The girl’s article focuses on Jackie Gamboli and how at a slower track she again set the Section 1 record in the 1,500. The boy’s story talks about North Rockland senior Dasheen Ellis. He went from a wanderer on the track circuit who went from event to event to becoming one of the best triple jumpers in the state and a chance at a state title.
