OHS girls win Class B track title

Staff Report Daily Star The Daily Star Fri May 25, 2012, 09:44 AM EDT

Oneonta High’s girls, behind wins in the 100- and 400-meter hurdles races by junior Jenn Jelic, won the Section Four Class B track title at home Thursday.

Jelic had personal-best times in both races, winning the 100 in 16.15 seconds and the 400 in 1:08.04. Jelic had just enough to hold off Owego’s Margot Springsteen in the 400. Springsteen finished with 1:08.58.

The Yellowjackets finished with 125 points, beating runner-up Dryden by 16.

“It was our balance,” OHS coach Dave Forbes said. “We only had two events where we didn’t score.”

Especially the high jump, where Brittney Herrick and Natalie Vanderlaan-Meyering finished 1-2. Herrick cleared her personal-best of 5-foot-1. Vanderlaan-Meyering also had a PR in the event, clearing 5-0. Those two, who stand 6-0 and 6-2, respectively, figure to form a formidable front line for OHS’ basketball team in the winter.

Eighth-grader Taylor Hitchcock, who won the 2,000 steeplechase Monday at Binghamton, placed second in the 3,000 in 10:59.46, her personal best.

OHS also received second-place finishes from Kim Scofield in the triple jump and Michelle-Lee St. Marthe in the discus. Scofield covered 33-7 3/4, falling by a quarter-inch to Susquehanna Valley’s Brianna Callahan. St. Marthe threw the discus 91-11.

OHS’ boys finished seventh out of 10 teams with 43 points. SV won with 109 1/2.

Levi Anderson finished second in the 3,200 in 10:21.39 and Aaron Murphy was second in the triple jump at 41-8 for OHS.

The Section Four State Qualifier is Thursday at Ithaca.

CLASS c

Bainbridge-Guilford/Afton’s boys and Walton’s girls each finished runner-up in the Section Four Class C track meet at Greene.

The Bears had 74 points _ five points behind winner Trumansburg. Walton’s girls had 49 points in a meet won by T-burg with 92.

Senior Connor Fuller led B-G/A. In addition to his win in the 3,000 steeplechase Monday, Fuller won the 3,200 in 10:01.37 and finished second in the 1,600, with a personal-best time of 4:26.81. Cameron Bruce of Lansing won the 1,600 in 4:18.51.

Noah Ives contributed a victory in the 400 hurdles, crossing in 58.84. Walton’s Kevin Flaherty finished second in 59.64.

The Bears also went 1-2 in the shot put. Pedro Aparacio won with a put of 42-9 3/4 and Chris Puerile finished second at 41-7 1/4.

Gilbertsville-Mount Upton/Morris’ Eddie Ray Cotton placed first in the 200 (23.20) and the long jump (20-8 1/2).

Flaherty won the 110 hurdles in 15.91.

Sidney freshman Austin Dean won the discus with a throw of 128-9.

Walton’s girls were led by senior Molly Maguire. After setting a school-record in winning the 2,000 steeplechase Monday, Maguire figured into two more school records Thursday.

She finished second in the 1,500 in 4:56.50, just behind winner Sam Sauer of Elmira Heights, who crossed in 4:56.21, to set a school record. She also joined Kristine Reed, Kim Kehr and Cortney Miller on the 1,600 relay that placed second in 4:16.15, breaking the school record of 4:17.7 set in 2007. Trumansburg won the relay in 4:12.99.

B-G/A freshman Julia Knapp sped to victory in the 400 hurdles in a personal-best 1:05.72. She also placed second in the long jump at 16-0 1/2.

Unatego junior Michaela Reynolds cleared 5-0 to win the high jump, Sidney’s Asia Revis won the shot put at 34-1 3/4, and G-MU/M’s Christina Hawkins won the discus with a throw of 100-4.
