While he was head man from 1975 to 1987, Platt boys cross country teams compiled a record of 100-31 and won league titles in 1977 and 1978.

In addition to producing numerous state champions the program has produced Academic All-Americans: John DiBacco (1994), Mike Cerrone (1996), Luis Murillo Jr. (2002), Ralph Riello (2007), Kristion Neysmith (2012), Ben Stratton (2018),[9] and Mathew Merrigan (2022)[10] and two All-American wrestlers on the mat in Jason Carino (1991) and West Johnson (2007).
