Falcon advances to states, sets new school record

Neel Chittur, a Falcon juniors, running the 3200m race in indoor track.

On Saturday, Neel Chittur will compete in the 3200m race at the 2022 New York State Indoor Track Championship meet in Staten Island.

Chittur, a junior, ran a 9:48.28 3200m at the Section 2 state qualifier at Hudson Valley Community College in early February but his personal best for the 2022 indoor season is 9:39.64, a new Albany High School record!

The previous boys' 3200m record was set in 1982 by Alfie Woodard. Chittur looks to better his personal best this weekend.

Congratulations (and good luck) to Chittur and varsity head coach Steve Gallagher!
