Speed Shatters Patriot’s Records
For the first time in the five (5) year history of the Empire State Liberty Tour Track & Field Series, the Patriot’s Invitational was not hosted at Shenendehowa High School due to the complete reconstruction of a new eight (8) lane track, and an all new field events layout, which will be ready for the […]
Master Hunter
You have heard of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Superman, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, and Captain America, but they were not present for this Independence Invitational (though they are always invited). Nonetheless, though these Master’s athletes may not be Master’s of the Universe, their record setting performances on this Sunday afternoon at the University @ Albany clearly made an […]
Eagles Eye on the JOs
It was the perfect day for championship competition! It was not too hot, not too humid, and perfectly sunny,. It was one of those days you dream of for a competition such as the Adirondack Junior Olympic Championships. Even the temporary lack of power, didn’t taint this wonderful day. It was a day filled with excitement, competition and fun, […]
A President’s Pride
I can remember as a young boy taking the President’s Physical Fitness Exam in elementary school. The goal was for all students to learn the life long values of exercise and fitness, in order to live a long, healthy, happy life. Now at the young age of 46 I find myself watching the next generation […]
Breaking the Record – What a Classic
It was Hazy, Hot, and Humid, but it didn’t break the record heat of 95 degrees at the inaugural Constitution Classic of 2005 in Niskayuna. But, the weather didn’t keep Brandon Mills (Pictured Above) from breaking the 110m High Hurdles record in the Young Men’s division, with a time of 20.06. That makes two straight meets that Brandon has […]
Leaping Into the Record Book
The Fourth Annual Patriot’s Invitational, the first stop of the Empire State Liberty Tour Track & Field Series, was everything it was expected to be. The weather was near perfect, with temperatures in the high 60’s and the sun shining most of the day. For those athletes that broke more than 75 Patriot’s Invitational meet records, […]
In the Beginning
In the beginning there were rookies, veterans, boys, girls, Bantams, Midgets, Youth, Intermediates, and Young Men. After the Empire State Liberty Tour Track & Field Series, the Region 1 Junior Olympics, there were only five that remained. These five Eagles took flight to the mountains of Southern California to Mount San Antonio College where […]
Eagles Land on the Island
As it always happens, we begin the year with a much larger group than those that advance to the “Qualifying” meets. This year was no different, as the athletes pictured above are merely a fraction of the number of athletes that began the year. Nonetheless, they had qualified at the Adirondack Junior Olympic meet in […]
Adirondack Junior Olympian
It was a perfect day to compete, as long as you were throwing the Discus or the Javelin. With winds gusting to 30mph, this was hardly the day to set any records on the Track, but it was ideal for Kayla Owens who took 2nd place in the Midget Girls Discus Throw with a toss of 13.91m. Moreover, […]
Presidents of the Future
It is not certain that they will ever run for President, but it is certain that these four boys have a very bright future in Track & Field. It was a picture perfect day for the President’s Open (the third stop of the Empire State Liberty Tour) at Queensbury High School on Saturday, June 16, […]
