The Inside Track
Sunday January 10, 2010
Sunday January 10, 2010: Shaker’s Boys team turned in a strong performance at Cornell in the Southern Tier Invitational on Saturday, January 9th. 
Matt Conti had a big day in winning the 600M, the 300M and he ran a leg on the winning 4x400M relay. His time in the 600M just missed the school record by a second and is the 8th fastest time in that event in the country this season. Chris Herman also moved onto the National Elite list (#22 in U.S.) with his second place finish in the 600M along with a leg on the winning 4x400M. Among the many notable performances by Shaker athletes were: Eric Young with a second place in the 3200M and a leg on the second place 4x800M relay team, sophomores Jon Vallecorsa (3rd) and Ethan Hausamann (11th) in the 3200M, JQ Chandler (4th) in the 300M and (4th) in the 55M Hurdles along with a leg on the winning 4x400M team, Brendan Dolan (5th) in the 55M Hurdles and anchor leg on the winning 4x400M relay, Ryan Egan (3rd) in the 1600M and a sub-two minute anchor leg on the second place 4x800M team, Mike Libruk (11th) in the 1600M and a leg on the same 4x800M relay, Darryl Roberts (6th) in the 55M and a leg on the third place 4x200M relay and Casey Gilboy with a 10th place in the 1000M. The field events also gave Shaker athletes an opportunity to display their talent. They were led by throwers Nequan Lewis (3rd in Shot put and and 2nd in weight throw), Carlos Mendez (4th in shot put and 6th in weight throw) and Josh Ramsay (5th in shot put). Other top performances in field events by Shaker athletes include Sterling Green in high jump (3rd place tie), David Haller (10th) in triple jump, Reuben Feinman (12th) in long jump and Tim Derocher (12th) in the pole vault. Results
The Shaker Girls team finished in 17th place of the 47 teams who scored in the Dartmouth Relays. The Distance Medley Relay team finished third and Zosia Dunn finished fourth in her 1000M to provide all the scoring for Shaker in the meet. Results
The final League Meet of the season for the Shaker Boys and Girls teams was held at Union College on Sunday, January 10th. While it was the final meet of the season for many of the JV athletes, there were new personal records for many of the participating athletes. Since this was a non-scoring meet, information including updated leaderboards, will be posted as it is received from the coaches this week. Among the strong performers from Shaker was Dylan Hedderman, who won the 1600M and 1000M in PR times in both events. League Meet #5 Photo Gallery
The Yale Classic Invitational on Friday and Saturday (1/15-16) highlights the upcoming week. The entries for the meet will be announced this week by coaches. Look for a link to the 3000M entry list on this website on Wednesday night. In response to the very positive reaction to the live posts from the Armory Meet a couple weeks ago, plans are being made to add live posts on Shakerrunning.com from the Yale meet this weekend.

At least three Grade records were earned at the Southern Tier Invitational. Matt Conti now holds the 12th grade record for the 300M, Sterling Green moved into a four-way tie for the 10th grade high jump at 5’10” and Caleb Mellon ran the fastest time for a Shaker 9th grader in the 1000M.
