Rush Henrietta Girls Run and Greece Olympia Boys Jump to Wins at the Rochester Relays at RIT

Rush Henrietta’s girls team won the Rochester Relays (large school division) with some fast running.

Rush Henrietta and Penfield left the rest of Section V in the dust in the Girls 4x800m.  Rush (Xaelel Allen-Caballaro, Ceara Watson, Alex Cooper, Alana McDonald) beat Penfield (Megan Sedita, Britney Swarthout, Ilana Schnaufer, Katie Lembo) 9:40.90 to 9:42.31 but both cut about 20 seconds off the previous season best girls 4x800 in Section V and they now rank 9^th and 11^th respectively in the state.  Can’t wait to see the rematch at State Q’s.

Rush and Penfield’s girls met again in this meet for the 4x400m, Rush (Emily Zeafla, Alex Cooper, Elvira Martinez, Alana McDonald) beat Penfield (Alex Teglash, Megan Sedita, Katie Lembo, Britney Swarthout) again and they finished 1-2 with 4:17.60 and 4:20.91. 

The Rush and Penfield girls 4x800m and 4x400m teams have all qualified for the Penn Relays.

The Rush girls also won the 2x3000m, Sprint Medley, and 2x1500m Racewalk.

Greece Olympia’s boys team won the Rochester Relays (large school division) by jumping farther and higher.

State long jump leader Dezmond Mobley and teammate Craig Hardgers jumped 23-1.75 and 21-4 to win the 2-man long jump relay by a wide margin. 

Mobley and teammate Tremaine Moore won the 2-man high jump with 6-6 and 5-8 respectively. 

Hardgers and teammate Ja’marie Jefferson won the 2-man triple jump with 44-07.25 and 43-01.75 respectively.

Olympia also won the challenging 8x200.

And to round out the jumping events Olympia even scored points in the pole vault with Terry Taylor and Nick Faber taking 6^th.

Demonica Stanley of Edison Tech flew 18’ for the 3^rd best long jump in the state this year, she also had the fastest 55m time (7.47) and Edison Tech won the 55m x 4 Person by taking the top 3 spots; Stanley, Imani Obieke, Tanisha Love, with Royality Gavin rounding out the 4 person team.

Greece Athena Boys 4x200m (John Hampton, Terrance Harley, Julio Santos, Brian Smith) made a new Section V leading mark of 1:33.65, Athena Boys also won the 4x400m (Terrance Harley, Julio Santos, Keith Pease, Brian Smith).

Rush Henrietta girls are not the only fast ones, their boys 4x800m (Bobby Exler, Mike Schantz, Brennan Root, Pat Shenal) avenged last spring's State Q loss to Brighton (Ty Joseph, Mason Vodacek, Will Ronchetti, Andrew Mullen) with their win today, with Brighton a distant second.  Brighton has some boys out sick though, so could be a good race again at indoor State Q's.

The consistently dominant Gates-Chili boys pole vaulters won but almost got upset by Canandaigua.  Gates' Ryan Ellis 13' and Jake Trieste 12'6" tied Canandaigua's Sam Harding 13'6" (ties Max Curran for Section V lead) and Kevin Palmisano 12', but the tie was broken by total misses.

Hilton girls vaulted over the rest with Zoe Camillacci and Sarah Pirnie combining for an incredible 20’.

In the small schools the boys winner was Aquinas and they won the 55m x 4 person (Alonzo Turney, Josh Hanna, Terrance Richards, Greg Pardner), 4x200m, Sprint Medley, High Jump (Isaac Darling, Joe Frost), and Long Jump (Alonzo Turney, Khris Greggs) relays.

Batavia won small school girls with 90 points while only winning one event, the Triple Jump (Kelsey Hill, Sydney Durawa).  They scored in nearly every event and had a lot of second place finishes.

Rankings by milesplit.com

The 1^st Annual Trent Jackson Invitational at Brockport College’s new indoor track (the SERC) inspired some huge performances in Section V.

Dezmond Mobley of Greece Olympia set a new Section V All-Time Record in the long jump with a state leading 24-2 which is 2^nd in the entire NATION (out of over 10,000 long jumpers best performances submitted to milesplit).  This won the inaugural Trent Jackson Invitational at Brockport College’s new indoor track (the SERC).   Mobley also won the high jump with a 6-7, and Mobley’s jump of 6-8 earlier in the season ranks 6^th nationwide and 2^nd in the state.

Karmen Auble of Warsaw pole vaulted to a New York State leading mark of 12-3 to win the Jackson Invite.  The previous evening at the Wayne-FL-Livingston championships she won the long jump with a 17-4.5 which is ½” short of Demonica Stanley’s Section V leading mark (and 8^th in the state), and Auble won the shot put with a 36-5, and to top it all off, Auble took second in the 55 with a sub-8 second time.

