For the first time in four years, high school athletes from throughout Western New York descended on Strider Field for the Jamestown Track Classic on Saturday.
There were plenty of highlights.
For the record, Ben Mauer and Deborah Borysewicz, both of Lake Shore, were the recipients of the Most Outstanding Track Athletes, while Mathew Fitzner of Hamburg and Stevieanna Seneca of Lake Shore were named the Most Outstanding Field Athletes.
Mauer won the 110-meter high hurdles (17.69) and the 400-meter hurdles (1:03.28); Borysewicz claimed the 100 meters (12.70) and the 200 meters (25.93); Fitzner won the triple jump (43-1) and was second in the long jump (20-8.75); and Seneca captured the shot put (30-1) and the discus (100-6).
And there was more.
Meet organizers presented the Jason DeJoy Memorial Award to the winners of the 1,500-meter and the 1,600-meter races. A former Jamestown and Pittsford-Mendon cross country coach, DeJoy was loved and respected among the running communities of both areas. Recipients of the memorial award were Belle Johnson of Jamestown (1,500) and Juvenal Diaz-Cortes of Frewsburg (1,600), who won those respective races.
And, finally, Jason’s wife, sister and children helped present the awards. To make it even more rewarding, Jason’s daughter, Lake Shore freshman Angelina, participated in the 1,500 meters where she finished fourth.
First-place finishers among the area girls were Johnson in the 1,500 meters (5:10.93); Jamestown’s 400-meter relay of Kianna Harris, Myah Crossley, Madison Burgess and Amara Pacheco (52.83); Isa Kioko of Clymer/Sherman/Panama in the high jump (4-8); Emily Cardinale of Jamestown in the pole vault (9-3); Gracie Conlan of Frewsburg in the triple jump (32-4.5); and Leighanne Swan of Clymer/Sherman/Panama in the pentathlon (2,635 points).
First-place finishers among the area boys were Juvenal Daz-Cortes in the 1,600 meters (4:38.09); Jacob Constantino of Frewsburg in the 200 meters (23.12); Elias Quintero of Chautauqua Lake in the 800 meters (1:59.91); Cody Kent of Frewsburg in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:46.70); Jamestown’s 1,600-meter team of Liam Caswell, Noah Burch, Greg Brumagin and Isaiah Sanchez (3:35.79); Nick Jacobson of Chautauqua Lake in the high jump (6-0); and Jack Bourgeois of Chautauqua Lake in the pole vault (11-6).
Lake Shore won the girls team title with 113 points, 14 more than second-place Jamestown. Hamburg claimed the boys team title with 128 points. Lake Shore was second with 103 points and Jamestown was third with 90.
