Twice in the first week of 2011, the Cazenovia girls indoor track and field team went to Colgate University’s Sanford Field House to vie for top honors in the Mohawk Valley Indoor Track Association Partner Relays, and won easily on both occasions.
In the first of them last Tuesday night, the Lakers again finished on top, picking up 138 points to leave Rome Free Academy (94 points) and the rest of the 10-team field behind.
Ashley Winn would run the 55-meter dash in 7.50 seconds, the 200-meter dash in 26.41 seconds, the 300-meter dash in 42.74 seconds and the 400-meter dash in 1:02.18, winning all those contests.
Team-wise, Winn went 1-2 with Grace Milmoe (1:10.15) in the 400 as she also combined with Emily Willard in the 300 (1:30.50) and Liz Pittman for another victory in the 55 sprint in 15.77 seconds. Winn and Ashley Kent were first in the 200 in 56.61 seconds.

Friday’s second portion of the Partner Relays brought another win for the girls Lakers, the point total inching up to 141 and the record books assaulted by Biviano.
Biviano set two schools marks by winning the 55 hurdles in 9.08 seconds and clearing 5 feet 4 inches in the high jump. She teamed with Kent and Willard for team honors in those events and was first in the long jump, going 15 feet 8 ¾ inches as she and Beth Marcelle tied for second overall.
Winn again took the 55 (7.59 seconds) and 300 (42.94 seconds), adding a 500-meter title in 1:30.13 ahead of Milmoe (1:30.75), while Jillian Vogl returned to capture the 200 in 27.11 seconds and the 400 in 1:04.08, going 1-2 with Jackie O’Sullivan in the latter event.
Marshall claimed the 800 in 2:26.62, with Milmoe fourth as she and Cudney teamed for a victory in the 600 in 3:35.46. In the 1,000, Marshall won in 3:11.30 and Cudney (3:14.38) was right behind her.
Tobey and Wolsey rose to second in the 1,500 (10:41.90), with Tobey and Cudney third in the 3,000. Woodworth and Carly Hazer were second (51 feet 8 inches) in the shot put, while vanNieuwlaand and Glenna Kehelan got to third (11 feet) in the pole vault.
