Mount Markham Spring Athletics
The spring season was very favorable to the Mustangs. Many programs had favorable outcomes with many students earning post-season awards. First, three teams earned NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete honors; they were Golf, Softball and Tennis.
The softball team finished the season in the quarterfinals wining two sectional games including knocking off the number 1 seed in the process. First Team All League winners were Madison Clark and Katie Huntley, while Layla Ali, Amber Bryce and Lauren Jones earned Honorable Mention.
