Individually, Julia Oglesby of Unadilla Valley once again claimed the top spot on the podium in four different events, repeating her performance from the MAC Championships a week earlier.
Oglesby won the same events for the second week in a row – the high jump, long jump, 200 meter and 100 meter dash – but there was something special about the time of one of her events.
Her time in the 100 meter dash, the shortest race of the meet, was recorded at 12.56 seconds. As Oglesby streaked down the lane for the event, she secured a new UV High School record Thursday afternoon.
Joining Oglesby on the podium for the results of the long jump was Oxford’s Jadyen Munson, placing fourth with a distance of 15 feet-6 inches.
Just missing her chance to snag team points was Bainbridge-Guilford’s Macie Leizear. Leizear however, recovered quickly and claimed points in the triple jump, finishing fifth.
Also placing in the triple jump was Oxford’s Katelyn Ingraham and Munson. Ingraham leaped to fourth place while Munson placed just one spot higher, landing in the pit at a distance just over 33 feet.
Molly Avolio of the Storm placed second in the shot put with a toss of 32 feet-10 inches. Avolio was edged out of first place by Gilberstville-Mount Upton’s Kathryn Hawkins.
On the boys side of the long jump, Bobcats’ Nick Petrutoni leaped to a distance of 18 feet-10 inches, edging out Greene’s Coy Austin for third place. The two were seperated by almost two inches.

In the 100 meter dash, Austin ran a 11.77 in the preliminaries and qualified for the finals. With just a few events in between, he raced again and came in eighth for the straight away race.
