PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.
– The Plattsburgh State men's track and field team kicks off its 2022-23 indoor season on Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Saints Holiday Relays hosted by St. Lawrence University and looks to continue to climb the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) standings.
 
The Cardinals, who are led by second-year head coach Andrew Krug, tied for seventh at last year's conference meet, but they return a potent threat in senior Brexton Montville (Cadyville, N.Y./Saranac). Montville placed third in the 60-meter dash and sixth in the 200-meter dash at the 2022 SUNYAC Indoor Championships and will look to score in both events again this year.
 
Sprints
 
Beyond Montville in the sprint events, the Cardinals return senior Cody Monnat (Croghan, N.Y./Beaver River), who was a SUNYAC qualifier in the 400-meter dash last year. Other returning sprinters include seniors Cameron Giuliano (Shokan, N.Y./Onteora), Aidan Masten (Peru, N.Y./Seton Catholic) and Connor O'Neil (Dover Plains, N.Y./Dover), junior Levi Sochia (Norfolk, N.Y./Norwood-Norfolk) and sophomores Nicolas Anderson (Bronx, N.Y./All Hallows) and Thomas McDonough (Guilderland, N.Y./Guilderland) and Sean Ramirez (Farmingdale, N.Y./Farmingdale).
 
Newcomers to the sprint group include junior Mussa Kone (Bronx, N.Y./John Bowne) and first-year students Greyson Amankwah (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Spellman), Charles Cypress (New Windsor, N.Y./Cornwall), Stephen Fleury (Cadyville, N.Y./Saranac), Julius James (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Hayes) and Jordan Williams (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Hayes).
 
Distance
 
Fresh off of cross country season, Plattsburgh State has a strong stable of distance runners who will look to contribute, led by junior Michael Brockway (Washingtonville, N.Y./Washingtonville) and sophomore Noah Bonesteel (Averill Park, N.Y./Averill Park). Both Brockway and Bonesteel qualified for the SUNYAC Indoor Championships last year, with Brockway competing in the 5,000-meter run and Bonesteel competing in the mile run. Count on Brockway and Bonesteel to push toward the top of the pack again this season.
 
The Cardinals also return juniors Billy Gagnon (Scotia, N.Y./Scotia-Glenville), Sean Grady (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington), Jeremy Gundrum (West Sand Lake, N.Y./Averill Park) and Logan Van Buren (Port Henry, N.Y./Moriah) and sophomores Peter Basile (Castleton, N.Y./Maple Hill), Justin Kumrow (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) and Denali Rodriguez-Garnica (Port Henry, N.Y./Moriah) to the distance group, while newcomers include first-year students Nick Gelsomino (Bayport, N.Y./Bayport-Blue Point), Ethan Kahl (Whitesboro, N.Y./Whitesboro), Erik Kucera (Mount Sinai, N.Y./Mount Sinai), Lukas McIntosh (Schodack Landing, N.Y./Maple Hill) and Brayden Olden (Warrensburg, N.Y./Warrensburg).
 
Jumps
 
Masten and Anderson are the lone returners to the jump group, while James will look to make an impact during his first year in a Cardinal singlet. Masten competed at last year's SUNYAC meet in the long jump.
 
Throws
 
Senior Aidan Tous (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y./Comsewogue) leads the throwers among the returners, as he qualified for and threw at the conference meet in the shot put last year. Juniors Jorge Cabrera (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount Vernon) and Spencer Trudo (Champlain, N.Y./Northeastern Clinton) also return, while first-year student Thomas Konnick (Cooperstown, N.Y./Laurens) is the lone newcomer.
 
Multis
 
First-year student Thomas Gilbo (Champlain, N.Y./Northeastern Clinton) is the lone Cardinal who expects to compete in the heptathlon this year and is in his first year at Plattsburgh State.
