It was a thrilling weekend in North Syracuse, where hundreds of high school track and field athletes descended for the New York State High School Track and Field Championships.
True to form--and despite damp conditions--the most dominant runners won the day. Yet the competition was fierce, with dozens of distance runners in contention for titles in the 2000m steeplechase, 3000m steeplechase, 1500m, 1600m, 3000m and 3200m races.
Choosing the Distance Runners of the Year and All-Distance Teams was incredibly difficult. Many factors were considered, but in the end, we put great weight on State Championship performances and prior outstanding races. Our teams this year are made up of 50 runners--25 boys and 25 girls--of which 25 are Seniors, 17 are Juniors, 5 are Sophomores and 2 are Freshmen. All are exciting, hard-working runners with a bright future as harriers--from the mile to the marathon, and beyond!
Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, your 2012 New York High School Distance Runners of the Year, First-Team All Distance, Second-Team All Distance and Distance Honorable Mentions!
