Coach Matthew Hemmer has been named the High School Boys Cross Country Coach of the Year for New York State by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for the second consecutive year. He has coached cross country since 2004 and ran for the Crusaders from 1992-1994.
Under Coach Hemmer's guidance, the Boys Cross-Country season had a magical postseason that included local victories in the OCIAA and Section 9 Class A Championship races. At the state level, the Crusaders earned the programs first NYSPHSAA Class A State Championship on November 16, and backed it up a week later with their third consecutive New York Federation State Championship. For the second straight year, the Crusaders earned the right to compete at the Nike National Championship in early December and finished in 20th place.
Congratulations, Coach! Way to show your #crusaderpride!⭐️👏🏃🏽
