Before Niagara
Aidan comes to Niagara from Section 1’s Pearl River High School (NY). His senior year, Aidan was captain of the cross country team, received the team’s MVP award and was also recognized as First Team All-County and All-League for cross country as well as  Second Team All-County for indoor track (as part of the team’s 4x8). Prior to 12th grade Aidan earned Third Team All-County for cross country (junior year) and First Team All-County for indoors as part of the 4x800 (junior year). In the 2016 outdoor season, his 4x800 team posted a season-best time of 7:58  with top finishes that included: 1st in the 49th Annual Glenn D. Loucks Games, 3rd in the Section 1 State Qualifier meet, and 4th in the D2 NY State Championship. In the final competition of his high school career, Aidan ran the 800-leg in both the sprint- and distance-medley relays at the New Balance Outdoor National meet, the latter in which he split 1:57.
