Summary
Athletics presenter Zach Ticelli recognized Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk student-athletes for the winter season, naming individual honorees across basketball, bowling, track, wrestling and cheer, and announcing the boys swimming program's first Section 2 championship.
Athletics presenter Zach Ticelli told the Board of Education on Thursday that Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk student-athletes posted strong winter results across multiple programs, and he asked the board to join him in recognizing standout performers and coaches.
Ticelli opened the presentation by saying the district saw "strong participation across all levels of RC, JV, and modified, with our student athletes demonstrating not only competitive success, but also sportsmanship." He highlighted the boys basketball team's 13'and'8 record and named players honored by the Colonial Council, including Liam Borsock (third team) and Terray Green (honorable mention). He also noted senior scholar-athlete honors for Cody Reveille.
Ticelli recounted the girls basketball team's season, saying the program earned its first sectional win in six years after winning the Hudson Valley holiday tournament. He recognized season leaders Hayden Wolf and Macy Raymond and thanked senior contributors Megan Fasone and Leila Rabideau.
On bowling, Ticelli named Ryan Bednati as team MVP and noted contributions from a seventh grader, Eliza Chilly Taylor, while crediting coaches for improving participation. In indoor track and field, he singled out sectional champions including Lucas Briscoe (pole vault) and Reese Graham (shot put) and called Piper Waddell a standout distance runner.
Ticelli announced a milestone for the district's boys swimming and diving program: "First time in school history being Section 2 champions," he said, adding the team went undefeated in Division 2 and naming Brett Hungerford as team MVP and members of the 400 freestyle relay. He praised coaches by name and requested a group photo with the athletes.
He closed by thanking volunteers, coaches and families for their work supporting student-athletes and encouraged continued promotion of athletics across the district.
The presentation concluded with the board inviting honored students forward for photos; no formal action was required or taken on the athletics presentation.
