GENESEO, N.Y. – The Geneseo men’s and women’s track &
field teams recently spearheaded a food drive to benefit victims of Hurricane
Sandy in Staten Island. The Blue Knights annually collect non-perishable food
items for donation to the Geneseo Food Bank but this year, head coach Dave
Prevosti decided to expand the scope of the teams’ efforts. The teams asked
other Blue Knight teams to join in dropping items off in the trunk of Prevosti’s
car, which he left open in the parking lot. After the department’s generosity
filled the trunk, Prevosti brought the donations to Staten Island. “It was
something to see what it’s still like down there,” he explained. “This was one
time where the media didn’t overstate things.”
