SYRACUSE – Twice this winter, the Cazenovia boys indoor track and field team has gone to Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena, faced up to big competition and topped all of them.
It happened again Wednesday night during the first session of the Oscar B. Jensen Memorial Relays, where the Lakers put up 91.5 points and beat 19 challengers, including Cicero-North Syracuse, who was second with 85 points.
Connor Frisbie had a trio of top individual efforts, culminating with the triple jump, where he went 41 feet 7 ¾ inches, a new personal mark, to beat the 40’10 3/4” from Liverpool’s Ny’Quez Madison.
Frisbie went 19’9 3/4” in the long jump to finish third, Braden Carnahan going 18’9 1/2” for sixth place, and added a third-place time of 8.56 seconds in the 55-meter hurdles, good for six team points.
Jaden Kaplan led the Lakers on the track, going one minute, 28.48 seconds to prevail in the 600-meter run over the 1:28.43 from C-NS’s Dante Melfi as Tristan Field-Bradley finished fourth in a personal-best 1:31.62.
Elliot Comeau, by clearing 6 feet for the first time in his high school career, won the high jump as no one else topped 5’8” and Judah Ossont tied for sixth with 5’4”.
Then, in the final race of the night, Kaplan, Field-Bradley, Comeau and Wyatt Scott paired up to go 3:45.26 and dominate the 4×400 relay, nearly six seconds clear of the Northstars’ 3:51.03.
Jake Woolbert went a season-best 2:54.64 to finish third in the 1,000-meter run, adding a fourth in the 3,200-meter run in 10:22.32.
Finn Worthington took fourth in the 300-meter dash in 39.70 seconds, a new personal mark, with Killian Blouin clearing 10’6” for fourth in the pole vault as Caleb Gilmore was ninth with 9 feet. Gilmore also finished 10th in the 1,600-meter run in 5:02.02.
Ethan Burry had a fourth-place weight throw of 43’5” and took second-place team honors with Jonathan Sweet, who tossed it 41’10 1/2” for sixth place. Burry also finished ninth in the shot put with a throw of 37’2”.
Chittenango was also at Wednesday’s Jensen meet, with Evan Lindsey sixth in the boys shot put, heaving it 38’6 1/4”, and Hannah Wagner taking eighth in the girls 55-meter hurdles in 10.14 seconds.
