Saturday April 26 - Webster Invitational at Webster Thomas HS - PICTURES -  Congratulations to Marcus for breaking the School Record in the Discus with his 138' 9" throw. (it was his only throw because of the lightning delay that canceled the rest of the meet). Solid performances by several athletes in the events they were able to get in. Both the 400 Relay and 1600 Relays ran their best time of the season - and more importantly - they ran the best early season times of the past few years. Donny, Bortle, and Kovach all set PR's in field events. 14 Provisional / Automatic Performances in the portion of the meet before the cancelation. Tuesday April 29 - LeRoy - 90 Perry - 50 PICTURES - A good tune up / workout for most everyone. Several athletes got the opportunity to run different events - partly as a speed workout and partly to see how people do in them. 28 Provisional / Automatic Performances Friday May 2 - FIRST PLACE at the LeRoy Invitational - PICTURES - 14 Personal Records, an improved new school record and another tied school record... not a bad night.  Congrats to Mike Humphrey for tying the 110 Hurdles record and to Marcus for improving his Discus Record. Tough break for the 3200 relay that missed that much desired record by half a second... that was a tough goal to accomplish without anyone pushing you. Gary and Rise both went sub 63 in the 400 Hurdles for the first time since late in the season last year. The 4 x 8 and 4 x 4 both ran excellent times for this early in the season. Joe had his best vault this year so far - between indoor and outdoor. Jack ran a career PR in the 3200 after being out sick - great job. Cody continues to drop his times and improve as he learns more strategies of the sport. Top places on the track went to: Alonzo in the 100 and 200 (2nd),   Nick in the 400 (3rd), Cody and Dan in the 800 (2nd, 3rd), Kraut in the mile (1st), Mike in the 110 (2nd) and 400 H (1st), 3rd place for the 4 x 1, 2nd place for the 4 x 4 and firs place for the 4 x 8.

Great performances by all of our athletes. I was really pleased at how the team stayed focused throughout the entire meet. We stuck to what we knows works - picking up points as the meet moves on. We never got down - not even when we were 20 points behind the leaders. Great job everyone. Tuesday May 13 - LeRoy 100 -  Avon 41  PICTURES   30 Automatic / Provisional Performances.

Saturday May 31 - FIRST PLACE in CLASS CCC Sectional Championships at Cal - Mum First and foremost, congratulations to the boys TEAM for their accomplishment at repeating as sectional champions. The boys showed their discipline as they avoided all of the DQ problems that plagued the meet. Congratulations to the 7 boys that won sectional championships patches for their events. I am equally proud of the efforts of many of our young runners who stepped up and embraced the challenge of helping the team - regardless of what their seed was - and learned a great lesson in doing so. Statistically, we scored in 18 of the 19 events (better than last years 17 of 19) and scored multiple places in 6 of those 18 events (better than last years 5 double score events) These past 2 years have been a roller coaster of emotion with the ups and downs our team has faced and overcome on the track as well as off. I am very happy with the way our athletes dedicate themselves to the ideas and principals of what now makes up LeRoy Track and Field. Pictures Fri June 6 - State Qualifiers at Marion - Congratulations to the 3200 Relay team of Jack Bennett, Cody Niccloy, Tyler Murray and Dan Carlson for destroying the school record with their second place finish in small school.
