Lansingburgh Runs off to Track Title

The Lansingburgh boys' indoor track team captured its fourth consecutive Colonial Council championship at the league meet on Jan. 27.

Kenny Youngs and Shane Wynn each won two events, while C.J. Sousis took second- and third-place finishes in individual events and was part of a winning relay team.

"We had a tough season sprinkled with injuries and a difficult early morning (practice) schedule, but it all came together for us in the league championship meet," said coach Christian Brophy. "These young men are a force!"

Rachel Light of the girls' team also captured an individual event winning, finishing first in the shot put competition for the third straight year.

The boys' and girls' teams will compete in the Engineer games on Sunday Feb. 3 at RPI. They will also participate in the Section II, Division 3 Championship Meet on Feb. 18 at the State University at Albany.
