Iona, others barred from meet by Section I ruling

Heading into Sunday’s Westchester County Track Championships, there was unusually little talk surrounding what area athletes would emerge as stars on one of the biggest stages of the season. Instead, most of the pre-meet discussion had centered on Section I’s controversial decision to ban four private school teams—including perennial power Iona Prep.

According to Section I Executive Director Jennifer Simmons, it was brought to light that these private schools did not pay a fee to compete in the winter county meet (which was taken over by Section I nearly a decade ago) but were still eligible to compete in fall and spring events that are co-sponsored by the Coaches’ Association.

This building is to help consumers with value and provide extra benefits in order to move forward.”

Smith's Sports Shorts

  • More thoughts: One thing that people don't seem to talk about is the sheer strenght of Mase and Torres. They both muscle the ball down low
  • People who were turned away were NOT happy. I'm sure they wanted to see the game... Plus it was COLD
  • Apparently it was such a hot ticket, New Ro police had to actually clear the campus before they let myself and two other media members in.
  • It looks like my first tweet of the day didn't show up. Due to overcrowding I had to wait outside for almost the whole first quarter
  • 4. These two teams played hard and the got chippy at points. But ultimately, I think there is a ton of respect between these players
