JAMAICA, NY --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) Throughout the month of April, yorkathletics.com will highlight those who have given us everything they had on the playing fields with senior features for each team's 2020-21 senior class.  With the cancellation of sports for the 2020-21 academic year, York athletics will celebrate and recognize our seniors online and on social media with our #YorkSeniorDay.  Today, head coach Gregory Welch celebrates the three senior members of the men's cross country team and one on the women's squad for their dedication to York athletics.
