win in his specialty, the Triple Jump. He was leading the competition, when on his final jump, Justin Williams of Longwood leaped 50' to take the lead by 6". "Hutch," down to his last jump (and the final attempt of the event), gathered himself for one last effort, and soared a career best 50' 2.5" to seal the State Championship!! It was perhaps the most exciting event of the meet, as the crowd went wild over the dual between these two tremendous athletes. Roberts, in his first State Championship, finished a very respectable 11th in the 400 intermediate hurdles, proving that he will be a force to be reckoned with, and a worthy heir to carry on the Marauder tradition for the next two years.

Dual Meet Review -
The Boy's Varsity Track Team had another very successful season. They finished 5 - 1 in their dual meet campaign to take second in the extremely competitive League II. They then went on to a second place finish in the County Division I Championships. The Marauders produced 4 County Champions, with Seniors Brandon Hutchinson taking the Long Jump Crown, (as well as 2nd in the Triple Jump) and Mike Mauro the 800 meter title. The future looks bright with Junior Dayne Savory taking the gold in the 100 meter dash, and Sophomore Kadesh Roberts dominating the 400 meter hurdles. Roberts also took home the bronze medal in the 110 High Hurdles.
Other scorers were Sophomore Angel Rosario in the Discus, Junior Ischmeal McGhee in the long jump, Senior Connor Crane in the Steeple Chase, Willard Hill in the Long Jump, Raphael Rother in the 400 meyer dash, Junior Connor Crane in the Pole Vault. Our relay squads were also very successful, all scoring in the meet. The 4x100 meter relay team of Hutchinson, Savory, Crane, and Michael Moore took 4th; the 4x400 relay team of Crane, Rother, Roberts, and Mauro took 3rd; and the 4x800 relay team on Ben Hogan, Dan Narveaz, Cody Corcoran, and Mike Mauro took 6th.
