Cross Country/Track & Field Standout Jerily Benjamin Featured in New Firebird Spotlight

Firebird Spotlight - Benjamin

Director of Athletics Patricia Thomas sits down with senior women's cross country and track & field standout Jerily Benjamin for a one-on-one interview in the new Firebird Spotlight.

Benjamin (Health Education - Queens, NY/Phillip Randolph HS), is a two-time All-American athlete in the 4x400M Relay and a two-time USTFCCCA All-Academic honoree. She is coming off of a fantastic 2013-14 academic year on the track and in the classrooom, and head coach Alton McKenzie is excited to see what she can accomplish in her senior year.

The long-striding Benjamin, according to McKenzie, is not only deceptively fast, but deceptively personable. Read more about her in the Firebird Spotlight using the link above.
