VESTAL – Bainbridge-Guilford/Afton moved four athletes on to the New York State Track and Field Championships at Thursday's Section IV State Qualifier held at Vestal.
Melissa Reigles improved her personal best in the shot put by over 11 inches throwing it 37-3 1/2 to not only win the Division II title, but the outright section championship. Dustin Ross, coming in as the number one seed in the 400 meters, held off a late challenge from a Cherry Valley-Springfield sprinter to win in 49.45. "Melissa Reigles is the story of the meet for us," said Bears coach Robb Munro. "Coming off an injury and with the training (lack of) he has had, I can't believe the time he ran."
Elsewhere, Kati Holowacz narrowly missed her own school-record in the 1,500 meters timing a 4:43.34 to place second overall and first in division two, and Chris McFee won the Division II discus hurling it 139 feet.
Bethany Norris, a top-two seed in the 400-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles, fell short in her bid to reach the state meet in each event. The Midstate Athletic Conference record-holder in each event, put forth a strong effort in the 400-meter dash timing a 58.79, but she fell short to Oxford freshman Katie Woodford, who improved her personal-best time by nearly two seconds nipping Norris in 58.75. "Bethany was ready to compete, and if you do your job and someone beats you, then you shake their hand and move on," Munro said. "Bethany ran a great race and did her job, just another kid stepped up, and you have to give credit to them."
Elsewhere, G-MU’s Peter Schmidt easily captured the Division II pentathlon. Outdistancing his nearest opposition by nearly 50 points, Schmidt moves on after scoring 2,984 points.
