Odds & Ends of Interest (Outdoor Track 2008)

 

Bemus Invitational (May 8, 2008 at Greenwich HS) ... (from the Glens Falls Post-Star)

Sarah Palmer (Schuylerville) tied the NY State Freshmen High Jump Record at 5-8

 

Dual Meet - Saratoga Girls (May 7, 2008) ... (from the Schenectady Daily Gazette)

Hannah Davidson (Saratoga Springs) ran a season-leading 3000 meters in a dual meet with Ballston Spa and Averill Park ... Hannah's time was a quick 9:41.0 ... only 13 girls in NY State history have run faster.

 

Dual Meet - Fayetteville Manlius (April 23, 2008) ...

The FM vs Auburn dual meet was abbreviated due to thunder & lightning (and not re-started by agreement among coaches) ... Two very good performances were recorded before the meet was terminated ... freshman Courtney Chapman (FM) set a PR in the 1500m of 4:43.0 ... and sophomore Alex Hatz (FM) set a two second PR of 4:18.7 in the 1600m ... both runners ran in flats (not spikes)!

For comparison purposes ... Not certain, but I believe Lopez Lomong (Tully) has the fastest sophomore 1600m outdoor time by any Section 3 runner ... Lomong ran 4:18.58 at the NY State Meet (and that was a 9 second PR for  Lopez at that time) ... Tom Gruenewald's fastest sophomore 1600m time (according to my database records) was a 4:21.0 relay split, and then a 4:25.74 open time at sectionals ... Therefore, Alex Hatz's time of 4:18.7 in a dual meet (and a solo effort at that) is really special ... The NY State sophomore record for the mile is 4:13.69 (Brian Rhodes-Devey) and the 1600m record is 4:11.8 (John Trautmann).
