The F-F boys cross country team made school history this fall, winning the cross country state championship held at Queensbury High School on Saturday, Nov. 12.

Seniors John Moore, Jeff Dufel and E.J. Givis, along with juniors Jeremy McAllister, Joe Geniti, Blake Dwyer and Brian Palumbo together brought in a score of 55 points at the championship meet - 12 points ahead of runner-up Canastota (Section III).

The win brought FFCSD its first state championship in interscholastic sports.

Head Coach Mark Therrien said the team started the season with one phrase in mind - "One Team, One Goal."

That goal he said, was to go all the way.

"Obviously its a great thing for the school, but the most important thing is that the guys are proud of themselves," Therrien said. "They had it in their heads that they were going to win the championship, and I was impressed by their long-term commitment."
