PPTC statement on Nick Guerrero

All of us in Prospect Park Track Club were devastated to learn of the critical injuries suffered by Nicholas Guerrero on Monday. A fierce competitor on the course and an enthusiastic teammate on the sidelines, Nick is one of our most popular members.

As a police officer, Nick puts his life on the line day in and day out to protect the public. We have nothing but the highest respect for Nick and his colleagues, and we trust the cowards responsible for his injuries will be punished to the full extent of the law.

For now, however, our only concern is that Nick return to full health as soon as possible. Until that time, our members stand ready to support him and his loved ones in whatever way we can.

Thomas Meany President, Prospect Park Track Club
