Mustang Mile kicks off
another basketball season
The Putnam Science Academy basketball season is officially underway for the four-time National Champions. After five weeks of preseason workouts the PSA boys’ prep basketball team started official practice recently after running the 12th annual Mustang Mile.
Adama Tambedou won the mile race, finishing at 5:20. Coming in second place was Sam Osayi at 5:30 and coming in third was Lazarus Mason at 5:47.
“This was the 12th year we have kicked off the season doing this,” coach Tom Espinosa said.” “If it works, don’t change it. We have been very successful over the last 12 years so we are going to continue doing this. I can’t wait to get in the gym this afternoon and start working towards being the best team possible.” Sotirios Nafpliotis holds the Mustang Mile record with 5:14, which he set in 2022.
