THE POSTS ALL-CITY GIRLS TRACK TEAM
Athlete of the Year:
Alexis Panisse,
Benjamin Cardozo
The Tennessee-bound Panisse enjoyed a season for the ages as the Judges again captured the PSAL indoor and outdoor city titles. She was first PSAL female cross-country runner to qualify for the Foot Locker National Championships and was the first in a decade to run the invitational mile at the Millrose Games. Panisse ran the state’s best 600-meter time indoors this season and broke the 2,000 steeplechase meet record at the Mayor’s Cup. She won a city and state title in the 3,000 indoors.
Coach of the Year:
Gail Emmanuel,
Benjamin Cardozo
The Judges were dominant again, but not the way they are used to. In a school year when many thought it might finally falter, Cardozo won its sixth straight PSAL indoor title — without Miami-bound star Lateisha Philson — and fifth consecutive outdoor crown by a narrow margin.

THE POSTS ALL=CITY BOYS TRACK TEAM
Athlete of the Year:
Robert Rhodes,
Boys & Girls
The UConn-bound Rhodes ran with a refuse-to-lose attitude for Boys & Girls, which won its first PSAL indoor city title since 1998. He beat Columbus’ Strymar Livingston to claim the PSAL 1000-meter indoor and 800-meter outdoor crowns. He ran the state’s fifth-best time in the 800 indoors and second best (1:50.57) outdoors, taking third at New Balance Nationals. Rhodes also anchored the Kangaroos’ national championship 4 x 800 and 4 x 400 relays.
Coach of the Year:
Amateka Morgan,
Boys & Girls
Along with assistant coach James Jackson, Morgan has helped the Kangaroos return to prominence at the city and national level. Boys won its first PSAL indoor city title with a mix of graduating and budding stars. The Brooklyn school’s 4 x 800 and 4 x 400 relays combined to win three national titles this year. The 4 x 800 team also qualified for the Penn Relay Championship of America final.

THE POSTS ALL-CITY BOYS LACROSSE TEAM
Player of the Year:
Grady Smith, Fieldston
Fieldston returned to prominence this season, and versatile Smith was a big reason why. The senior midfielder and All-Ivy League first-team selection was the offensive linchpin for the Eagles. He had 45 goals and 30 assists to help his team to a second-place finish in the Ivy League and its first berth in the NYSAISAA title game since 2009.
Coach of the Year:
Demetrios Haronitis, Tottenville
It was title or bust for a senior-laden Tottenville team that Haronitis helped develop. That goal was realized when the Pirates brought home their first PSAL Class A crown since 2004 by beating New Dorp, 5-4, in dramatic fashion. The journey wasn’t easy with plenty of tight wins and a surprising loss to Hunter. Still, Haronitis never exhibited less than 100 percent confidence in his club.

Player of the Year:
Lindsay Picard, Riverdale
The senior midfielder scored 71 goals and dished out 20 assists to lead Riverdale to a second-place finish in the Ivy League and a berth in the NYSAISAA semifinals. Picard shined in the big moments: She scored seven times, including the winner, against Fieldston in double overtime and had the tying score late to help beat Poly Prep in the playoffs.
Coach of the Year:
Leonard Hession, Tottenville
Tottenville was tested often, dealt with a loss to rival Curtis and grinded out multiple overtimes wins throughout the season. Those included a four-overtime affair against in the final to claim its second straight Class ‘A’ crown. Hession’s calmness, confidence and demanding style helped pull the Pirates through.
