Congratulations Wantagh Warriors XC Team
2006 Nassau County Champs

On Saturday, November 4th the Wantagh High School Boys Cross Country Team ran their hearts out and became the Nassau County Champs for the first time in almost 20 years.  Of the 28 teams that competed at Bethpage State Park the Warriors took first place having the lowest number of top scorers.

Congratulations go out to Coach Bill Hedgecock and his team of extremely talented and hard working athletes! Co-captains and seniors Adam Clark and Brian Richman finished the 5K race with times of (16:47) and (17:37).  Sophomores Quimes DelaCruz (16:31), Andrew Coelho (16:45), Chris Lewis (17:31), Tommy Clark (17:41), and John Greisheimer (17:53) all showed great determination in winning this title.

The boys will travel to Warwick, N.Y. this weekend to compete in the State Championship along with Teammate Kaleigh Craig from the Girls Wantagh XC Team who placed 6th overall with a time of 19:30 and also qualified to compete in the New York State Championship. Not bad for a 7th grader!

Best of luck to the Boys Team and Kaleigh as they compete in the New York State Championship this coming weekend 11-11-06.

Please show the cross country team your support and wish them well.

We will be posting photos and videos of both events ASAP.

Also Congratulations to all of the Boys and Girls of the Wantagh Cross County Team for their accomplishments this past season.
