Alden’s Boys cross country recently took first place at the Section 6 Cross Country Championships. The team was led by captain Adam Czech with a time of 17:15. Sophomore sensation, Bobby Adams was right on his heels, finishing with a time of 17:19. The difference maker of the race was rookie runner Josh Jeziorski. Simply put, Josh ran the race in beast mode. He ran his fastest time of the year! Josh posted a time of 17:54 and was the third man in for the Bulldogs. Carl Farrell finished just two seconds behind Josh to putting the Bulldogs in a great position to win the meet. The fifth runner in was David Andrzejewski with a time of 18:03. This solidified the win. If that wasn’t enough, Jordan Servos (18:24) and Dylan Collosanti (19:19) answered any question about who the best team in Class C was with their times. The boys dominated the race and will be moving on the New York State Championships in Brighton this Saturday.
