Make it two in a row for Mount Sinai's Jess Joe Augustine.
Augustine won his second consecutive State Championship this week with a breathtaking performance. Not only did he win the Steeplechase, but his time of 9:11.67 broke the Suffolk County Steeplechase record.
Records are nothing new for the senior as he will leave school holding nine different Mount Sinai High School records. It's even more eye-opening when you consider he was injured in 2022. One of his biggest accomplishments was breaking the 30-year-old 1600 school record held by Dan Dugan, with a time of 4:15.84. Earlier this month, he won the Tony Toro MVP trophy as the Top Runner for Suffolk County.
Augustine has committed to West Point USMA to continue his athletic and academic career.
