On Sunday, Feb. 2, the Sachem East girls winter track and field team won the Suffolk County championship in dominating form, scoring 86 points, 50 points higher than the next-best team. In the clash of Suffolk’s large school teams, Sachem East made a statement win by compiling points with outstanding top individual performances, a depth of talent, and coverage of a wide array of events.

Individual county champions include Bella Galeas in the 300 meters and long jump, Sarafina Scavo in the 600 meters and Gianna Mauri in the 1500-meter race walk. Adding points to these individual winners include Bella Galeas (second in the 55-meter hurdles), Camryn Goodman (fifth in the 1000 meters), Aliayah Hollis (fifth in the long jump), Adriana Roa (third in the 1500 meters) and Julianna Wottawa (second in the 1500-meter race walk).

The team’s depth was on display in the relay events with county championship victories from the 4x800-meter relay of Abigail Erickson, Camryn Goodman, Adriana Roa and Sarafina Scavo and the 4x400-meter relay of Aliayah Hollis, Shana Lightell, Alexa Nieves and Sarafina Scavo.

Gianna Galeas (triple jump), Alexa Garitti (shot put), Chelsea Louisdor (shot put) and Courtney O’Hagan (55-meter hurdles) finished just outside of scoring but still buoyed the team’s success.

The 2025 Suffolk County Championship is the program’s fourth overall winter track title (their first since 2018) and 13th overall (including cross-country and spring track). This year’s win of 86 points is the second-highest point score by the East Arrows in program history and is the fifth most in Suffolk County history.
