CHRIS BELCHER

Congratulations to Sayville Senior and three-year Varsity Winter track champion Chris Belcher for his outstanding athletic accomplishments and career in Boys Track. Focused on the 55m this year, Chris has been undefeated, ranking 8th in the country. This season alone, Chris Belcher achieved All State, with the 1st Place NYS 55m Championship, All County with 1st Place Suffolk County Championship and a Suffolk County Record Holder in 55m with 6.35 time, and is Small School Champion in the 55m. Chris took 1st Place in the 55m at the Milrose Games and is now the record holder, 1st Place in Elite Invitational in the 55m, is the Stanner Games Champion in the 55m, and achieved All League as well. 

Chris has also received the Section XI New York state Sportsmanship Award.

MATTHEW LESHINGER

Congratulations go to Sayville Senior and champion wrestler at 132 lbs, Matthew Leshinger.  In addition to earning 2013 League Champion, Matt accomplished his personal goal—to beat his previous rank of third place to become All-State 2013 Champion.

With an overall record of 154-26, Matt has been an All-League Finalist for four years winning the title of 2013 Champion , as well as All-County for four years, winning Suffolk County Championships for both 2012 and 2013. In his second year ranking at All-State, Matt won the 2013 Championship at 132 lbs in the Division I state wrestling tournament. (Last year, Matt finished third. Matt’s win this year gave Sayville its second ever State championship since Peter Yozzo won it in 1983.)

Even before winning this year’s spectacular State Championship, All-State Wrestler Matt, who has a weighted GPA of 93.567, was recruited by Columbia University Head Coach Carl Fronhofer and has selected Columbia for next year.
