Track and field: Section 9 athletes earn 18 medal seeds for Federation meet
Junior Karrie Baloga of Cornwall has the top seed in both the 3,000-meter run and the 2,000 steeplechase at the New York State Federation track and field championships to be held Friday and Saturday at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.
There are three top seeds on the boys side: Cornwall’s Jiles Addison (100 meters); Washingtonville’s Elijah Mallard (400 hurdles); and, Cornwall’s 1,600-meter relay team.
Based solely on pre-meet seeds, Section 9 athletes are in line to capture five Federation gold medals, six silver and seven bronze, should their performance marks hold.
Top medal contenders include high jumpers Bianca Staples of Valley Central and Ella Michelitch of Minisink Valley; discus thrower Juliana Juras of Marlboro; shot putters Emanuel Williams of Newburgh and Chris Campanelli of Sullivan West; steeplechaser Evan Waterton of Monticello; hurdler Alexander Peyser of New Paltz; sprinter Cameron Sands of Rondout Valley; distance runner Adam Furman of Tri-Valley; and, two distance relay teams from O’Neill.
The public school meet is held in conjunction with the champions of New York City’s Public Schools Athletic League, the Catholic High School Athletic Association and the Association of Independent Schools. Medals are awarded for the Federation results and – once the PSAL, CHSAA and AIS results are removed – also for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.
Live results will be posted at LeoneTiming.com. A broadcast is available via subscription at NFHS.com.
