Home of the Sabers:  2023 & 2024 AAIS Team Champions! 2024 NYSAIS Team Champions, #19 in the State of NY and NIKE NXR All-Region Team Honoree

In 2024, the Sabers XC Team had the most successful season in program history, winning both the AAIS and NYSAIS Team Championships and securing their first TEAM appearance in the NYS Federation Cross Country Championship.  The Sabers roared to a top 20 finish in the state, across all public, private, catholic and independent schools in the Federation Championship on their way to earning the program’s first ever NIKE NXR All-Region team honor for the overall performance of their top 7 runners.  The exciting group will return all top 7 runners for the Fall 2025 season.

In 2023 the youthful Sabers raced their way to the podium, winning the program's first AAIS Cross Country Championship title.  The pursuit of their first Championship title has been a process built on steady progress. 

In 2022, Spence finished 2nd at the AAIS Championship and had the third athlete in program history qualify for the prestigious NYS Federation Cross Country Championship, a race that features the top runners from public, Catholic, independent and PSAL schools across NY State.
 
In 2019, the Sabers had a breakthrough season, finishing 2nd in the AAIS and 3rd at the NYSAIS Championships. Following up on a historic 2018 AAIS milestone, where the first time in program history, each of the Sabers' top-5 scoring runners earned medals in the AAIS Championship Race; in 2019 Sabers' top medalists were all 9th,10th or 11th graders, setting the stage for continued program growth and excellence in 2020.
 
Practice is Monday through Friday and will most often be held in Central Park, and the team will also train on various other course terrains in preparation for AAIS and NYSAIS races conducted at Van Cortlandt Park. Athletes are required to run in proper running shoes
