SYRACUSE – It didn’t take long for the Cazenovia indoor track and field teams to show that it could compete quite well against the top large schools when they went head-to-head. During Saturday’s second session of the Jack Morse Kickoff Meet at SRC Arena the Lakers put up 73 points on the boys side to finish fourth behind Baldwinsville, Cicero-North Syracuse and Marcellus. Meanwhile the girls had 32 points for sixth place, the best finish of any area small school, and it included school record holder Susie Pittman again winning the pole vault, her clearance of 10 feet 6 inches ahead of a field that included teammate Tara Pratt in fourth topping 6’6”. Cazenovia was also victorious in the boys high jump when Eliot Comeau cleared 5’10” with fewer misses than two Marcellus challengers, Ay-Zoh Shaw and Xander Szalach. Brooks Ruddy was 12th and Owen Woodworth 14th both topping 5’1”. Also in boys field events, Braden Carnahan’s long jump of 19’10 3/4” was a close second to CBA’s Quinten Lewis (20’1 1/2”) as Wyatt Scott gained third place with 19’8 3/4”. Ethan Burry rose to third place in the weight throw with a toss of 43’9” as Finnegan Gleeson (38’5”) finished ninth. Burry also threw the shot put 36’6 1/4” for ninth place.

In the 4×400 Comeau, Alex Dolly, Tristan Field-Bradley and Basil Sayre finished third in 3:44.07, Field-Bradley taking ninth in the 600-meter run in 1:34.59.
