GUILDERLAND — The four track-and-field athletes who were named All Americans at a national competition this month most often used the word “love” — not “pain” or “discipline” — to describe their relationship to their sport.

On Saturday, March 5, the Guilderland indoor track athletes took their talents to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association championships at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

On Friday, March 4, the Guilderville swim team — made up of boys from Guilderland and Voorheesville — competed in the preliminary round of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association championships at Ithaca College. Guilderville finished 22nd overall out of 147 schools.

The Voorheesville boys’ volleyball team faced off against fourth-seeded Chatham at Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk High School for the Section 2 Class C sectional semifinals on Tuesday, March 1.

On Tuesday, Mar. 1, the BKW Bulldogs traveled to Colonie High School for the Section 2 Class C sectional semifinals. BKW faced the second seeded Greenwich. The Bulldogs had a tough time against the Witches defense and fell 58-31.

On Sunday, Feb. 27 Storm hockey made its first appearance at Union College since the team was merged, battling the Adirondack Rivermen in the Section 2, Division I semifinals. They battled tough but fell, 2 to 1.

On Saturday, Feb. 26, the Guilderland Competitive cheer team, along with the other 26 Section 2 cheer teams, took part in sectional championships at Troy High School. Guilderland bested three other teams in the Large division 1 division.
