Final events worth the wait after big storm
The warm weather and stiff winds early in the day may have affected the results of the day’s events, but following a 90 minute delay as a storm blew through, the humidity dropped and the winds stopped and the last few events were worth the wait.
Following the meet’s 90 minute weather break only 3 events were left on the track – the boys 4 x 400, the girls 3000 and boys 3200. In the fast section of the Division 1 relay, Troy Faulkner gave Curtis a huge lead half way through the race, but Newburgh was not done and began the chase. By the anchor leg Newburgh had the lead and was safely away from Ramapo. Running hard all the way Newburgh would cross the line 1st in 3:15.55 to Ramapo’s 3:18.44.
(Ticonderoga) would exchange the lead over and over again. With just 200 to go Berube jumped to the front and looked like a winner as Dupont had nothing to answer with. But then coming onto the final straight the Syracuse-bound Dupont would give it one last try and slowly get to Berube’s shoulder then past and to the line 1st in 9:07.56 to Berube’s 9:08.37.
appendicitis, would clear 16’ then have 3 good attempts at breaking the 16’ 5” state record. The girls vault, held earlier, was not as clear-cut for the medals as 3 girls cleared 12’ with Michelle Quimby (Shenendehowa) getting the win.
