MORE INFO TO COME
2/23 - Eastern State Champs - Armory
Dan Zaccariello continues his assault on the record books as this time he
takes down the 800 meter school record. He just missed going wire-to-wire
as he was nipped out of the line and settled for second with a 1:56.01 FAT time.
Alex Civitano runs a huge race while anchoring the DMR to a 4:25 split, a 13
second PR. George Setteducato cracks 53 in the 400 as Bobby Mirfield dips
under 55 seconds. MEENA FARID sets a PR in the shot put as well.
2/13 - CHSAA Intersectionals - Armory
Dan Zaccariello pulls off a tough double by winning the 1000 and 1600 city
championships. In the 1,000, he led from wire-to-wire in an uncontested
2:29.32 FAT, which was good enough for #5 in the U.S. and a new school
record. In the 1,600, with heavy legs he sat off the shoulders of the
leaders and responded to every move that was made. On the final turn, with
100 meters to go, Zaccariello bolted to the front outkicking the same athlete
who just nipped him in the mile outdoors last year. His last 400 was a
sizzling 58.5.
Junior Adam Civitano qualified for the state team with a personal
best and 4th place finish in the 600. The 4x800 relay placed fifth earning
bronze medals. The team finished in fifth place overall.

Zaccariello, running his first 1,000 of the year smashed the school record
(2:35.08) and meet record (2:33.36) en route to a smoking 2:30.22. Due in
the large part to his two wins and #2 U.S. ranking in the 1,000; Zaccariello
copped the meet's "Outstanding Track Performer" award. Adam Civitano runs
one of the toughest races this year as he fell in the 600 and still bounced back
to place third; showing the heart that has him on the team's top 4x800.

IN MEMORY OF DAN KELLEY '04
For years this program has talked about how it is more than
just a team but a family, a brotherhood. Through success and failure,
nothing changes. With the passing of Dan, we come together again,
including many alumni who graduated years ago. The important thing to keep
in mind is that the legacy of "DK" doesn't end now. We will continue to
remember the legacies of those that fall before us, especially the legacy of DK.
As a new soph, he was an average runner at best and through
hard work; was able to work his way through the ranks. After graduating, he kept
running and improving. At his peak shape, he was a contender for the
Staten Island Men's Triple Crown. In addition, he returned to coach in
2007. For years, he was always an alumnus who constantly followed the team
through the newspaper and website while always offering his two cents on things
relating to the team. This loss isn't easy to get over but we will move
forward while trying to follow the lead of a model alumnus.

1/13 - Millrose Trials - Armory
"Rolling the Dice," the team races w/o star miler Dan Zaccariello in
the hopes that he gets a bid into the Millrose H.S. mile. Adam Civitano leads
off and finishes his leg in the heart of the race. Alex Civitano, the
call-up, fell to 8th after the first 400. It looked bleak for anyone who
didn't know Alex's ferocious "kick." A blistering last 300 had us back in the
race for Mike Baio. Baio, who injured his achilles in early December was
being nursed back. His comeback race was a less-than-stellar 2:05.2 last
weekend at Hispanic. If Baio didn't return to form, our Millrose dreams
would be crushed. Capt. Mike Baio showed tremendous heart in holding his
position with a 2:00.7 split. Senior Nick Italiano, a three-time Millrose
veteran, went out like an animal to move up. He just got nipped at the
line by Kellenberg and Chaminade but more importantly held off the flurry of
runners that moved on the last straightaway.
An amazing 8:04.12 was the cut to make the garden this year as the
CHSAA league does it yet again. As a matter of fact, at the time of the
race, 7 of the CHSAA's teams beat the nation's #6 team!!
2010 Millrose 4x800 Relay with
"alternate" Dan Zaccariello
1/9 - Hispanic Games - Armory
In a final tune-up before the Island Champs, the team fares well. Dan
Zaccariello crushes his mile record with a 4:17.76 clocking. His
performance has him in the top 15 in the U.S. The sprinters continue to
post fine times with George Setteducato going "sub 24." Charles Alcasid
clears 6'0" for a new personal best.
1/8 - Soph Sectionals - Fordham Univ.
Liam Vogt cops the sectional championship in the triple jump. Frank
Sconzo just misses winning the 55 HH. Tommy Schneider runs a big race in
the 1600 as Luke Olsson sets the school 1800 meter
school record!
1/2 - CHSAA Novice & Junior Weight Champs -
Armory
In the first meet of 2010, the record breaking barrage continues of the
varsity 4x400 record falls. Nick Italiano, Dan Zaccariello, Adam Civitano
& Mike Baio (who made his return) made up the relay. Alex Civitano
continues to roll with an impressive 2:02.5 lead-off leg in the 4x800.
Frank Sconzo cops a novice city championship in a big PR of 8.5. He was
able to garner a silver medal in the long jump as well. Mike Fiechter
cracks 26 as Vito Coladonato impresses in the 400.
CONGRATULATIONS DAN ZACCARIELLO &
ALEX CIVITANO
FOR BEING NAMED XC S.I.

12/28 - Marine Corp Holiday Classic - Armory
A spirited effort by the team led to some fine performances. In the
"Invitational DMR", the team finished in 5th and raced competitively despite not
being at full strength. Dan Zaccariello led off while battling for the
lead and was followed by solid legs by Adam Civitano & Nick Italiano. Alex
Civitano made his "big race" debut with a 7 sec PR in the 1600. On the
double, Nick Italiano (50.9), Adam Civitano, Chris Murphy and Dan Zaccariello
broke the school record in the SMR. As a matter of fact, the foursome just
missed defeating the defending national champions in the event.
Frank Sconzo has a GREAT day with a big day in the hurdles and LJ. The
Soph 4x200 runs a very nice race.

The 2009-2010 indoor season kicks off with fine performances across the
board. The 4x800 relay of Mike Baio, Nick Italiano, Adam Civitano & Dan

record for his race from the ACT test site to the Armory) The SMR's

the team solid efforts in the very crowded fields. Zaccariello, boxed in
traffic throughout, posted a time of 17:23, while passing several runners once
he finally got clear. Junior Alex Civitano topped several of the league's
top runners and enjoyed his first state meet experience by running 17:41. (He
didn't let losing to Coach in bowling the night before effect his race!!)
11/14 - CHSAA Intersectionals - VCP
A rough day for what has been a spectacular XC '09 season. Team-wise
it just didn't happen today. All was not lost as Dan Zaccariello & Alex

and is the 3rd consecutive year we have finished in 2nd place which bodes well
for the future. The "B" squad places 7 in the top 10 en route to a 1st
place team finish.

runner-up spot. Today's 2nd place varsity finish is the best showing in

between. The freshmen have a banner day with a surprise 2nd place finish
in a tight team battle. Three points separated St. Joe's, Fordham and
Xavier. Mike Ceciliani, Luigi Tirro and Daniel Acerra crack the frosh

performances. Daniel Zaccariello leads the team to a 3rd place finish by
way of his runner-up performance. Tyler Franco steps up as the #5 man as

team as Nick Italiano and Pat Lewis also crack the top 15. Freshmen Luigi
Tirro runs a huge race and is the 5th man on JV. Due in large part to
Tirro, the team finishes in 2nd place which ties our best finish ever. A
big second half of the race sets up the
JV team for success.
Capt. Dan Zaccariello finishes
in 2nd place, for #2 All-Time!
