Which Indoor Events Dominated The Byrne Archives Update?


We're in the process of updating our All-Time lists for both Indoor and Outdoor.  Working in honor of Larry Byrne, we're carrying on the painstaking process of verifying marks, and recording them down.  Bear with us as we update the Byrne Archives over the next week, but for now, we can give you a quick preview at some of the updates.  Which events saw the most revisions?  Who were the big names of the season?  Check out some fast facts below.


Fast Facts:

Highest Ranking Addition for the Girls: Sammy Watson (Rush-Henrietta) came away with three new State (and National) Records in the 600m, 800m, and 1000m, as well as a State Record in the 1000m.  She also jumped on the 1500m, but did not improve her standing on the Mile list.

Highest Ranking Addition for the Boys: The young Michael Miller (Christopher Columbus) not only took down the Sophomore State Record in the 55m, but jumped up to NY #3 with his 6.33 mark.  He may be tied with four other athletes, but his mark is there among the greats.

Most Revised Event: No doubt about it, the Weight Throw list took the most beating.  With the event now three years on the schedule, athletes have been specifically training for it, and it shows.  Double digit changes combined, between both genders.

Least Revised Event: The Shot Put only saw one girl, and no guys break onto the list.  While the guys standard is right at 60-0, the Girls were chasing 43-3 for the inclusion.  Non-traditional events like the SMR and Indoor 400m saw similar stats, as the did the 4x400m, but only the Shot Put was the event most noticeably low.

Deepest Event: No question, the event with the most changes at the top was the Girls 1500m.  With numerous girls  under 4:30, and plenty more hovering around that mark, the State Top 10 looks completely new.
