Shenendehowa celebrates national titles, sectional champions and coach retirements at year‑end meeting
Summary
The Shenendehowa board heard an athletics director year‑end report highlighting 622 spring athletes, multiple sectional and state qualifiers, two national titles for girls track, numerous all‑American recognitions, and retirement honors for longtime coach Jason Berling.
The Shenendehowa Central School District’s board meeting featured a substantial athletics showcase that reviewed spring seasons, individual honors and program milestones.
An athletics director reported 21 teams across eight sports with approximately 622 spring athletes and 46 coaches. The district noted multiple section champions and state qualifiers across girls and boys programs. Highlights included girls track: a national championship in the distance medley relay, two national titles for the senior group and multiple all‑American certificates; the 4x mile and 4x400 relay teams earned high national finishes and set school and section records.
Athletic academic achievement was emphasized: eight varsity teams met the scholar‑athlete threshold (75 percent of roster with a GPA of 90 or higher) and 136 individual scholar‑athlete recognitions were reported.
The board recognized longtime boys track and field coach Jason Berling on his retirement. Presenters also detailed other team successes (tennis sectional champions, golf state qualifiers, flag football growth and unified sports participation) and noted the district’s plans to support unified athletics, coach professional development, and next season’s program growth.
Board members and the public applauded the student athletes, coaches and staff. No district policy changes or funding votes specific to athletics were taken at the meeting; the presentation served as a year‑end recognition and program summary.
