SWR Wildcats | Tom Barton

The Shoreham-Wading River Boys Track Team clinched the League Championship for the second consecutive year.

The team has a number of key performances to ensure they would take home their back to back titles.

Freshman Frank Valenti was able to clock a time of 8.41 seconds in the 55m High Hurdles. That was the best mark for all freshmen and sophomores in Suffolk county and was also the best time on the entire Island. With that record setting time as a freshman he was able to secure a 4th place finish.

The Wildcats grabbed a 1st place victory when Spencer Lee won tee 3200-meter race. Patrick Shea finished in 2nd place as he delivered a strong performance in the 1600-meter.

Michael Huebner was able to take home two honors with a first and second place finish in two different events. Huebner won the 1000-meter and placed 2nd in the 300-meter.

Cameron Sheedy and Kyle Schiff took home 3rd and 4th place finishes while Logan Jung dominated in the High Jump. Leyton Mangiamele secured a 4th place nod there as well. Both Jung and Mangiamele also excelled in the Long Jump, finishing 3rd and 4th, respectively.

Jarrell Winston added a 2nd place finish to the trophy case in the 600-meter and the 4x200 relay team achieved a commendable 4th place finish.

Beating the rest of the field the 4x800 A and B teams dominated their event, securing 1st and 2nd places, respectively, to seal the championship victory for SWR.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
