Yesterday, the rain lingered long enough to allow the first combined GISA and AAC track and field meeting of the 2010 outdoor season to be convened at Mill Springs Academy. Of the five schools in attendance, The Cottage School girls placed third, while the boys varsity team earned second place. Some outstanding team contributions were made by Desi Levan who won the 300m intermediate hurdles, earned second in the long jump, a very close second in the 100 meter hurdles, and third in the 200 meter dash. Emily Moore placed third in the 100meter dash, fourth in the discus, and second in the shot put. Janet Keller won the 3200m run, placed third in the 800 and third in the 1600. Amanda Tilley placed first in the shot put and fifth in the discus. Lynn Berbach scored valuable points by placing third in the 3200. Morgan Carrig placed third in the 1600 and fourth in the 800. Andrea Key put six on the board by placing a close third in the long jump.
For the young male Cougars, up-and-comer Artie Leach won the 3200 and placed second in a brilliant 1600meter duel. Senior Will Jones placed third in the 3200 and fourth in the 1600. James Dorsey placed third in the shot and discus competitions. Jonathan Leibel missed scoring by one place in the Shot put. The speedster, Patrick Thompson placed third in both the 200 meter dash, and boys 100. Alex Terry scored a point by placing sixth in the 400 meter dash. Chris Hill earned 6 points by placing third in the 800, while Cass Thurston earned an additional four points by chasing him to the line for fourth. The 4X100 A and B teams placed fifth and sixth, respectively. The A team for the first meet consisted of Thompson, McCormick, Diamond, and Hill. The B team was comprised of Gammage, Gwynn, Boven and O’ Brien. The boy’s 4X400 meter relay team placed fourth. Running after dusk, Jones, Thurston, Terry and Hill finished the meet in a flurry to conclude an exciting evening of athletic competition and a brilliant display of esprit de corps by our contingency of student-athletes.
