STATEN ISLAND — Saratoga Springs runners Jacob Bernd, Luke Dacey, Owen Blaisdell, and Thomas Isenovski won the 4×800 meter relay finals at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s (NYSPHSAA) indoor track and field championships in Staten Island last weekend. They set a new school record of 7:53.72.

“They all made the decision as a group to forego individual events in order to pursue the state champ in the relay,” Coach Shane Zanetti said. “They knew that they had a good chance to win the race and they all felt it was important to be completely committed to each other. They ran smart, stayed calm, and focused on running selflessly. When you can do that, and you are as talented and hard working as they are, you have a chance at a state championship.”
