11/1/11 - NYCHSAA Championship - VCP - Only 3 days after a one-of-a-kind snowstorm postponed the Sectional Champs, a one-of-a-kind performance was turned in by Mike Dugan and his Freshman teammates, who won the NYCHSAA Archdiocesan championship over favorite Xavier HS, behind the inspiring race from Dugan. Mike won the 1.5 mile race in a time of 8 minutes 16.5 seconds, breaking the 43 year-old school record set by Hall of Famer Brian Faraci '72, who also set the record winning the Sectional champs back in 1968. Mike's time is only 4 seconds off the Archiocesan record and only 6 seconds from the NY State Catholic school record. 3rd place in the meet went to another budding star as Joe Prunty '15 logged a time of 8:42 for 7th best in Prep history, and Kyle Guzman's 8:58 clocking is good for 11th best ever. With help from sold races by Paul McGovern, Arthur Condor, Eamon and Pat Coughlin, the Rams put 7 kids in the top 20 to seal the meet. The Frosh B team also edged Xavier behind Mike Miano, Stephen Clow, Jamie Brown, Greg Apostle and Dave Vitiello.
Not to be outshone, Jonathan Calvello took his place in the Prep annals as he became only the 7th sophomore to break the 14 minute barrier over the 2.5 mile course. Jon led the Varsity to 5th place at the Sectionals.
