2015 STATEN ISLAND CHAMPIONS
    Vikings win the S.I. title for the 4th time!


1/17 - Staten Island Champs - Armory
The Vikings scored an impressive team victory for our first S.I. title since 2010 and our 4th overall. We scored in 15 out of 15 events. Junior Nick Velez earned the Track MVP award after a win in the 1000 and and a hard fought 2nd place and personal record in the 1600...after only 1 hour of rest. Joe Somma upsets the field in the 300 with 2 monster races. Garth Ikomi was crowned the Fastest Male in Staten Island off of his win in the 55 meter dash. Brandon Prato, the #4 seed going into the shot put, had a tremendous day with a 3 foot PR in the shot put en route to the win! The 4x800 ran competitive and on a big anchor leg by freshmen Michael Kieran, who raced like a veteran, nailed the victory. Click for an event-by-event summary & analysis.
