\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0With\u00a0less than two weeks until\u00a0the beginning of Summer, it felt more like the cool winds from September 17th, 1787 (the agreement by all of the States in the Union to the Constitution) with only a week before the beginning of Autumn!\u00a0 No hazy, hot or humid this year for the Constitution Classic!\u00a0 It was\u00a0cloudy, cold and windy with temperatures\u00a0below 60 degrees.\u00a0 That is\u00a0more than a 30 degree drop in temperature from the Constitution Classic of 2005!\u00a0 But, do not\u00a0be lured into thinking that these chilling temps would keep things from heating up\u00a0at the latest version of the Classic.\u00a0 Perhaps it would suffice to say that like the Constitution, which has been amended several times, so were the records for the Constitution Classic!<\/p>\n

Two of the records\u00a0were amended by the performances of Alex Gaylord (above left) of the Country Mills Eagles and Hannah Sporn (above right)\u00a0from Olympic Region Track Club\u00a0in the\u00a0400m Intermediate Hurdles.\u00a0\u00a0In what would be a true team effort, Olympic Region (with their first appearance\u00a0at the Empire State Liberty Tour) broke\u00a0a few more records on the day.\u00a0 Josh LeBlanc set a new Young Mens 400m Dash record with a performance time of 54.22.\u00a0 Joining him in the 400m Dash was teammate Kyyla Kenyon as she set a new mark in the Youth Girls division with a time of 61.97.<\/p>\n

Making his first appearance at the Constitution Classic was Scott Hannay, and he wasted no time getting into the record books by setting a new distance in the Open Mens Javelin with a throw 53.28m.\u00a0 And, once again Timathy Holzhauer brought smoke to the track with him as he broke his own record performance\u00a0of the Empire State Liberty\u00a0Tour Series in the 100m Dash for Intermediate Boys by .04 seconds as he was clocked at 12.35.\u00a0 His teammate from the Country Mills Eagles also broke the 200m Dash record for the Empire State Liberty Tour (Intermediate Boys) with a time of 25.22.\u00a0 Kelsey Hanson set a new Youth girls High Jump mark by clearing 1.52m this year, thus breaking her record jump last year at the Constitution Classic by .02m.<\/p>\n

It’s been nearly 220 years since the time of the original Constitution in 1787, but the 2006\u00a0version\u00a0has\u00a0had just a few more amendments!\u00a0 “I’m not sure the forefathers would approve of\u00a0so many amendments this quickly, but I am more than happy to see all of them, and in person!”, said Anthony Mills, Executive Producer of the Empire State Liberty Tour Track & Field Series.\u00a0 He adds, “I can’t wait until next week in Saratoga at the President’s Open!\u00a0 Perhaps we will have a ‘Featured Event’ and invite George, Abe, Ike and Teddy to participate.”<\/p>\n
