Jan. 8, 2024: Over the years, Bronxville High School has stood out as a small school with a highly successful athletic program. In the past four years, Bronxville has received the coveted Tom Whelan All-Sports Award for small schools three separate times, and in 2024 Bronxville was the runner-up to Rye.  Winning the Whelan award is a great tribute to every one of the hardworking, dedicated athletes and coaches at the Bronxville School.

Bronxville High School varsity teams and individual Bronxville competitors won section, state, and national titles in a wide range of sports. Below is a recap of the most memorable sports stories of 2024.

Last March, squash player Rustin Wiser won the US Squash Junior National Championship. He is currently playing for the University of Pennsylvania.

The Bronxville boys’ and girls’ indoor track and field teams had outstanding success in 2024 winning League and County Championships during the indoor season and capturing their respective Sectional Championships in the spring. Both the indoor and outdoor teams had athletes qualify for the New York State Championships, and in the spring, junior Wyatt Gravier won the 110m hurdles with the fastest time in New York State.

In the fall, the girls’ cross country team won the Class C Westchester County Championship, and the boys’ team won the County Championship for all classes. It was an amazing accomplishment for a team from a small school. Brian Halling, the coach of the boys’ team, was named Westchester/Putnam Coach of the Year.
