Boys track team blows past Panthers

by William Belson

After the two-point loss to Colon last week, Pittsford rebounded strongly with an 82-51 beatdown of Climax-Scotts.

The boys worked hard in this meet, and it paid off with some very good performances. Junior Garet Lee won the high jump (5’08.00”) and the 110m hurdles (17.00), senior Ben Wines took first in shot put (42’07.00”) and in the disc (128’11.00”), junior Kurtis Brackman won the pole vault (12’00.00”), the 3200m relay team took first (9:00.00), Luke Irwin placed first in the 1600m run (5:16.20), junior Bradley Beach won the 400m dash (56.10), freshman Blake Toner took the 300m hurdles (45.10), sophomore Brent Smith won the 800m run (2:11.00) and the 3200m run (10:57.00), and the mile relay team took first (3:46.00).

Brackman put forth a great effort, which helped him get 12’ in the pole vault against Climax . “The work I had put in to practice last week (paid off),” said Kurtis. “And I got a new pole which is really good; it helped me get up there. Hopefully I can get 12’06.00,” said Brackman.
