The High School Math Science Engineering Boys' Track Team had three qualifiers for the 2015 PSAL City Championship, Austin Carvey, Wayne Chim, and Lucian Ramnarase. The PSAL City Championship puts the best runners throughout the city on display.

The Dragons are excited to qualify for the city championship. The boys  practiced throughout the season to prepare for huge events like this. This is the first time in HSMSE’s two years as a varsity track team that students have qualified for the city championship. Chim qualified in the long jump with an impressive jump of 19'1". Carvey qualified in the 400 IH in 59.5 seconds. Ramnarase’s 4:42 time in the 1600 meter run also earned him a spot in the finals. The boys were close in qualifying in the previous season, which motivated them to improve this year.

“I was really close in qualifying last year, so I was really excited when I qualified," Carvey said

These athletes are competing with the best in the city in their respective categories. Mentally they are going to have to be ready for their toughest challenge this track season. The runners will hope to put on a good showing at the event while representing their school.

“I don’t really think about the race till the night before," Carvey said. "I am a bit nervous knowing that I am competing against the best runners in the city.”
