GIRLS TAKE 2ND AT CATHOLIC STATES
boys & girls win 8 events, Walz wins track mVP!
5/25 - CHSAA Catholic State Intersectionals - Icahn Stadium
The girls have perhaps their best meet of the year narrowly losing to a tough St. Anthony's squad 57 to 52 pts. Sam Walz is only the 2nd Staten Islander to win 3 events in a single Intersectional meet (and only one outdoors). The last girl to win three events was Lauren Torelli '03 (Indoors - LJ, TJ, 55HH). Sam would win the LJ, 200 and 100. In the 100, Walz would run 11.82 FAT to crush her Staten Island record and beat the meet record. Her performances earned her the Track MVP award. Capt Krissy Sarnicola won the 2,000 steeple in a fine 7:17.47 and would win the 3,000 on the "Ironman Double. Fellow capt Nicolina Siracusa took the pole vault by over 1.5 feet. Olivia Cowan, depsite trying to balance the TJ and HJ upset the field to take the high jump in a new PR of 5 feet. She would lose the TJ by a mere 1/2 inch for 2nd place! Frannie Maglione took 2nd in the discus with a throw of 104'-7". This ties the best finish in Sea history (2002 - 2nd place)
The boys were equally impressive, topping many teams while tying for 5th place overall. Shane McAnuff wins the discus on his last throw with a toss of 146'-5". Cody Doskocil (2nd - 10:10.12) and Rob Imparato (3rd - 10:23.23) medal in the 3,000 steeple. The 4x400 turns heads just missing a win to take 2nd in 3:27.55. Today's finish is the best finish for the boys since 2011 (4th Place)
