PHOTO OF THE WEEK
Senior Shane Costello was competing in the Shore Coaches Invitational in Holmdel last weekend and moments away from reaching the finish line he stopped running to help another athlete who had physically collapsed. Shane helped carry him off the race course and stayed by his side until others came to assist. CCHS Parent Sandra Gisone just happened to be at the right place and time to capture these photos. This goes without saying that Shane did finish the race with a 23:16. And the Camden Catholic XC Team finished in 3rd Place in their division.
