Season Highlights: Liam Dubbed Elliott’s Straight Man; Schuck, Once Again, a Rightie

Posted by The JFK Observer Armory Track on March 15, 2009

For better or for worse, the Gael’s Liam Perry was dubbed Coach Elliott’s straight man at the 2009 Winter Track Dinner.

Look out competition! JFK’s Dylan Schuck, who competed this winter admirably using his left arm, has regained the use of his right arm. Did you know that Dylan has the JFK school record in the Javelin?

At States… Kennedy Catholic’s… Kendzor… Fourth… Public… Fifth… Federation

Kennedy Catholic’s Jessica Kendzor earned a fourth place medal in the public school division and a fifth place medal in the Federation as part of the Section 1 distance medley relay. The relay consists of four runners from different schools running legs of 600, 300, 1,000 and 1,600 meters. Kendzor, a junior, ran the 1000-meter leg in 3:06. The Section 1 squad finished with an overall time of 10:42.74.

Running as the 1000-Meter leg, Kendzor was “boxed in” by several opponents during the race, which concerned Kennedy coach Sister Janet Meehan. Luckily, she was able to deftly slip out of the logjam and finish strong.
