Relaying great news for boys' outdoor track and field

Boys' outdoor track team posing with medals at Cohoes Relays

Our varsity boys' outdoor track and field team truly wowed us at their last two competitions—the Penn Relays 2025 and the Cohoes Relays—by smashing records in various relay events!

At the Penn Relays 2025 last Thursday, the boys’ 4x100 meter relay team, consisting of Nasief Smith, Daaron Harrell, Samir Gardner and Rohan Edwards-Grant, made history by shattering the official school record of 42.96 seconds set in 2010. They achieved a remarkable time of 42.8 seconds, coming in just 0.7 seconds shy of the Section 2 record! This outstanding performance has earned them a spot in the New York State Top 10—a truly impressive achievement.

The excitement continued at the Cohoes Relays on Saturday, where every Falcon athlete who competed secured a medal!

Despite the soggy conditions, Smith, Harrell, Gardner and Edwards-Grant set a new meet record with a time of 2:02.44 in the Swedish relay (100m-200m-300m-400m). These four Falcons also captivated the crowd with first-place finishes in both the 4x100 meter relay and the sprint medley relay races.

Join us in cheering for our Falcons tomorrow, Tuesday, April 29, at their next meet at Schenectady High School at 4:15 p.m.
