The 2007 J-E Eagle Harriers
Jeff Donohue - Senior, Co-Captain. Jeff has been the squad's MVP the last two seasons and hasn't been beaten by a J-E runner over that time. Jeff dedicated himself for his senior season by running indoor and outdoor track and looks to be a sure bet to make states. Jeff's run 4.59 for the mile and 10.28 for the 3200. Jeff also loves the steeplechase and his personal best is 11.00 for 3,000 meters.
Donato Direnzo - Senior, Co-Captain. Donato was selected as the 2006 J-E Most Improved Runner and looks to be even more improved from his junior season. Direnzo finished as the cross country team's 2nd man. Donato has run 4.57 in the mile and 2.12 in the 800 in track. Donato has run 11.07 in the 3,000 steeplechase. Another week at Aim High has energized this senior harrier.
Jake Griffin - Senior. "Griff" was consistently a scorer for the 2006 J-E Cross Country squad, in fact, Jake scored in 8 of the first 9 races of the season and scored as the team's 3rd man twice. Griffin finished as the team's 6th man. Jake also excels in track as he's run the 200 meter dash in 24 flat and the 400 in 54.2. Jake looks to be a solid varsity runner and a scorer for the Eagles again this season.
Zac Darling - Senior. Darling is a first year J-E runner and looks to compete for a varsity position. Darling is an accomplished varsity wrestler and he compiled a 37 and 3 record during the 2006-07 wrestling season. Darling also ran sprints for the varsity track team.
George Brauchle - Junior. Brauchle is coming off a successful track season where he posted personal bests of 5.46 in the mile and 2.18 in the 800. Brauchle was one of the team's leaders in summer training mileage. George has a solid shot of making the varsity 'seven' in this third year of varsity cross country.
Kyle Becker - Junior. Becker enters his third season of cross country and was the 11th in total points in 2006. Kyle had an outstanding junior varsity lacrosse season as he led the team in scoring with 15 goals.
Brendan Hogan - Junior. Brendan enters his third year of cross country with a solid summer of training under his belt. He is an outstanding sprinter and has competed in indoor and outdoor track the last two seasons.
Mike Marerro - Sophomore. Marerro is quickly building a resume at Jordan-Elbridge and it is hard to believe that he is only a sophomore. Mike looks to be the squad's # 2 man. Marerro has run 5.01 in the mile and 10.49 in the 3200. Mike attended Aim High this summer and a much improved runner than he was a freshman. Mike competed in indoor and outdoor track and was one of the team leader's in summer mileage.
Do you know these guys? The J-E squad following a pre-season workout.
Cody Stanton - Sophomore. Big things are brewing for this J-E sophomore. Stanton was the squad's 7th leading scorer in 2006 and has worked very hard to become a top runner. Stanton won the Weedsport Invitational JV Race in October of 06 and ran a personal best time of 5.11 for the mile in outdoor track. It will hard to keep Stanton out of the top 5 of the squad in 2007.
Dylan Kirk - Sophomore. Kirk enters his 2nd year of varsity cross country and looks to move up on his junior varsity ranking. Dylan competed in varsity track in 2007 and became a pole vaulter, an event that requires strength, speed, agility, and fearlessness.
Matt Sullivan - Sophomore. Matt is an experienced "harrier" as he is entering his 2nd year of varsity cross country. Matt is particularly talented at the jump events in track.
Kyle Alpha - Sophomore. After a serior knee ailment took most of Alpha's 2006 season, his energies were directed toward cheering on his teammates. Kyle was the squad's web master and video 'eye'. With a full release from the doctor, Alpha looks to become competitive again and wants desperately to race.
Tom Poppe - Freshman. Poppe, a 4-time race winner during the 2006 Jr. High Cross Country season, including a dramatic victory in the Weedsport Invite in October. 'Pops' looks to win a varsity position in his first year. Tom also played on the modified basketball and baseball teams. Poppe may surprise some of his older teamates during this, his freshman campaign.
Greg Bader - Freshman. Greg has decided to give cross country a try after two seasons of playing modified football. Bader is also a basketball and baseball player and plays the sax in the marching band.
Carlin Coomey - Freshman. Carlin looks to compete on the Junior Varsity squad in his first year of varsity cross country. Coomey ran Jr. High Cross Country last season.
