UNION-ENDICOTT – Hard work, perseverance and putting it all together – the Norwich and Unadilla Valley Track and Field varsity programs enjoyed advancing the best of their student-athletes to this year’s New York State Championship for outdoor Track and Field.

The two day meet, held at Ty Cobb Stadium at Union-Endicott High School this past weekend, June 9 and 10 – featured the best of the best.

The best of the best in NYS high school Track and Field included the likes of Norwich’s Zack Race, his 4x100m relay team (Race, David Berger, Ky’sawn Veale, and Eric Conant), Norwich’s Kara Evans and Caroline Stewart and the Norwich girls 4x800m relay team (Katie Gawronski, Nicole Jeffrey, Hailey Colabelli, and Meghan Komendarek) – as well as Unadilla Valley sprinter, Julia Oglesby.

Race dominated the field, bringing home five medals and securing a podium finish in the Federation finals (Combined finals for DI and DII schools) in the 100m and 200m dashes. Caroline Stewart would compete in two events, besting her seeding to bring home podium finishes in DII for long and triple jump – while the boys 4x100m relay team reset the NHS school record to bring home a podium finish in DII.
