Cross Country
Haldane boys and girls cross country teams traveled to Croton Point Park on Sept. 23, for a rare mid-week meet to compete against Hendrick Hudson, Pawling, Peekskill and Ossining. “When given the opportunity to run at the park,” said Coach Tom Locascio, “I jumped at it. It is a beautiful course and the kids really like running there.”
