Liverpool’s Zavon Watkins made his indoor track debut in 2009-10 a memorable one with, among other things, a national sophomore record in the 1,000-meter run set at the Molloy Stanner games at the Armory in New York City. When Watkins returned to the Armory Saturday for this year’s edition of the Stanner Games, he focused on the mile – and what would turn out to be a great duel with Cicero-North Syracuse’s Chris Buchanan. Saving his best stuff for the final lap, Watkins, in 59 seconds, pulled away from Buchanan and won in four minutes, 19.86 seconds. Buchanan had to settle for second place in 4:21.54. Watkins also helped Liverpool finish third in the 4×400 relay in 3:30.18 as Newburgh Free Academy won in 3:24.09. On the girls side, the Warriors’ Rachel Putman was sixth in the 1,000-meter run in 3:03.33. Much closer to home, the CNS girls team went to Sunday’s Bob Grieve Invitational at SUNY-Cortland and finished third with 46 points. Fayetteville-Manlius (62 points) and Jamesville-DeWitt (52 points) took the top two spots. Katie Osborne (31 feet 5 3/4 inches) and Joy Gary (31 feet 2 inches) went 1-2 in the triple jump and took the event with 62 feet 7 3/4 inches. In the 55-meter dash, Osborne took first in 8.98 seconds and, with Hannah Szumloz, needed 19.33 seconds to take the top spot. Maria LaMontagne got third place in the 1,000-meter run among individuals with a time of 3:05.14 as she and Nicole Waterrud were second (6:16.30) to F-M (6:09.44) among teams. Jessica Wheeler cleared 8 feet in the pole vault for third place as the Northstars were fifth in the shot put. Wheeler, Shelby Howell, Sarah Hotaling and Jamie Ryan took third in the 4×200 relay (1:58.85) as Rachel Wisely, Marissa Colburn, Chelsea Davidson and Nicole Campagna were fourth in the 4×400 relay in 4:29.60. All this leads to the Section III championships at Colgate University, with the boys going on Sunday and the girls having its turn Jan. 28 and 29.
