Senior Michael Kiley of Chaminade High School toured the 3000-meter steeplechase in 9:13.92 at the 2009 New York State Track & Field Championship Meet to set a new national leading time.
Kiley joined another New York national leading times leader as a winner at the meet when senior Shelby Greany of Suffern won the 2000 steeplechase in 6:36.90. Greany had set her national leading time of 6:33.7 earlier in the year.
The other national leader from New York, Benjamin Cardozo High School in the 4 x 400 relay (3:39.96), could not lower its mark at the state meet as Hempstead won in 3:50.59 with Charlene Lipsey, Donna-Lee Hylton, Velma Morant and Asheka Gibson. Lipsey also won the 800 in 2:08.67.
Junior Alex Hatz of Fayetteville-Manlius set a new state meet record of 4:06.11 in the boys 1600, and Senior Jeff Martinez of Johnson City pulled off an upset by beating Chris Stogsdill of Marcellus to win the 3200 in 8:57.60. It was a come from behind victory for Hatz; Stogsdill went out fast and then finished 4th in 9:08.84, beaten also by John Muller of Arlington (9:00.60) and Scott Anderson of East Aurora (9:03.91).
Two other state championship winners are worthy of note. Sophomore Chamique Francis of Cardozo went 53.42 in the 400, and Shenendehowa's 4 x 800 relay team of Danika Simonson, Alex Burtnik, Cara Janeczko and Lizzie Predmore ran 9:01.00.
Shenendehowa's time is significant because it is only 93 one-hundreds slower than national leader Thompson Valley of Colorado (9:00.07), and Burtnik is a sophomore and Predmore a freshman.
Megan Ptrignelli of Monroe-Woodbury won the 1500 in 4:25.65, the 3rd fastest time in the nation this season.
There were also two double winners among the girl champions. Sophomore Ashley Fields of Amherst won the 100 (11.85) and 200 (23.66), and Junior Melissa Kurzdorfer of Lancaster won the shot put (48-03) and the discus (158-09). Here are the New York State champions in all events:
