Phoenix Men Push Through Tough 8k at Queensborough Invitational

Bronx, NY – The Vaughn Phoenix men's cross country team competed at the Bard Invitational on Sunday, September 28. The meet, held at Van Cortlandt Park, featured more than 160 runners from across the region racing the demanding 8K (5-mile) course.