Keith Pease of Greece Athena did not beat his own state leading time of 4:16.94 in the 1600M, but his 4:18.55 won the race by 8.5 seconds and would still be the state leading time and 2nd best in the nation if he hadn't already put up the 4:16.94.

Brian Smith of Greece Athena ran the 7^th best 55M time in the NATION and lead the boys sprinters in a full on assault of the leaderboard.  Smith, Carnell Noble (Greece Olympia) and Terrance Harley (Greece Athena) went 1-2-3 in the 55M with new season bests of Smith  6.44 (3^rd in state), Noble 6.48  (5^th in state), Harley 6.57 (9^th in state).  Then they went on to another 1-2-3 finish in the 300 where Smith lowered his season best to 34.63 (6^th in nation, 3^rd in state), Noble 35.58 (12^th in state), Harley 36.38.

Demonica Stanley of Edison Tech won the girls 55M and brought down her Section V leading time to 7.24 which is the 2^nd best in the state.

Maddie Kopp of Spencerport won the 300M with the first sub 41 of the season running a 40.97 for the 7^th best time in the state.

Brennan Root of Rush Henrietta lead a group of 4 boys in the 3200 who all went sub-9:40 for the first time this season in Section V.  Root won with a 9:33.89 for the 13^th best mark in the state, he was followed by Jack Scott of Fairport (9:34.78), Josh Dyrland of West Irondequoit (9:37.06) and previous season leader Will Ronchetti of Brighton (9:39.64).

Josh Hanna of Aquinas won the 600M with the first sub-1:24 of the season running a 1:23.61 (15^th in the state).

Maggie Pryslak of Mercy won the girls 600M with the first sub-1:40 of the season running a 1:39.70 (19^th in the state).

Max Curran of Williamson won the pole vault with a Section V leading 13-6 and is ranked 13^th in the state.

Amanda Burkey of Fairport didn't beat Mackenzie Strutz season leading mark, but Burkey's 5-5 jump is the 6th best in the state this season.

Here’s a list of Section V leaders ordered by their national ranking:

This week I’m looking for state standards and new Section V leaders.

Demonica Stanley of Edison Tech had a big meet achieving state standards in both the 55M and Long Jump.  Stanley lowered her Section V leading 55M time to 7.35 and won the long jump at RIT with a 17-5, taking over the Section V lead from Justin Sanders-Schifano of Sodus who made the standard with a 17-4.5 last week.  (Imani Obieki and Stanley pictured left to right)

Maddie Kopp of Spencerport won the 55M at Hobart with a time of 7.44 which just matches the state standard and is the 2^nd fastest of the season.   

Brian Smith of Greece Athena lead a pack of 6 boys making the 55M state standard of 6.74 this week, bringing Section V’s total to 7 boys achieving the 55M standard.  At RIT it was Smith (6.50), teammate Terrance Harley (6.67) and Brandon VanderBrook of Marion (6.69).  At Hobart Carnell Noble of Greece Olympia won with at 6.60 over Kevin Beasley of Gates-Chili  (6.69) and Nicodemus Gambill of East (6.73).  

Karmen Auble of Warsaw broke out a huge 11-10 jump in the pole vault beating the Gold Standard of 11-6, Penn Relays standard of 11' 0-1/4" and tying for 2^nd place on the NYS leaderboard.  The bar almost stayed on at 12-1 which would have been the leading mark in the state.   Hilton girls Zoe Camillaci and Sarah Pirnie also made the state standard of 9-6.  Camillaci made 10-10 last week.   

Katie Lembo of Penfield already had the Section V leading mark and only Penn Relays standard, and only state standard in the 3000, she has the Section V leading mark, only Penn Relays standard, and first of 3 state standards in the 1500.  So Friday night she ran the 1000 and made the season’s first sub-3 with a 2:58.31 which is also the first state standard of the season.  Lembo’s  positions on the New York State leaderboard are 2^nd for the 1500, 3^rd for the 1000, and 3^rd for the 3000.  (and she’s only a junior)

Ryan Cribbin of West Irondequoit is improving every week and his shot put throw of 55-6.25 moved him up to 4^th on the state leaderboard.

Christine Lyttle of Canandaigua won the 55 Hurdles with a 8.63 and her earlier season mark of 8.50 puts her at 5^th on the state leaderboard.

Not quite making the state standards, but making new Section V season bests were:

Alex Kober of Webster Schroedroer with a triple jump of 35-7.75.

Rebekah Champlin of Marcus Whitman with a 1500 Racewalk of 7:31.52

 In the relays the boys were burning it up at RIT in the 4x400.  Greece Athena, Aquinas, and Marion all beat Rush's season leading mark from last week, and all qualified for Penn Relays.  Athena came out on top with a 3:35.72.
