Hi All!
  Here are the Results from the First Ever Somers Fest and from the Loucks Games

    The Somers Track and Field teams hosted the first ever Somers Fest Track and Field Invitational as a part of the Somers Schools Somers Fest all sports festival.  All spring sports had home games on Friday or Saturday. All Somers seniors from each were also recognized before the start of each contest.

It was a good day for both the boys and girls teams as both teams won the six team meet.  Most of the teams at the meet also had other team members competing in the larger Loucks Games in White Plains,
The Somers Boys team won with 159 points. Harrison placed second with 108 points. Lakeland/Panas was third with 106 points, with Mahopac and Stepinac placing fourth and fifth with 69 and 51 points respectively. JFK Catholic was sixth with 46 points. 

The meet was a limited format with each team having one competitor in each event and one relay team per relay event. This format rewards team depth, which helped the Tuskers. Some distance events allowed 2 runners peer team with the second runner not being counted in the scoring. The Tuskers won nine events on the day.
Rudy Lepe won the 200 meter dash with a fast time of 23.9. Mike Polvere won the 1600 meter run, leading from start to finish in a time of 4:52.2. Matt Maliniak won the 3200 meter run, pulling away in the second mile of the race with a strong move to finish with a time of 10:44.0. Mike Martello posted a big personal best in the pole vault with a height  of 10'0" to won the event. Noah Brenner matched his personal best in the discus throw to win the event with a toss of 112' 3". Josh Prywes won the javelin throw with a heave of 125' 4". Brett Rozell won the hammer throw with an effort of 107' 4". Somers won three of the four throwing events.

The relays also performed well for Somers with the Tuskers taking two of the three relays. Stephen Herbert (2:15.1), Jesse Rinaldi (2:13.3), Liam Heine (2:15.5), and Mike Maloney (2:19.1) won the 4 x 800 meter relay convincingly with a time of 9:03.4. In the 4 x 400 meter relay, the team of Dan Harwood (58.0), Joe Larocca (57.8), Mike Polvere (54.2), Rudy Lepe (54,2).combined to win with a solid time of 3:44.5. Harwood and Larocca kept the team close while Polvere and Lepe provided a big finish to win the event.

Several team members also scored well with second place finishes. Matt Michaud placed second in the 110 meter hurdles with a clocking of 19.1. Senior Joe Larocca finished well to place second in the 800 meter run with a good time of 2:10.6. Jack Fozard showed the team's depth with a second place in the 1600 meter run in a person best time of 5:00.1. James Marinier leaped to a distance of 36.3 in the triple jump to place second, making a return to the event to help the team after being injured. 

Mike Marra also medaled in the shot put by placing third with a throw of 39'5". Ryan Korn earned a medal for third in the high jump with a clearance of 5'0". Spencer earned his bronze medal with a third place finish in the 400 meter hurdles in a time of 67.0. Alex Graap placed fourth in the 400 meter dash with a solid time of 55.0.
The 4 x 100 meter relay team of Lee Grieco, Spencer Davis, Matt Michaud, and Casey Lux placed fourth, narrowly missing medals with a clocking of 49.3.

It was a great meet for all involved and was good showing for Somers.

Alex toosed the shot 31' 6", leaped 17' 6" in the long jump and clocked a time of 5:07 in the 1500 meter run to secure his spot in the top ten.  it was a solid effort for Mattos who may compete in the event at the County Meet this weekend.

WEEK OF 04/08/-04/14 News and Notes

HI ALL! 

  

Our Physical Therapist at the Primrose School

is conducting a used shoe drive to raise funds to adopt her fourth child (fourth adopted child).  The shoes go primarily to Africa. Used running shoes and sneakers are the best. They should have some life in them, but used somewhat worn shoes are fine.
You can bring them to practice or drop them off the front office in each of the 4 school buildings.PARENTS - CLEAN UP YOUR CLOSETS. BRING US YOUR CHILD'S OLD RUNNING SHOES AND SNEAKERS!!

NO SCHOOL FRIDAY DUE TO STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY.PRACTICE AT 11 AM.  MEET AT THE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK.  EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO ATTEND.  WORK ON RIDES NOW.
TRACK SHEDS CLEAN UP ON FRIDAY 3-5 PM.
We are asking for help from parents at 3-5 PM (or so)
to help us clean out the 2 (maybe the third track shed).  It is important to have the sheds emptied and cleaned before our major meets that we host.  We will be cleaning and organizing and creating shelves (using crates and boards) for our shed at the track, our shed at Primrose, and hopefully do some work on the shed in the high school parking lot.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP.
