Apparently it is not yet official, since yesterday's D&C reported that our Boys Track team's record is 6-1, but with another exciting win over Penfield yesterday, 76-65, I have been told that we are actually 7-0 and have won the Division Championship. What an unlikely feat for a team that was expected to struggle to finish above .500!
The story is that R-H (unknowingly) had an ineligible athlete competing on their team, and was forced to forfeit the meets in which he was a competitor. One of those was against us, so our lone loss will be wiped, giving us the clean slate and the Division title.
The win was very impressive, given that we decided to rest AJ, as a precautionary measure, to ensure that he is healthy for the Championship season. Some fine distance performances were turned in, with Justin M winning the 400, Ben F and John W placing second and third behind Tyler Gumina in the 1600, a pair of Justins going 1-3 in the 800 and Geoff and Adrian scoring the 1-2 punch in the 3200.
Justin M almost came back to clinch the meet with a strong anchor leg in the 4x400, but the suspense lasted one more event until John W, Justin R and Ben F gave Geoff a huge lead in the 4x800 relay.
Now it's time to get ready for the Championship season. Over half of the boys distance team will compete in the JV Championships at Rush-Henrietta on Thursday, with the Girls JV Champs to follow on Friday at Hilton. Information on the Varsity Championship meets will follow in the next article.
