Sachem North girls XC hosts awards lunch

The Sachem North girls cross country (XC) team held its annual team awards lunch on Saturday, November 22.

The lunch was held – as it has for the past decade – at the Crystal Gardens restaurant in Lake Ronkonkoma.

The 2014 XC team recently concluded its most successful season since the 1998 county championship season.

Team members received Varsity and JV awards as well as other awards and honors for the 2014 season. Our team scrapbook and coach’s diary was also distributed to all team members.
