Five of Briarcliff High School’s top athletes were recognized today before moving on to state level competitions. The athletes, in swimming and cross country, attended a send-off ceremony, along with their families and the class of 2021 students in the high school gym.

The ceremony began with the National Anthem, followed by a speech by Athletics Director Chris Drosopoulos.

“I am blessed to have the best student body, teachers, coaches, families, administration and support staff in all of Section One,” he said. “You are incredible!”

Mr. Drosopoulos was followed by varsity swimming and diving coach David Bruskewicz, who introduced the four swimmers: Annabelle Kung, Ursula Ott, Hannah Melnick and Katie Lynch. The students are part of Team Tsunami, which includes students from several other area schools. Mr. Bruskewicz discussed the students’ achievements in detail and mentioned their academic success as well.

“These student athletes work very hard in the classroom, as well as in the pool,” he said. “Be proud of these Briarcliff Bears – they work hard to be the best they can be to represent us. Go Bears! Go Tsunami!”

Zachary Rose, varsity coach for cross country, track and spring track, introduced Giovanni Cullota and described his accomplishments as well.

Here is the full list of students and their respective state-level competitions:
