This track & field event hosted at Mahopac high school saw 450+ athletes compete in various events. The weather was awesome and the competition fierce. The athletes had a great day to compete, a wonderful facility at which to do it, and tremendous support of hundreds of volunteers and coaches to get it done!

Vin Collins, the point man at Mahopac, was instrumental in orchestrating near perfection in set-up and organization for the day! Thanks Vin, for making it “all good!”
Thanks to our key volunteers that come back, year after year, to get things started and help it run so smoothly. You are the BEST! As always, the Yorktown Elks were there taking care of things at the softball throw. To our returning crew: The Knight of Columbus, John and his son, Bob, Ward, Annie, Carol, Beth, Marlene, ME, Dee (welcome back), Chris, Bug, Marzie, Eileen, Tom, Kelly, Steve and of course, my “Boyz”.
