a cross country race with new rochelle athletes in the lead

New Rochelle High School senior cross-country runner Jackson O’Rourke and junior Jonas Krasner have earned the right to compete in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Cross Country Championships this Saturday, Nov. 14, in Queensbury, Warren County, NY.

The two finished in the top five at the Section One Class A race at Bowdoin Park in Wappingers Falls on Saturday, Nov. 7, to qualify for States. Krasner finished fourth in the 5K, and O’Rourke crossed the line just one second later to take fifth place.

The Journal News named both to the cross country Section 1 “Boys Super 7,” based on last year’s statistics and this year’s meets.
