HIGH HOPES SURROUND CSI RUNNERS AT UPCOMING XC CUNY CHAMPIONSHIP

Comments


Both the College of Staten Island men's and women's cross-country squads will be taking their best efforts to Van Cortlandt Park, in the Bronx, New York, on Sunday, as part of the CUNYAC Cross-Country Postseason Championship Meet.  The women's 6k event is set to go off at 9:30am, while the men's 8k race will begin at 10:30am.  High hopes surround both programs heading in, as the Dolphins will look to contend for individual medals as well as team accolades. Making the biggest strides this year will be the men's side, which finished last year in 7th place.  Consistency has been the name of the game for the Dolphins, as most every runner has sown a steady improvement in race times throughout the course of the year.  CSI collected a pair of second place finishes (York Invitational, Brooklyn Dual), and have a shown a presence near the top of the race times each week. "I believe we will have the best showing at a CUNY Championship meet in the program's short history," said Head Coach Robert Russo.  "There is great team synergy among the athletes which has helped the overall team effort and improved their individual performances, and we are ready for the big stage this Sunday."  Leading the charge for the men has been Andrew Pate, a sophomore who has registered five of CSI's Top-10 times in 8k events this season, including a 29:49.10 time at the York Invitational on October 7, CSI's best time in the 8k all year.  Nipping at his heels in recent weeks is teammate Samuel Obesanya, who has shaved over two minutes off his 8k over the course of the season, topping out at 29:49.68.  A late arrival at CSI, Keith Grossman posted a personal best 29:45.00 time two weeks ago at the Brooklyn College dual meet, and should figure in amongst the head of the class.
