This Year's Outlook
Stuyvesant just edged out Midwood for last year's PSAL title, but this year with four of last year's top 5 back, the Peglegs appear to have a huge gap over the rest of the teams at the start of the year. Kiyan Tavanangar who lost a close finish-stretch battle to Curtis's John Akakeya for 1st in the PSAL last year is back and should be well supported by top-20 guy senior Harvey Ng and a few younger guys who should be moving up this year. And though a few runners may find it tough to run under the universally accepted Stuyvesant mascot name (Wikipedia and noted sports info sites all agree that Peglegs is what the Stuy guys are), as the XC saying goes, "Pain is temporary, but Pegleg pride lasts forever."
