Broncos Recognized at 2024 Spring Sports Awards

By S.Q. DeJoy and J. Murrer
June 20, 2024: Girls’ track and field team at the Spring Sports Awards evening on June 6th.
Bronxville athletes exceled this spring winning League and Sectional Championships and playing hard-fought battles against some of the top teams in the state. The boys’ tennis team won its second consecutive D2 State Championship, and the girls’ lacrosse team powered its way to the State Semifinals before falling to South Jefferson. The outdoor track and field teams sent 16 athletes to the New York State Championships.
The Broncos also competed at the National level last week. At the New Balance Outdoor Nationals in Philadelphia, Wyatt Gravier placed 14th overall in the U.S. in the 110m hurdles, and Henry Yu placed 20th in the freshman boys’ discus throw.
At the Sports Awards celebration last week, the girls’ outdoor track and field coach, Alex Barraco, reflected on what makes the girls’ track and field team so successful, but her words could apply to almost all Bronxville athletes.
“We are so proud of this team not only for their accomplishments but for their attitude and the characteristics they bring to the track every day. They come with a willingness to try new events, a readiness to push themselves through hard workouts in the cold, heat and rain, and to come back after a loss or a hard race and to support each other and have fun through all of it.”
