Antonio Camacho-Bucks Gatorade 2022 - 2023: Player of the Year Boys Cross Country

“Antonio Camacho-Bucks rode a pair of excellent performances on one of the nation’s most revered layouts at VanCortlandt Park to prove himself as one the northeast region’s premier talents. In mid-October, the Centennial High senior powered to a 12:17.5 clocking at the Manhattan College Invitational. His run at the Champs Sports Northeast Regionals was perhaps even more impressive.”
