A beatiful day all the way around

So I was out at North Rockland HS for the first day of Red Raider Relays today, and what a nice day it was. Great day of competition too.  The girls 1,600 was a tremendous race, as Suffern’s Shelby Greany showed a lot of heart with a big kick in the last 200 meters. Greany outkicked Sarah McCurdy from Bay Shore to win the race and break the meet record in the process. McCurdy was clearly NOT happy. Greany (who is just about the nicest girl in the world) offered a friendly handshake after the race and McCurdy refused.
    Scarsdale had a impressive first day as well. Julian Sheinbaum and Jacob Wexler took first and second place in the boys 1,600 respectively, and Nelson Hall took first place in the high jump, clearing a personal best 6 feet, 8 inches.
     For the second year in a row Carmel’s Kristin Reese took the girls 3,200 title, and Suffern was 1-2 in the boys 5,000 with Evan Flach and Mike Pereira respectively.
    Tomorrow all the sprint finals will be held, as well as most of the relays, more field events, and the completion of the boys and girls penthathons. It should be another tremendous day of competition. Dan Marra will be out at North Rockland tomorrow, so be sure to check out the blog tomorrow night for Dan’s take on all tomorrow’s action. Talk to you all soon!
