Bensonhurst
On your mark, get set, go
Faster than a speeding bullet, relaying around the track in a single bound, are Jackie and Tessy Gallagher. The zooming sibs, students at Bishop Kearney High School, left the competition in the dust at last week’s Brooklyn-Queens Diocesan Indoor Track tourney at the New York Armory.
The pair covered the track faster than the wind, earning themselves the championship. Tessy whizzed the 3,000-meter run, and Jackie clocked the 1,500 meter in 5:04, setting an all-new Kearney Varsity record.
Speed is in the Gallagher genes. Cousin Colleen Gallagher broke the freshman record for the 1,000 meter run at the same event last year.
Standing O wishes the Gallagher clan many speedy congratulations.
