This Year's Outlook
The Falcons put a big scare into Brooklyn Tech at last year's PSAL championship and almost earned their school a sweep of the team titles following the victory of their boys' squad. With the top four runners from last year's race back and only one gone from the 2017 varsity, Susan Wagner is very well set with a deep enough squad to claim a title it has not won in at least ten years. Sophomore Kathryn Altieri appears ready to challenge for a top 5 spot in the PSAL, and if a group of seniors can push a little upward for top 20 spots in the conference, the Falcons may have enough SWagger to take the first title for a Staten Island school since McKee Tech won the 2013 crown.
