This past week, the Sheepshead Bay High School Track Team, coached by John Padula, Rori Kelly, and D.R. Phipps, has been in the news. The team participated at the state championships in Ithaca, NY.
While Ramapo’s runner stole first place from Sheepshead’s Paul Fyffe in the 800-meter relay, team member, Darryl Bradshaw (pictured above), raced to first place in the 55-hurdle race. Five Boro Sports and Lo Hud reported on how he took the state title.
Bradshaw and his team members, known as the Sharks, are no no strangers to the news. They were featured in a Daily News article last year for being a team to watch.
You can see sportswriter Christopher Hunt’s article at the Armory Track website outlining how Bradshaw trains.
