For the Suffern Girls Lacrosse team and many individuals on the Suffern track team, the final push of the season has led them to the state competition. The same can be said of the Suffern Economics Club, which also made a strong showing the  New York State Economics Challenge that involved 21 teams and was sponsored by the National Council for Economic Education.

And the Suffern Girls Lacrosse team defeated the Guilderland Dutchmen in Saturday’s regional final to  advance to the state semi-finals on Friday, June 5, in Cortland vs. Pittsford.

Senior Imani Solan continued her incredible high school career, helping the Mountie girls team dethrone 3x champ New Rochelle and take top honors in Section Class A track. Solan won the 100 meters, 200 meters and anchored the girls’ winning 4×100 relay — and will compete at state in all of those events. Sophomore sensation Kamryn McIntosh won the 400 and 800 meters, and anchored the girls’ champion 4×800 relay team

The Suffern Girls Track team completed the trifecta this year, winning league, county and sectional championships. Now Albany awaits in the coming weeks.
