Canastota Classic (Fri. May 11, 2001) This was my first opportunity to watch Brian Mosher (Little Falls) for a full meet, and I was very impressed. Brian won the 100m (11.3), 200m (23.0), triple jump (42' 8") and anchored Little Falls 4x400m relay team to victory (400m split was an outstanding 50.7, and he did it on his own with a big lead and no pressure from any competitor). Lauren Noble (Little Falls) was a duel winner in the girls steeplechase (7:48.6 ... her first ever) and 1500m race (5:03.6). Canastota's Cassidy Mariano was a duel winner in her specialties, shot put (36' 0.5") and discus (101' 9"). Jamie Clinton (Indian River) won the girls 200m (27.4) and 400m (62.5).

Lia Cross came back and won the open 800m (2:23.9) ... so twice on the same day she was at or near her 800m PR. Jessica Portmess returned to win the 400m hurdles (69.2) and run a 64.4 split in Tully's winning 4x400m relay team (4:24.1) ... she ran 68.2 (400H) earlier in the week. Tully's Laurie Fraser won the Girls Field MVP award ... Laurie won both the long jump (15' 2") and triple jump (33' 1"). I did not take any photos of this meet ... first, I forgot to bring floppy disks for my digital camera and second, it was my turn for timing duty at the finish line. The meet ran smoothly and on time thanks to CBA officials and volunteers, Official Starter Bill Townsend and Finish Line Official Rick Lavin.
Canastota Co-Ed Relays at Canastota (April
28, 2001) I am posting selected individual results and comments on a separate page linked to my Results Page. The Tully coaches are very proud of the Tully girls and boys performances ... Tully competed at the Phoenix Relays the previous night (got back about 9:45pm) and boarded the bus at 8:00am the next morning for Canastota ... many athletes competed in a full series of events at both meets and did very well (fortunately, Coach Franklin was unable to find another meet for Sunday). Once again, I was very impressed by the Lister sisters from South Jefferson (Melissa, Jessica and Nicole). For example, Jessica ran a 68.0 400m hurdles and a 62.4 400m split in the DMR ... she has also pole vaulted 8' this season ... Melissa ran a 4:02.9 1200m split in the DMR and Nicole ran a 5:33.0 1600m split in the DMR (very comfortably). [Click Here for Photos of the Canastota Relay Meet]
