SWR Girls XC Wear K to Honor Coach Koretzki

In the days after the passing of coach Paul Koretzki, the Shoreham-Wading River girls’ cross-country team won against Hampton Bays, taking 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7th places. Coach K would be happy!
They wore the letter “K” on their arms to honor their late coach.
After the meet, the girls laughed and said how he would have told them to “get on with it” and not mess around with orange ribbons and armbands.
We’re thinking about Coach K today and especially the rest of this season!
