10/20 - Continued Improvement at Weedsport Invitational The boys' modified team continued their 2007 campaign on Saturday in Weedsport with another successful weekend. The boys showed continued improvement and are starting to close the gap between schools such as FM and Central Square. The Bees were once again led by a monster effort from Connor Martin, who earned a 10th place T-shirt. Joe Delia followed him home with a very fast time of 9:51.8 on the muddy terrain. Pat Colligan (22), John Matthews (33), and Drew Biederman (38) finished the scoring for the Bees. Nate LoParco had a fantastic start and finish to his race to come in 59th, while Justin Dalaba continued to show tremendous improvement and finished just behind Nate in 63rd position. The little engine that could, better known as Brandon McArdell, almost ran his fastest 1.5 mile time ever; quite an achievement given the difficulty of the course. Matt Purdy finished strong for the Bees as did Justin Allen and Jeremiah Johnson. Those three boys continue to push each other and, as a result, continue to see improvement each and every week. Pat Salerno closed out the Bees efforts for the day with a smile on his face. He has come a long way since the first day of practice and hopefully he will continue his progress. Get well wishes to Matt Noll, the team misses you and hopes you are feeling better.

10/13 - Bees Fly in Cato The Bees scored their first invitational win of the season at the Cato Invitational. The Bees were led by Connor Martin, Pat Colligan, John Matthews, Joe Delia, and first time scorer Drew Biederman.
