Track and Field

SIDNEY – B-G/Afton swept the team titles at the Midstate Athletic Conference Track and Field Championships Thursday at Sidney High School.

On the girls’ side, the Bears had 131 points to runner-up Sidney’s 91. For the boys, it was an impressive display of athletic talent and balance throughout the events as the Bears racked up 201 total points, more than 2 1/2 times the score of second-place Greene’s 71.

B-GA’s boys took the top three spots in the 1,600-meter run, the 200-meter dash, and the 3,200-meter run. Corey Burnett won the two longer races, while Mike Loitsch outdueled teammates Josh Norris and Jake Taylor timing 22.6 seconds in the 200.

On the girls’ side, eighth-grader Isamarie Ramos won the steeplechase for the Bears, grabbed the 800 meters, and had two second-place finishes to lead her club.

Oxford’s defending state champion, Katie Woodford, had her best time of the season in the 400-meter dash timing a 57.6. She also won the 100-meter dash, and teamed with her sister Emily, Amanda Marks, and Jessica Russo to win the 400-meter relay. Emily Woodford also set a season-low time in the 200-meter dash winning in 25.7. “We are very pleased with where we are, and as far as goal setting, we’re right on track,” said Oxford coach Irene DeJager. “Katie is way ahead of the pace she had last year at this time.”

Below are results from the meet. Next week, Marathon will host the Class C Track and Field Meet.

STAC Championships

Norwich’s 400-meter relay team of Elisha Eddy, Cleo Daoud, Katie Benenati, and Sarah Bonnell established a new school record, and had the best overall finish for the Tornado at the Southern Tier Athletic Conference Track and Field Championship Thursday afternoon.

The NHS quartet timed 50.7 seconds (50.94 under the fully automatic timing system) to eclipse their own record by one-tenth of a second, and the time guarantees them a spot in the Section IV state qualifier in two weeks.

Bonnell added a fourth in the 100-meter dash (12.6) and also placed in the long jump (16-feet, 8-inches). Daoud was also fourth in the 200 meters (26.6).

On the boys’ side, Mike Reilly set a new personal mark in the 110-meter hurdles timing 15.8 to place fourth, the highest place finish on his squad. Max Morse was fifth in the pole vault with a career-best 12-feet, Kyle Acenowr took fifth in the 200-meter dash clocking a season-low 23.7, Matt Murray was sixth in the 400 meters (52.8), Pat Taylor took sixth in the long jump( 20-1/2) and the 1,600-meter relay team of Acenowr, Murray, Cameron Turner, and Nate Ashton finished in a season-low 3:34.5.

Baseball

Sidney 12, Norwich 5

NORWICH – Sidney’s Dylan Umbra was a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate with three RBI, and he pitched four innings for the victory in a non-league victory at Norwich Thursday.

Andy Kozak pitched three innings of scoreless relief, and was 4-for-5 with three runs scored and two RBI. “The top of their lineup is just outstanding, and Kozak and Umbra were patient at the plate and took the ball either way,” said Norwich coach John Martinson. “We have been playing good baseball. We made too many errors today and took a step back.”

The Tornado’s Christian Hotaling and Richie Bonney had two hits and one RBI apiece. Josh Borfitz added an RBI triple for Norwich (4-10), who play at Oneonta on Wednesday in the Section IV tournament.

Otselic Valley 18, George Jr. Republic 1

DRYDEN – Otselic Valley scored six runs in its first at-bat, and never looked back in a non-league win over George Jr. Republic to finish the regular season.

OV (7-8, 5-7) scored all of its runs over the first four innings to make a winner out of starting pitcher Dylan Comfort. Karl Graham had three RBI for the Vikes, while Chuckie Bishop and Mike Larkin were credited with two ribbies apiece. “They had an extremely difficult time finding the strike zone, and it kind of got out of hand,” said Vikings coach Dave Loomis.
