\"\"<\/a>It is uncertain whether any of these gentlemen will become lawmakers or future Consitutional Scholars, but they are certainly getting a solid start in this 100m dash during the Constitution Classic at Ichabod Crane High School on Saturday, June 9, 2007.\u00a0The Constitution may have been around more than 200 years, but that can not be said of the previous records for the Constitution Classic, the second stop of the Empire State Liberty Tour Track & Field Series.<\/p>\n

The first record broken came prior to Opening Ceremonies, when the\u00a0number of registered athletes broke 200 for the first time in three years.\u00a0Shortly after the National Anthem, records fell fast and often!\u00a0More than 85 records were broken on the day, 59 Men’s Records and 29 Women’s\u00a0Records.\u00a0In the Bantam Boys division, Austin Leonard from the Glencadia Bullets set records in the 100m (15.43), 400m (1:23.39), and the Long Jump (3.16m).\u00a0In the Young Women’s division Sarah Hannay had a complete record setting performance by posting records in all three throwing events on the day.\u00a0Her\u00a0put of the\u00a0Shot (9.90m), was her first record\u00a0, with two more\u00a0to add to her collection.\u00a0A toss of the Discus\u00a0(28.17m), and a\u00a0throw of the Javelin (30.40m) completed a perfect trio.<\/p>\n

There were eighteen (18)\u00a0Master’s Men records broken!\u00a0Zachary Gobel was responsible for two of the eighteen, as he set records in the 800m (2:07.67) and the 400m (56.03) respectively. \u00a0The next stop is the President’s Open on June 15th & 16th at Queensbury High School.\u00a0It\u00a0is also the only\u00a0meet of the Tour that includes the Combined Events.<\/p>\n

Pictured Above:\u00a0Luke Moyer shows that a proper start in the 100m dash is best learned at a young age. As a mere 7 year old Sub Bantam, his drive out of the blocks is nearly picture perfect!\n\t\t
