Sydney Masciarelli Gatorade 2019 - 2020: Player of the Year Girls Cross Country

“Sydney continues to be an impressively focused and dedicated runner. She trained like an athlete much more seasoned than she is, and after the regular season ended, she continued to do runs and workouts by herself on an ice and snow covered track, without complaint.”
