Jesuit Track and Field Team Crowned District 8-5A Champions
Junior Kevin Fitzgerald leads the field in the 1600 meter race.
For the first time in 38 years, the Blue Jay track
and field team won the district title.
View the 2007 Track District Meet Photo Gallery. (The following article is courtesy of the Times-Picayune and nola.com) Jesuit Wins 8-5A Title Saturday, April 21, 2007 By Pierce W. Huff, Staff Writer Thirty-eight years -- that's how long it had been since Jesuit won a district title in track, according to long-time assistant coach Rodney Louque. That fact was a source of motivation for Jesuit in the District 8-5A track and field meet Friday at Tad Gormley Stadium. The Blue Jays ended their district-title drought, getting their first crown since 1969. "We've won a lot of state championships through the years, and we haven't won in track in a while, and now we can add track to the championships," said Jesuit senior Manford Laws, who ran on the Blue Jays' second-place 1,600-meter relay team.
Jesuit finished with 133 points, and Brother Martin was second with 106.
Mount Carmel repeated as 8-5A champs in the girls meet with 152 points. Dominican was second with 138.
Jesuit's winners in the field events were Ben Duhe in the long jump (21 feet, 11 ½ inches) and triple jump (44-3 ¾), and Kyle Rose in the pole vault in (14-7).
Rose set a Catholic League record, breaking the mark of 14-6 by Jesuit's Beau Bagley in 1993. After Rose's victory, Jesuit trailed Brother Martin 60-59.
Jesuit junior Kevin Fitzgerald had the team's most dramatic victories. The Blue Jays took a 69-65 lead for first place when Fitzgerald sprinted past Rummel's Alex Lorio and out-leaned him at the finish to win the 1,600. Fitzgerald had a time of 4:24.68. Lorio had a time of 4:24.69. Jesuit's Cullen Doody finished fourth in 4:39.18.
Fitzgerald sprinted past Brother Martin's Kenneth Schiffman and won the 800 with a lean at the finish in 2:00.01. Schiffman had a time of 2:00.22.
"I don't like these kinds of finishes," Fitzgerald said. "They are too scary."
Jesuit also finished first and second in the 300-meter hurdles with Yuki Dunn in 41.31 seconds and Clinton Panchame in 42.54.
Jesuit clinched the title when Kenny Ehrhardt and Graham Williams finished second and third in the 3,200.
Brother Martin's field-events winners were Ryan Roubin (javelin), Kurt Dichiara (shot put) and Andrew Rebennack (discus).
The difference for Mount Carmel was its ability to dominate the field events. The Cubs were in first place with 73 points, followed by Dominican (34), Bonnabel (21) and Chapelle (18), going into the track events.
Amaras Genemaras won the long jump with a distance of 16-1 ¾ and the triple jump at 33-3 ¾.
Candace Burgard won the 100-meter hurdles in 16.69 seconds and finished second in the high jump at 4-10. Burgard won the shot put (38-1) and javelin (117-9) on the first day of the meet Wednesday.
Dominican won the 800- and 1600-meter relays and was second in the 400-meter relay.
Renee Hanemann won the 800 in 2:23.19, the 1,600 in 5:22.79 and the 3,200 in 12:10.61. Ruth Polk won the 100 in 12.51. Shavonne Temple won the 400 in 1:03.09. Myrketa Gibson won the 300-meter hurdles in 49.35. |
