In 2024 The Sabers captured their school record 7th AAIS Track & Field Championship, and for the 11th consecutive season had multiple student-athletes represent the program at the prestigious NY State Federation Track & Field Championship. 

In 2025 and 2026, the team finished as the AAIS Championship Runner-up, again sending multiple athletes to compete in the NYS Federation Championships.

The 2022 Track & Field Team returned to action with dominant performances in both the AAIS and NYSAIS Championship meets.  The team takes great pride in their depth, balance and ability to score points in bunches in all disciplines (sprints, relays, distance, mid-distance, jumps and throws) for true TEAM track. Spence captured the 2022 NYSAIS gold medal in the Discus, with a school record throw of 90’ 9”.

 

In 2019, the Sabers’ Varsity Track and Field Team won its fifth league title in the past six years, scoring a league record 210 points in the league’s championship meet. After breaking a school record that had stood since 1999, the Sabers set new school records in the 4x100m Relay in three consecutive meets (AAIS Championship, NYSAIS Championship and NY State Federation Championship). The Sabers finished 3rd at the NYSAIS State Championship with the 4x100m and 4x400m Relays earning gold medals at the NYSAIS Championship. At the 2015 NYSAIS Federation State Championship, the 4x400m relay team set a school record, breaking the magical four-minute mark.

 

Student-athletes train to compete in a variety of events. There is a continued focus on individual skill development as student-athletes strive for personal bests as well as scoring points for the team. Students will incorporate their skills into the team meet setting for a highly challenging and complete track and field experience. Practice will most often be in Central Park and Icahn Stadium at Randall’s Island. As is the case with all varsity teams, track is a Monday-through-Friday commitment and also has occasional weekend competitions. Athletes are required to train in running shoes and to compete in event-appropriate shoes.
