Day 1 of Rockland
-
- May
- 15
As someone posted earlier Suffern’s Kevin McKenna took first in the steeplechase running 6:08.4. Tappan Zee took second and third as Danny Kane (6:15.8) and Matt Panebianco (6:24.2) continue to have big-time seasons. North Rockland took fourth and fifth as James Naglieri finished in 6:25.9 and Nick Hughes followed him in 6:28.7. Good start to the meet for Suffern. It needed to get a win in this event and McKenna got it.
In the shot put, no surprise as Joe Fox continues his strong season winning the event with a throw of 54-4 3/4. Abel Gilet of Clarkstown North took second, followed by Gabe Felix of Spring Valley. North Rockland got on the board as James Casey finished fourth for North Rockland.
For the girls, no surprise as Shelby Greany took first in a more-pedestrian-like 6:51.9. Jackie Gamboli picked up a big second place finish for North Rockland running 7:10.6, beating out Jessica Tobin (7:17.3). Christy Goldmann came up big for Suffern as the senior took fourth in 7:22.7, beating out North Rockland’s Alexis Hatcher (7:26.6).
Little surprise as Lauren Schlanger of Clarkstown South won the discus witha throw of 96-4. North Rockland took second with Luz Viana throwing 92-6. Gianna Reimer ofPearl River finished third and Suffern’s Desiree Roberts took fourth.
Suffern got off to a good start in both the boys and girls, but we’re only through two events. We’ll see what happens today, should be interesting.
