Names New And Old Break Out At Red Raider Relays

Boys Distance

800m

Highlights

It may have been MIkey Brannigan's second event in as many days, he threw down a full second personal best in the 800m to take home the state leader in the event. His 1:53.46 outlasted strong challeges from a late kicking Stae Champ Luke Germanokos of Lynbrook, who took second right behind.

1600m

Highlights

Consider Benito Muniz (Carmel) back in action. Unhappy with the slow pace, Jack Jibb of Monore-Woodbury kicked away from the field with 400m to go. Muniz responded with tactical precision, eventually overcoming the move, and pulling away on the homestretch, to take the title in 4:19.29.

3200m

Highlights

It was clear Mikey Brannigan (Northport) was on a mission from the gun one week out from his race at Penn Relays. At 1600m, he had an 80m gap on a quality field, consistenlty throwing in surges, despite racing in the dark (literally) of where the rest of the field was. He took down teammate Jack McGowan's meet record with his 9:03.82.
