Bronxville High School recently welcomed New York State Senator Shelley Mayer to campus to recognize two exceptional athletic achievements that brought statewide distinction to the Bronxville community. During her visit, Sen. Mayer presented official proclamations honoring the Bronxville girls cross country team and the Bronxville boys varsity football team for their New York State championship titles.
The girls cross country team earned the New York State Class C Championship in November at Bowdoin Park in Wappingers Falls, finishing first against a competitive field of teams from across the state.
The boys varsity football team secured its state championship in December, marking the program’s first New York State title since 2010. The team’s season concluded with a decisive championship victory.
“It’s unbelievable that Senator Mayer took time out of her day to come and acknowledge our players,” said Coach Patsy Manginelli. “They work extremely hard and hold themselves to a high standard of effort, both on and off the field and in the classroom.
To be recognized at this level means a great deal to them and to our program.” During her remarks, Sen. Mayer commended the student-athletes for representing their school and community with excellence, noting that Bronxville’s success extends beyond academics to include outstanding athletic achievement. She also recognized the important role of coaches, administrators, and families in supporting student success.
