TULLY – Another week, and another instance where a Cazenovia boys track and field athlete made his way to the record books.
This time it was Andrew Kent making some history when the Lakers emerged victorious from last Friday’s Tully COVID Boys Alternative Invitational.
Running in the 200-meter dash, Kent finished in 22.58 seconds, breaking a school mark set in 1999 by Jared Glass when he went 22.64 seconds. This went with Kent’s 400-meter title in 52.61 seconds, with Jacob Ives third in 56.54.
Pushing Kent, Jack McNerney was second in the 200 in 23.09 seconds but was victorious in the 100-meter dash in 11.35 seconds, with Charlie Kubinec (11.74) in third. Kent began the day by helping Ives, Cooper Hughes and Cassity Gilmore win the 4×400 relay in 3:42.07.
All of this helped the Lakers to take team honors at Tully, earning 227 points to the Black Knights’ 153 as Hannibal was third with 116 points and Westhill was fourth with 54 points.
No one contributed more victories to Cazenovia’s cause than Dylan Albicker, who pulled off a clean sweep of three jumping events.
In the high jump, Albicker cleared 5 feet 6 inches to Jared Smith’s 5’4”. Moving to the long jump, Albicker won with 17’11 1/2” as he went to the triple jump and prevailed again with 37’6” as Dan Milison (33’2 1/2”) was fourth.
Jared Smith ran 3,200 meters 10:24.99 to win that race. Smith and Millison also paired with Michael Senehi and Cooper Hughes to claim the 4×800 relay in 9:12.56, this after Senehi was victorious in the 1,600-meter run in 4:54.29 as Will Austin was fourth.
Elijah Clement, throwing the discus 100’5”, gained second place, with Patrick Livingston third thanks to his toss of 97’7” to go with his third in the shot put (35’3”)/ Clement also finished fifth in the pole vault behind Sam Willcox (8’6”) in fourth place, while Erich Omans was fourth in the shot put.
When the throwers got together for a relay race, though, Omans, Willcox, Clement and Miles Weiler won in 54.22 seconds as Kent, Ives, Kubinec and McNerney won the 4×100 in 46.10 seconds. Dylan Shephard got second place in the 110 high hurdles in 19.96 seconds, with Connor Frisbie fourth.
