Red Jacket Modified Boys Cross Country Team Wraps Up Fantastic Season!
The Red Jacket Modified Boys Cross Country Team capped off an outstanding season with a remarkable 20-1 record, showcasing teamwork, determination, and incredible performances at every race. From the first race to the last, the team proved what it means to support one another and push each other to new heights.
One of the biggest highlights of the season was their performance in the Wayne-Finger Lakes League Championship, where the team took 2nd place overall. The boys also earned 1st place in the Finger Lakes West Division, a huge accomplishment for the entire team.
Several athletes had standout performances at the championship meet. A special shout-out goes to Nash Owczarzak (3rd), Reed Laursen (6th), Viktor Johnstone (7th), and Liam O’Hora (10th), who all finished in the top 10. Sidney Mobley wasn’t far behind, finishing in 13th place.
This success didn’t come easy—Coach Mitchell Lalik had nothing but praise for his team’s hard work throughout the season:
"I am extremely proud of these kids and the work ethic they displayed from start to finish. All 7 runners helped us score throughout the season, including invitations at McQuaid, Newark, and Hilton. We were able to stay competitive with some of the biggest Class A schools in Rochester. As all athletes are currently in 8th grade, they will surely make a big mark next year on Varsity!"
The team’s success this season is a direct result of the dedication and leadership from Coach Lalik and volunteer assistant coach Lisa Lombardi. Their guidance and encouragement were key in helping the athletes achieve their best.
The full roster of athletes who made this season so successful includes:
- Eddie Cabrera
- Viktor Johnstone
- Reed Laursen
- Quentin McBride

This season showed the importance of teamwork, hard work, and dedication. Congratulations to the entire team on an amazing year! With such a strong season behind them, these athletes are ready for even more success next year. We can’t wait to see them take the next step on the Varsity team!
