Hurta, Soccer Team Get Big Sendoffs

As it does so well, HCS sent a bunch of its student athletes off to top level competition in grand style this morning.

Cross country runner Sage Hurta and the Emerald Knights boys soccer team paraded through the halls of the school, greet by dozens of signs and the cheers of classmates, faculty and staff. Students in ever grade sent Hurta off to the New York Federation Championship and the boys soccer team to the final four in the post-season playoffs.

Hurta, a seventh grader, will be running against the top young female runners in the country. At the race in Wappingers Falls will be Aisling Cuffe, the top rated runner in New York state and the country.as well as members of the Saratoga Springs team, which is the number two ranked team in the nation.

The boys, after parading through the school, boarded a bus for the drive to Middletown, site of the state championship matches this weekend. They face Northstar Christian Academy of Rochester at 8:45 a.m. Saturday. If they win, they play the winner of the other Class D semi-finals, in which Chazy faces Fort Ann. That game will be played Sunday.
