Hurdlers, Bednarz, earn All-American Status at National Championships
Mar 9, 2007 - National Scholastic Indoor Champs - Armory
After nearly 40 years of coaching at the three Jesuit High Schools in NYC, seeing thousands of shuttle hurdle relays in hundreds of CHSAA Meets, Coach George Febles Sr. has now coached the fastest Catholic School Shuttle Hurdle team ever.
After setting the State Catholic 3-man relay back in December, the team of Palicka, McCabe, Kanu and Andreycak went on to win the 4-man relay at the Marine Corps Meet only to see an injury to Mohamed hamper much of the relay season. But today, patience paid off. The squad took 3rd at the Nationals in a time of 30.22, smashing the CHSAA, State Catholic and, it is believed, the National Catholic record. On Saturday at the Nike Indoor Nationals in Maryland, the hurdlers again medalled with a 6th place performance, breaking last year's 5-hurdle school record by .04 seconds.
On Sunday, Senior Jon Bednarz placed 6th at the NSIC meet to medal and add All-American to the many accolades he's won this year.
Also, Senior Vin Fata set the school standard for the 5000 meter run, running a strong 16:07.43 to take 23rd. Dan Altenau and Ed Jennings made fine showings in their first Nationals at 17:32 and 17:46, the the 4x400 of Keefer, Hemsley, Petrovich and Keefer ran 3:31.58. Chris Hunt's Story in the Journal News

Mar 3 - NY State Championships - Cornell U., Ithaca, NY
Jon Bednarz captures 3rd place with 15'3" vault! Equals best ever finish for Prepster (Lloyd Nolan 3rd in 1999). Matt Keefer 7th in Prep "flat-floor" 600m record 1:23.62 (old rec Rob Weitzman 1:24.65, 1996). Soph Jourdan White wets feet, and appetite, with 6'0" opening height clearance at States. Congrats on this exemplary representation at States!

Sat Feb 17 - Hall of Fame Meet - Armory
Great efforts all around. Jon Bednarz preps for States with 14'6" win over NY State's top 6 vaulters. James Schindler sheds albatross.....vaults 12’0”! Zach Keefer, Jared Blake, Wayne Seaton, and Carlos Petrovich take down 5 year old Soph SMR school record. PRs also came from Matt Keefer, Chris Corsillo and Corey Punter in the varsity SMR anchored by Pat Hemsley. Brian Andreycak and Mo Kanu tune up for Nationals with 8.15 and 8.27 HH trips. Also, the Soph 4x4 took a close 2nd, just missing the soph school record despite Jourdan White's coming right off of high jump (8th with 6' effort), Wayne Seatonlosing a shoe, and Zach Keefer's being tripped and falling at line. Their time of 3:34.10 portends the possibility that one of the toughest records on the Prep books (3:33.58, 2002) may fall before season's end.

1/10/07 - CHSAA Millrose Trials - Armory
In what may have been the fastest CHSAA Millrose trials ever, the Prep clocked an outstanding 8:07.21 for a close 7th place. The squad certainly "left it all on the track" as each ran his best 800m ever. So "the streak" may be over, but that does not mar what is fast becoming an outstanding indoor season. And to quote the old Brooklyn Dodger mantra......"wait 'til next year"!

Ties School record set at this same meet 4 years ago. At the time, Gavin McMahon's winning vault was the CHSAA and Armory record as well as the 3rd best vault in NY State History. As a key Armory figure remarked last week, Coach Carney has been a leader in the revival in the Pole Vault.
Sat 12/30 - CHSAA Junior Midget/ Novice Champs - Armory

Journal News Article by Chris Hunt
From the Halls of Montezuma......er, the Armory, the Prep scored points all over the map ("to the shores of Tripoli"?...) . The hurdlers kicked off the meet with their second meet and league record of the year, blazing to a 30.89 clocking for the 4-man relay. They broke the 7 year old meet record by .35 seconds for Coach Febles, Sr. just before he underwent arthroscopic surgery (which went very well!). Then, the deluge. The Soph 4x800m took 6th led by Harley Griffiths' 2:07 and Phil O'Connell's 2:08 performances, and the Soph 4x200 placed 4th with 3 runners breaking 25 seconds. The Frosh ran 2 relays and medaled in both, and Long Jumpers Mike Ulanski (18'11") and Jourdan White (19'5") took 6th. Coach Carney won his 2nd Marine Corps Pole Vault Relay (last time won in 2001), and the 4x800m Relay of Matt Keefer (1:59.6), Sophs Zach Keefer and Carlos Petrovich (2:05.6 & 2:06.1) and Pat Hemsley (2:01.8) turned heads with their 4th place time of 8:14!

Joe Fox Track
Newly installed, along with a state of the art turf field, in June 2005, the Joe Fox Track is the only Mondo track made specifically for a New York City High School. Mondo is the highest quality synthetic track surface available, used at all Olympic Games since 1992, and at New York City's two premier track and Field facilities: The Armory Track and Field Center and Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island. Many Prep alumni and parents contributed to this project and we wish to extend our thanks to all of them.
The track is 242 meters around; the 3200 meter run is 13 laps plus 54 meters, and the 1600 meter run is 6 and one half laps. We will have splits called at 400m marks, and will have lap counters for both lead and lapped runners. Spikes are allowed in races.
