League Meet Wrap-up

The 55 meter dash featuring Athena's Brian Smith and Terrance Harley.
Last night's meet at RIT was another in a tremendous string of Athena performances! Quite a few student-athletes put forth their best efforts last night, by either winning their event or moving up the Section V leaderboard. With our school principal in attendance, there were many fine performances had by the team. Among the standout efforts were:

  • Junior Katie Fisher matched her best jump of the season, a Section V automatic qualifying height of 4-10! This jump also propelled Katie to a WIN in the event!
  • Junior Keith Pease WON an extremely competitive 1600m run against some of the very best local competition including Gates-Chili's Travis Jordan and Rush-Henrietta's Mickey Burke. Keith's time positions him as the number one seed on the Sectional leaderboard.
  • Junior Gaby Hernandez ran a blistering 600m time to automatically qualify for Class Sectional competition in the event, taking nearly 3 seconds off of her previous best!
  • Junior Tommy Love and senior Sean Porrata joined the ranks of those Athena Trojans provisionally qualifying for the 300m dash in Sectional competition!
  • Senior Janae Dulaney posted season bests in both the 55 and 300 meter dashes. Janae has now provisionally qualified for Sectionals in the 55m dash!
Official meet results are available by clicking here. Next week, we are off to two separate locations. While the majority of our student-athletes will be heading to the NY Chiropractic College for a league Varsity/JV meet, a select group will be travelling to Cornell for an invitational at the site of the state championships meet.
