Rosenzweig is not only an outstanding student, but also an exceptional athlete. She has twice qualified for the New York State Championship in cross-country –– only Nassau’s Top 20 runners at the county championship make it to states. She has also recorded Kennedy’s second-fastest times in girls’ track for the 800- and the 1,500-meter races, behind Kennedy running great Maegan Krifchin, now 24, who was a contender for the U.S. Olympic team in the marathon last year.

Rosenzweig said she hopes to attend SUNY Geneseo, Brandeis or Muhlenberg next fall and study biology or pre-medicine, while also running cross-country and track.
