New Track and Field Debuts at Irvington High School

IRVINGTON, NY — Irvington Union Free School District administrators, community members and current and past high school coaches gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Meszaros Field and Oley Track prior to the start of the homecoming football game October 1.

The track and field are named after two Irvington sports legends, Harold Meszaros and Peter K. Oley, who were both instrumental in the success of the athletic program at the district, according to a spokesman. Their families were among dozens of people who attended the ceremony, and their sons, Steven Meszaros and Erik Oley, cut the green ribbon.

Irvington High School Principal David Cohen congratulated the Meszaros and Oley families and thanked Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kristopher Harrison, the Board of Education and community members for their hard work in making the field, track and new facilities a reality for the school community.

“It is amazing to have such incredible fields and facilities that our students will be able to utilize for many years to come,” Cohen said.

Dr. Harrison, Board of Education President Catherine Palmieri and Athletic Director Artie McCormack all expressed their gratitude to everyone who contributed to the development of the district’s vision for the new and improved facilities, a spokesman said.
