Sagamore, Samoset and Seneca Middle School student-athletes traveled to Sachem High School East on Oct. 2 to participate in Sachem’s 41
st annual Jeff Stone Memorial Cross Country Run.
“Jeff Stone was a Sachem teacher and coach for track and cross country,” Seneca Cross Country Coach Heidi Michta said. “In a quote by another prominent runner and coach lost too soon in Sachem, Charlie Johnson, ‘Mr. Stone was a major influence in the growth of the running programs here at Sachem. His knowledge, guidance and encouraging words will be missed, but not forgotten.’”
“Sachem has a fine lineage of runners that stems back decades,” Sachem East Boys Cross Country Coach Joe Orenzo said. “The Jeff Stone run is one of Sachem's finest traditions and one that fosters a love of running, competition and sportsmanship. Some of our best and strongest county and state runners got their start by running in the Jeff Stone meet.”
