Led by Anthony Maida's commanding victory in the varsity race, the Eagles defended their 2018 title successfully with back-to-back championships. All six Jones runners placed in the top-15 to earn All-City honors, with seniors Ryan DeSantis and Ian Bacon joining Maida in the top-five.
The freshmen 'Eaglets' also recaptured the City Championship in the most dominating win of the day, taking home their ninth freshmen title in ten years with a '1-5' finish to earn the perfect score. Freshman Danny Leonard earned his first individual title of his career to pace the team.
Keeping the program's longest streak alive, the JV team won their ninth City Championship in a row as they placed ten runners in the top fifteen behind Junior Ryan San Juan's individual win. Classmate Drew Blackledge and senior Matthew Lagges also finished in the top-five.
