Congratulations to S-E varsity athletes who reached the postseason of the 2022-2023 Winter Sports season! Here’s a glance at what’s still going on and what already happened:

 

Sophomore co-captain Landon Andrade will wrap up the Marauders’ winter season this weekend at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Division II Championships at MVP Arena in Albany. Landon will take his 30-3 record into a first-round 285-pound match against John Glenn senior Melkin Alfaro-Chavez (22-1) on Friday, with the winner advancing to face second-seeded senior Trent Sibble (47-1) of Bolivar-Richburg. The top 285-pound seed in Division II is Warrensburg/Lake George senior Tristen Hitchcock (43-0).

Landon is the fifth Marauders' wrestler to compete in a state tournament this winter as teammates Selina Moore, Pasley French, Leonora Serrano and Gabby Naylor took part in the inaugural NYSPHSAA Girls Wrestling Invitational in January.

Opening ceremonies start at 9:30 a.m. Friday, followed by first-round matches at 10 a.m. Championship finals are scheduled to start at 6:05 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are managed by MVP Arena and are sold on-site at the ticket window or in advance through Ticketmaster (additional fees apply). Tickets cost $12 at the box office or $17.70 through Ticketmaster for single sessions; $36/$45.40 for all sessions (general admission); or $56/$67.80 for all sessions with premium seating for the finals only.

Amon placed third overall in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:11.92, shaving 1.5 seconds of his winning time during the Section III Class C Championships on February 15 at Nottingham. He also competed for the Marauders’ 200 and 400 free relay teams, which both featured personal-best split times for all members.
