Immaculate High School Boys Indoor Track Team Wins Class S Championship & Girls Take Second

On February 14, the Immaculate High School (IHS) Boys Indoor Track Team won the Class S State Championship, while the Girls Team ran away with second place.

Both teams excelled at the championship meet held at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven, with the boys team winning with 55 team points and the girls team taking second place with 44 points, behind Bloomfield.

"These are a great group of young boys and girls who work so hard outside under extreme weather conditions. They never complain no matter what you throw at them and I am so proud to be allowed to coach them. They deserve their success very much,” said Coach Brian Hayes, who coaches the Indoor Track Teams with Carlo Pascuzzi.

"Both Coach Hayes and I are extremely proud of the effort the entire team put into the meet. Winning the State Championship is an amazing experience that we’ll always remember,” said Coach Pascuzzi.  “However, winning the title with such an amazing group of kids, now that’s what truly makes it special -- we are just thrilled to be able to share this experience with them,’’ he added.
