Sorry for the lack of posts. Unfortunately I was not able to go down to Philly Thursday or Friday, but I’ll be there on Saturday. In case you missed it, my colleague, Sam Borden was in attendance yesterday and he had a story in today’s paper about what it’s like running at Penn and the whole team aspect of running in a relay. You can check out the story by clicking here.
You can also click below to view the track and field results from yesterday. Hopefully I’ll see some of you down there tomorrow.

Dan Marra began working for the Journal News this past September. He graduated from Manhattan College in 2004 and from John F. Kennedy High School in 2000. While at Kennedy, he ran cross-country and track. He is excited to be covering the sport that he participated in throughout his four years in high school. Dan loves all sports, but has, what some may say, an unhealthy obsession with the New York Giants.
Matthew Ng has been with Varsity Central and The Journal News sports department for the past two years handling high school beats such as skiing, bowling, girls soccer and tennis. Ng is a 2004 graduate of Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School with his major in broadcast journalism.
Casey Tolfree spent her high school career playing Section 1 sports at Dobbs Ferry and is excited to have the opportunity to cover them for the Journal News. After graduating from St. John's University, Casey joined the Journal News staff in December 2007 and has covered a variety of sports including basketball, softball, and volleyball.







The track coverage has truly hit an all time low, time for some drastic changes at lohud. 2/3’s of the events have been completed at Penn you should just cover the wonderful Mamaroneck and Croton Relays and save the gas.
What exactly are you going to cover the boys 4×4 relays?
Congratulations to both the New Rochelle boys and Ursuline 3200 meter relay teams who just missed qualifying for the Championship of America by 1 and 2 seconds respectfully.
Great job for both as some of the pre-race favorites falter under the pressure of Penn.
Dan, You went down to Philly to write a story about Fordham Prep? What abut the dozens of other teams and hundreds of athletes who participated? The above mentioned all time low is getting even lower. Fordham missed the Championship by 3 seconds wow, thats over 25 meters yet only a blurb for New Rochelle and Ursuline in the 4×8 missing by a lot less.
Still waiting for coverage of the Don Bosco team from within 1 mile of Pearl River HS, Fordham prep keeps getting so much coverage(Bronx school in a Westchester Paper) that the Rockland kids attending Don Bosco must feel so left out….....Today’s article was another highlight about Fordham Prep of the Bronx (shouldn’t the Daily News be covering them?). Dan claims he covers them because some of the Fordham kids are from Westchester and the readership area, then shouldn’t you have an across the board policy to cover any kids from within the readership? Don Bosco, any boarding schools that westchester kids are attending, private schools outside of the county??????
yea, i remember that the journal news had a few articles about Conor Sullivan who lived in Clarkstown South school district but went to Bosco
