Boys win Sectional title
Sprints, Distance, Field all step up
What a day for Somers Track and Field. The Tusker boys won their 9th Sectional title since 1998 and first since 2008 with a well rounded attack. They have won more titles than any other team in school history. The final score was Somers 83, Harrison 70. Pearl River won last year.
The sprint squad continued their fine season. Jon Groton placed 5th in a touch 55m dash field in 6.89 and then teammed up with Jon Garcia to placed 2nd and 3rd in the 300m. Groton placed 3rd out of the unseeded section, running in lane 6 the whole way.
The boys 4x200m relay was something to watch. Running without usual anchor Groton, Tino Delzotto stepped in and ran a fantastic anchor leg split of 23.7 to bring the team from 2nd to first. After Garcia, Robatel, and Hettich ran the first three legs Delzotta picked a great day to prove he's the real deal.
The boys 4x400m also pulled out a win, and this time in a MEET RECORD. Groton led off in 52.8 and handed off to sophomore Scott Friedman who split an amazing 53.2 Sam Hettich ran 3rd leg and split 53.9 and Garcia brought the squad home, holding off a challenge from Harrison, in 51.8. Their time of 3:31.3 is a new meet record by over 7 seconds!
Yes the sprinters and jumpers were great, but they have been all year. Last year was a rebuilding year for the distance runners and a major reason that the team did not win Sectionals. This year they scored 26 of the 83 points even without top dog Robert Gorecki, who is out for the season.
The 3200m run saw junior Charles Conway and sophomore David Sammel run 10:18-10:21 for 4th and 5th place. It was the 3rd best sophomore time in school history for Sammel.
The 1000m was one of the greatest races in Somers track history. Frankie Licursi went out crazy hard, splitting 60-1:32-2:05 and hanging on for 2nd place with a time of 2:38.0. The time ranks him in the top ten all time at Somers.
The 600m saw Albert Tunas bounce back from a season plaqued by injury to run 1:26.5 and place 4th. Tunas kept fighting to get healthy and he is finally running the way was all knew he could.
The 1600m was another great one. Sophomore Scott Friedman ran 4:38.0 to place 4th and set a new Somers sophomore record, breaking Jeff May-Stahl's record of 4:39.0 set in 1994 (coach Fulton's senior year on the team). Friedman is truly on his way to being the next great Somers miler.
The 4x800m relay team of Tunas, Conway, Shelby, and Licursi ran 8:30 to place 4th -all after running an event earlier. The time is only 3 seconds off their season best.
Dan Lisowski won the shot put for the only Somers win outside of the 4x200 and 4x400 relays.
More results and highlights to come....
