Section XI Fan

You can add two more track athletes to your list of colleges

Kathryn Marshall...Brown University (IVY LEAGUE)

Jaclyn Marshall... Columbia University (IVY LEAGUE)

You should be very proud.

Way to go to both of your daughters.  You should be very proud. The best thing about the two of them is that academics come first, just by the schools they have chosen you can tell. Columbia seems like the Long Island Connection now. Jaclyn ran very good last night in both the 3000 and the 1500. Amazing how this small Kings Park school has done so much in XC and Track without one of the counties best long distance runners in Kathryn.  Example to all... Work hard, study harder, get your education, and never ever give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's amazing, we thought she fell but then weren't sure because we saw that her and another runner got tangled up but she seemed to be running fine right after that and was right back in the race almost immediately.

Good luck to all those running today at the Armory. Please post your times and other information for your races on here for everyone to see because its not going to be in Newsday tomorrow. Its going to be more wrestling.... Two pages on wrestling and almost a half of a page on who is wrestling who in the semis and finals. We could have kept that out and put in who won at the girls and boys state quals for track and field but I am not a writer or publisher just a customer.lol. All high schools sports on Long Island are competitive and these kids achieve many things but no sport except maybe lacrosse has more kids go to big time schools and win big honors.

You are right about their time. That is great and thats the US #2 time of the year and Kellenberg ran the same 7:47 which is the US #3 time of the year in the 4x800 Boys but the number went to the team from New Bern NC which only beat these two great catholic schools out by .02 for the US #1 time of the year and US #10 time in the history of HS track and field.

Always great job to Garden City with a US #4 time in the 4x800 for the girls in a time of 9:10.

Coming in 30th in the same race at the USATF in San Diego was Brendan Martin GIO's ex teammate and Merber's soon to be new teammate in a time of 25:57 for the 8K.

In the girls race Jordan Hasay which most of you know, have seen, or heard of, just ran a 20:32 in the girls 6K, winning by 13 seconds over a superstar from Stanford and beating many of the countries best. Greatest thing is she is overcoming an injury from December, is only a HS Junior but ran a 9:23 in the 3000  last week and only received 3 sentences for this 3000 in her local paper.  Just amazing how some of these kids even the greats like Jordan Hasay who most likely is going to make the olympics, turn pro, and maybe even win a gold medal someday only get a few lines or nothing at all in the paper but if your an All county athlete in other sports you can get a page because you scored 30 points in a basketball game or 5 touchdowns in a football game, its just unbelievable.  The way you kids are running, getting faster and faster every year and destroying these records they wont have an option but to listen, look, and write. some day.  Keep it up, work hard, love your sport, and always give your all. 

Anyone who hasn't decided on a college yet don't look too far, plenty of great schools right in our area....Iona (Boys US# 2) NYU (Boys division III National Champions), Hofstra, Adelphi, Dowling, NYIT, CW Post, Stonybrook (Girls 31st at NCAA Division 1 championship), Manhattan College, Wagner College, Pace university, Columbia University, Fordham University, and many many more...

Congrats

Congrats to Alexandra. I guess she'll be doing the sprint races(200,300,400) and long jump while attending Lehigh and maybe walking on to the soccer team or trying xc?lol Also a great school academically and just to show everyone it is another student athlete (runner) who has put the academics first. Way to go, goodluck in the spring and at Lehigh.
