Boys - Greece Olympia 103, Greece Athena 62, Rush-Henrietta 62

Girls – Penfield 66.5, Hilton 66

For Greece Olympia Desmond Mobley won the long jump, high jump AND… the 110 hurdles.  Craig Hardgers  took 2^nd’s in the long and triple jumps, 4^th in the high, and was in the 100m. 

Brian Smith of Greece Athena won the 100 and 200.  Smith leads the state in both the 100 and 200, he improved his season best in the 200 to 21.16.

Rush-Henrietta’s boys  won the 4x100M, 4x800, and Mickey Burke chased down Andrew Mullen of Brighton to take the 800M.

Penfield Girls win was really a team effort with only one win, Katie Lembo in the 1500m.  The rest of the points were well spread out among the team.

Hilton Girls didn’t have a star athlete or two score a lot of points either,  but they had a great event in the pole vault with the win and school record by Zoe Camillaci (11-9), Sarah Pirnie in 3^rd, and freshmen Taylor Haude in 7^th.

Maddie Kopp of Spencerport won the 100-200-400, just like at His-Hers and Saturday Night Showdown.

Race of the day was the boys 1600m.  32 of the 36 runners had their season best race.  All-County (and top 4 boys in Section V) were Keith Pease Athena 4:14.37, Will Ronchetti Brighton 4:16.36, Tyler Ranke Hilton 4:20.11, Jack Wesley Pittsford Mendon 4:20.81.

Big weekend for the 400 with Denzel Knight of Brockport (49.10), Carnell Nobel of Greece Olympia (49.87) and over at the Roesch Memorial Invitational Josh Hanna of Aquinas (49.99) all breaking 50.

Ryan Cribbin of West Irondequoit threw a Section V leading mark of 54-04 in the shot put.

Fairport Girls 4x400 set a Section V leading mark in the 4x400m with a 4:05.05.

Valerie Palermo of Webster Schroeder lowered her section v leading 2000m steeple to 6:55.84.

Natalie Meyer of Pittsford Mendon scored 2664 to win the pentathlon, and considering that Karmen Auble of Warsaw won't be doing the pent at Meet of Champions/State Q's, Meyer is the favorite to win.

A magical day and night of exciting performances and music themed races, probably the most entertaining track meet I’ve ever been to.

Karmen Auble of Warsaw won the Pole Vault and broke her own Section V outdoor record with a jump of 12-7 and set the overall record beating Jenn O’Neill’s indoor 12-6 from 10 years ago.  This puts Auble 7 inches ahead of the next best vaulter in the state.  Zoe Camilacci of Hilton took 2^nd breaking her school record with an 11-6 and is tied for 5^th in the state. 

Mickey Burke of Rush-Henrietta held off TJ Hornberger of Lake Shore ( meet records 9:12.16 – 9:12.70 ) in an unbelievable Glavin 3200 that produced season-best times for nearly every single boy in the field of 27.  Their times are the two fastest run in the state so far this year.

Eileen O’Hara of Webster Thomas dropped over 20 seconds off her PR to run a 9:42.89 meet record and win over Katie Lembo of Penfield who also had a meet record of 9:48.91.  As with the boys, nearly every girl had a season-best time.  Their times are 1^st and 3^rd respectively in the state, with Valerie Palermo’s 3^rd place finish in this meet, putting her at 5^th in the state.

Maddie Kopp of Spencerport repeated her performance from last week’s His & Hers with wins in the 100 (12.47), 200 (25.47) and 400 (56.99).  Her 100 and 400 times were meet records and her 400 time is the 3^rd best in the state.

Izzy Hirtelen-Booker of HAC repeated her His & Her win in the 100M Hurdles, she's ranked 3rd in the state.

Coach Hennessey was involved in Empire State Games Track & Field from the first one in 1976 and now helps to manage the Rochester Summer Track Series which has been held on Tuesday Nights for longer than Dave’s been around and is now held at Penfield.

I personally enjoyed the quality and quantity of the opportunities afforded to me by Dave’s efforts and his encouragement and guidance when I was in high school (Arcadia 1975-1980) and again when my son was in high school (Brighton 2007-2011).

Congratulations to Dave and to Penfield High School for recognizing his contributions with such a great honor while he’s still out there coaching the kids and organizing the meets for us all.
