On Nov. 9, West Hempstead Secondary School’s boys cross country team of Justin Delavandel, Jeremy Haynes, Joseph Santos-Acosta, Christian Dominguez and Lukas Santana advanced to the New York State Cross Country Championship with a first-place finish at the New York State Qualifiers.

This marks the first time in school history that the Rams have qualified as a team.

These six athletes will be representing West Hempstead at Queensbury High School on Nov. 16.
