The Rocky Point boys cross country team traveled to Wappingers Falls this weekend and turned in a strong performance against some of the top competition in the state.
The race was held in upstate New York at Bowdoin Park, a course well known for its steep hills and demanding terrain. The course is also familiar to this Rocky Point Eagles Cross Country team. Those challenges didn’t faze the Eagles, who embraced the opportunity to test themselves against elite runners.
Leading the way for Rocky Point was standout Trevor Green, who clocked an impressive 17:04. Green once again showed why he is among the premier runners not only in Suffolk but on Long Island, placing near the top of the leaderboard in another competitive invitational.
Green is no stranger to success on tough courses. He currently owns some of the fastest times among returning Long Island runners, highlighted by his 16:18.3 at Sunken Meadow and an equally strong 16:17.9 at Bowdoin Park last season. He has consistently proven he can compete at the highest level, regardless of the venue.
Last year, Green placed ninth overall in the prestigious Federation Meet, a race that brings together the best athletes from across New York State. He also turned in a stellar performance at the NYSPHSAA Championships, finishing fifth at Queensbury with a time of 16:04.1. Those marks established him as one of the top returning runners heading into the 2025 season.
In addition to his accomplishments on the trails, Green is also one of the top swimmers in Suffolk County. His dedication across multiple sports highlights his versatility and competitive drive, qualities that have made him a leader for Rocky Point.
With Green setting the pace, the Eagles will look to continue building momentum as the season progresses and championship meets draw near.
