Saratoga Strikes First Gold Since 2004: Girls Penn Recap

4x100m

The girls of Rush-Henrietta take home the Northeast Final, a division for schools just outside the final.  Their time of 47.91 puts them nearly a full second ahead of the rest of the State.

4x400m

It was a rough year for the middle relay this year, as only three teams from New York broke 4mins, lead by Valley Stream South at 3:57.89.

4x800m

After a dry run in the trials, Shenendehowa showed what it could do with anchor Hannah Reale back in from.  She split 2:12 here, but has gone as low as 2:06, making their 3rd place mark of 9:03.62 even more impressive.  Shen has only broken 9mins twice outdoors, and may be looking to add to that in 2018.

Individual - Running

We said to watch for it, and Vanessa Watson (Spencerport) lived up to the hype.  She took 6th place in the 400H, just missing the sub-60 mark with her 60.17 performance.  Lily Flynn (Ursuline) was our top finisher in the Mile at 7th, with a 5:03.12, while we had two girls under 10mins in the 3000m.  Reilly Siebert (Syosset) took 6th at 9:52.58, and Dana Lynch (Middletown) took her first trip under 10mins to finish at 9:55.89.

Individual - Field

While Lanae-Tava Thomas (Rush-Henrietta) made a respectable Spring debut in the Long Jump with a 20-1.75 mark, good for silver, New York took it's domination out on the Pole Vault.  Placing 1st-2nd-4th, Alana Carroll (Averill Park) led the field with her 12-11.5 clearance.  For a windy day, the high flying mark is that much more impressive.
