RIVERHEAD, NY — For the first time in 13 years, the Riverhead High School boys cross country team has captured the league championship. Throughout the season, the Blue Waves remained dominant and undefeated, school officials said.

"This is a really special group of young men who have put in countless hours of training," Riverhead boys cross country head coach Tyler Lobenhofer said. "They made sacrifices, committed to one another, and worked incredibly hard to make this happen."

While he accomplishment marks the team’s first league championship in over a decade, the Riverhead High School cross country program has cultivated exceptional talent in recent years, with numerous record-breaking performances and all-league honors, the coach added.

"Our student-athletes work diligently to represent Riverhead with pride," Coach Lobenhofer said. "We thank the entire school community for its continued support of our team."
