Something rare and special would take place on Wednesday when the track and field teams from Liverpool, Cicero-North Syracuse and Baldwinsville go head-to-head for regular-season SCAC Metro division honors at LHS Stadium.
They all won last week, with Liverpool the most impressive as it swept Fayetteville-Manlius to go with lopsided wins over Henninger to remain undefeated.
Liverpool’s girls topped F-M 79-62 and Henninger 137-4, even though the Hornets’ Claire Walters won all three distance races, including a swift 1,500-meter run where she posted 4:39.6.
The Warriors claimed all the field events, though, with Imahni Sinclair throwing the shot put 35 feet 10 inches and the discus 93’6” as Marissa Baskin went 17’4” in the long jump and 34’10” in the triple jump.
Amelia Loop cleared 7’6” in the pole vault, with Amina Sinclair and Alexia Ostrander each clearing 4’6” in the high jump.
Baskin beat the field in the 100-meter dash in 12.5 seconds as Anne Gullo won the 200-meter dash in 26.6 seconds. Kali Hayes went 15.8 seconds to take the 100 hurdles as Baskin, Gullo, Amina Sinclair and Riley Norris won the 4×100 relay in 50.2 seconds.
The boys meet had Liverpool prevailing 80-61 over F-M and 103-38 over Henninger, with the Warriors’ Nathan Reeves going under the two-minute mark in the 800, winning that race in 1:59.7.
Antwan Kelly threw the discus 134’4” as Jacob Barnes claimed the shot put by going 47’8”. Connor Fahey was first in the 400 sprint in 54 seconds flat, the Warriors winning the 4×100 in 46.7 seconds and the 4×400 in 3:44.9 as Reeves, Fahey, Dawson Newbern and Cameron O’Connell took part.
The C-NS girls beat West Genesee 90-51 and Nottingham 129-9, with two wins apiece from Brooke Blaisdell and Savannah Kuhr.
Blaisdell went 17’1” in the long jump and 36 feet in the triple jump, with Kuhr first in the 100 hurdles in 16.88 seconds and the 400 hurdles in 1:10.59.
Liliana Klemanski cleared 5’2” in the high jump, with Kaley Bristow topping 7 feet in the pole vault. Sarah Davis won the 800 in 2:30.55 and Marissa Navarra won the 1,500 (5:17.23) as the Northstars were first in the 4×400 (4:19.83) and 4×800 (10:07.56) relays.
Even without Jeremiah Willis in a featured role, the C-NS boys easily beat West Genesee 102-39 and Nottingham 106-35 as many different Northstars went to the forefront.
Carlton Garnes won twice, going 36 feet in the triple jump after taking the 110 hurdles in 18.3 seconds. Nate Osborne soared past 12 feet in the pole vault as Ryan Dupra topped 6’2” in the high jump.
Andrew Culver had a winning shot put toss of 44’5” as Elijah Knight claimed the discus by throwing it 113’2”. Sam Nessel was first in the 200 in 23.43 seconds.
Aidan Dietz went 1:02.36 in the 400 hurdles and Nathan Poirier won the 800 in 2:05.09. R.J. Davis, Matt LeClair and Evan Breitbeck helped the Northstars finish first in the 4×800 relay in 9:16.27.
Baldwinsville’s boys team rolled past Corcoran 110-31, with Michael Lawrence running to first place in the 200 (23.5 seconds) and 400 (54.3 seconds) as Mike Letizia was first in the 100 sprint in 11.1 seconds.
Jack Michaels initiated a distance running sweep, taking the mile in 4:46 flat and the 3,200 in 10:18.0 as Conor McManus was first in the 800 in 2:09.0. Sam Kellner added a 400 hurdles title in 1:00.4 as the Bees won the 4×100 (45.1 seconds) and 4×800 (9:37.0) relays.
In field events, Nick Kruger went 40’8 ½” in the triple jump and had a top long jump of 18’2”. Aidan Priest cleared 10 feet in the pole vault, with Steven Miller unleashing a discus throw of 111’9”.
