In addition to his work on the local desk, Marcus is also a huge boxing fan.

While I praise any improvement to the coverage of indoor track, to look through both the printed edition and the on-line edition on Newsday and fail to see any references to the 2,300 male and female high school track and field athletes that competed Friday night 12/21 at the only 200 meter indoor track on Long Island does a disservice to those 2,300 athletes.
I invite one and all to come down to our Fieldhouse (corner of the LIE and Wicks Rd.) and watch an amazing array of sprinters, jumpers,hurdlers,shot putters,middle and long distance runners, both young men and young women
