| Petro, a 2000 graduate of Newton High School, passed away
on September 1st, 2002 after a battle with brain cancer. For the first two years of his high school career, Newton
High School did not have a race team so he decided to start one. He was made captain of the first ever Newton High
School Race Team. |
| "Steven loved the mountain," said Pede. |
| It is fitting that, for the last four years, the mountain
is honoring him. The proceeds raised from the even benefit the Steven Petro Memorial Scholarship that is awarded
to a Newton High School graduating senior. |
