ONONDAGA COUNTY – With one big meet, the Cicero-North Syracuse track and field teams would figure out where it stood amid the contenders in the SCAC Metro division.
The showdown last Wednesday between the girls Northstars and Fayetteville-Manlius was particularly anticipated, since C-NS had beaten F-M in the April 30 Chittenango Invitational.
And once again the Northstars would finish in front, winning by a score of 75-63, led by Lilly Capria, Cha’Nya Jones and Jayden Mackey, who each won a pair of events.
Capria, who claimed three wins at the Chittenango meet, cleared 4 feet 10 inches in the high jump and went 32’5 1/2” for first place in the triple jump. Jones threw the shot put 31 feet and the discus 75 feet to take those titles.
Mackey excelled in the sprints, going 13.35 seconds in the 100-meter dash and then taking the 200 in 27.54 as Kate Putman broke up F-M’s hold on distance races, tearing to a time of 4:40.45 at 1,500 meters.
Meanwhile, the C-NS boys lost, 75-65, to F-M despite three event wins from Carlton Garnes, who went 16.65 seconds in the 110 high hurdles, went 18’9 1/2” in the long jump and 37’1 1/2” in the triple jump.
Vincent Pisa had a winning shot put toss of 36’11”, with Richard Browne tossing the discus 89 feet. Jordan Ballard took the 200 in 25.58 seconds as James McConnell tore to a time of 52.77 in the 400 sprint.
When C-NS defeated Baldwinsville 90-49 a couple of days later, Mackey went 12.70 seconds in the 100 sprint and 26.44 in the 200 to win there.
Hannah Boyle returned, going 4:47 flat in the 1,500 and taking the 400 sprint in 1:00.81 as Katie Putman ranthe 800 in a swift 2:11.11 and tore to a time of 9:51.19 in the 3,000-meter run.
Grace Murray won the 400 hurdles in 1:10.19 and Danielle Crivelli was first in the 100 hurdles in 16.47 seconds. Jones threw the shot put 28’9” and Kaleigh Bosimenu had a top discus throw of 76 feet.
At that same meet, the C-NS boys lost 104-37 to B’ville while defeating Corcoran. Garnes did have a big long jump of 21’6” and went 15.44 seconds in the 110 hurdles as Gavin McAllister took the 400 sprint in 51.80 seconds and cleared 10’6” in the pole vault.
Liverpool would have its own meet against C-NS Wednesday at Bragman Stadium. Before that, though, the Warriors would go to West Genesee last Wednesday and swept both the Wildcats (86-46) and Corcoran (112-5) on the girls side.
Beatrize Gurgol and Sophia Jarosz each won twice for Liverpool, with Gurgol putting up a time of 18.1 seconds in the 100 hurdles and then claiming first in the long jump with 13’10”.
Jarosz handled two of the sprints, taking the 200 in 27.2 seconds and the 400 in 1:04.5 as Kaitlyn Burt won the 400 hurdles in 1:14.5. Eva Woodworth went 11:06.1 at 3,000 meters as Allie Cary threw the shot put 32 feet.
