“Lisandro was exceptional this season, clearly the class of the state. He is fun to watch because he can win a race with a variety of strategies, whether it is taking control of the race from the beginning, making a strong move mid-race or kicking to the finish off a slow pace.”

Jorma Kurry

Head Coach - Co-head coach of Falmouth High
