Senior Renat Gosmanov, junior Rishab Arvind, sophomore Aniket Kothapolly, and eighth grader Ronith Arvind competed at the Boys State Tennis Championships with both doubles teams putting up strong fights in NYC.

Today, June 12, the girls lacrosse team took on Penfield in a fast and furious NYSPHSAA Class A Semifinal matchup.

Their journey to the Final Four marked just the second time in school history that the program has reached this stage! Congratulations to the entire team on a historic season!
