NY State Indoor Championships - March
10, 2001
The Carrier Dome (located on the campus of
Syracuse University) hosted the 2001 NY State Indoor Track & Field
Championships. High school athletes from the eleven NY sections and
three associations (PSAL, CHSAA, and Assoc. Independent Schools) came to compete.
Actual competition got underway at approximately 9:30 AM ... competition
didn't end until nearly 8 hours later!

Junior Heather Stevens (FM, Section
3) was the outstanding winner of two gold medals ... Heather won the 55m
dash (7.18) and 300m dash (39.19). I was particularly impressed by
her strength and speed in the 300m ... Heather started fast with her main
competition and simply out-powered them in the final 100m ... a remarkable
effort!! Kamar Elliott (Henninger) also won a gold medal for
Section 3 in the boys triple jump (46' 7.25").
Lauren Heron (FM) was awarded a tie
for 2nd place in the 1000m after a major blunder by meet officials. A
message posted by Coach Jim Vermeulen (West Genesee) on the
Syracuse forum board explains the error ... "The meet officials used the wrong stagger start for BOTH heats of the girls 1000, this despite an attempt by Coach Wilson of Auburn to alert them and re-position runners correctly. Athletes in the outside box wound up running about 15 meters further. The meet committee then decided against re-running the event. Instead, they 'adjusted' the times of athletes that ran from the incorrect outside box.(Those adjusted times are not reflected in the 'official' results--subtract about 3.57 seconds).
Shannon Morris of WG was one of those, along with Lauren Heron of F-M. Lauren was 'awarded' a tie for 2nd. Shannon was 'awarded' a tie for 6th. Both were forced to race from behind after the 1st lap and both did a pretty good job of not freaking out but moving
up ... It's my opinion that Lauren was robbed of an opportunity to be State Champ and Shannon lost one or two positions by being forced to run a catch-up race, which certainly wasn't her race plan. But the committee felt it would also be unfair to make those athletes who ran the correct distance run again. So it
goes .... I think both these athletes did marvelous jobs in spite of the circumstances."
The table below has some information
concerning selected events. Note ... unless otherwise noted, the
split times refer to the leader of the race.

12 Shannon Morris West Genesee 3:08.28
13 Jessica Lister South Jefferson 3:08.51
See text above table concerning the
starting error by meet officials (girls in the outside starting box
ran an extra 15 meters). In the fast division, Lauren Heron (FM) got
out far behind due to the starting error ... by 600m she worked her
way into 3rd place (passing many runners on the outside adding extra
distance), but a 10m gap still existed between her and leaders
Alexis Lake and Megan Olds. Heron made a great effort in the final
400m, but the initial handicap was too much to overcome. But
do not take anything away from winner Alexis Lake ... she was
very strong in the final 200m and was widen her lead impressively. I
think an even-up race between Lake and Heron would have been close,
but beating Lake on this particular day would have been difficult.
