Pole vault finish sends Dawgs to top of Division IV

Sullivan West boys beat Tri-Valley with pole vault points; Lady Bears prevail for second year

By RICHARD A. ROSS

JEFFERSONVILLE, NY - “First things first” is an expression that aptly describes the importance of the April 18 track meet between Sullivan West and Tri-Valley. For the second year, the two schools met in early spring for a track meet that essentially would decide which boys and girls teams would end up as the Division IV champions.

The teams split the honors, with the Sullivan West boys edging out the Bears, while the Lady Bears easily handled a young Sullivan West girls team that lost three huge point gatherers to graduation. Gone now are April Ackermann, Jessica Wagner and Amanda Ward.

And this year they stayed dry. Dressed in a panoply of brightly colored uniforms, track and field athletes streaked by, flew through the air into long, triple and high jump pits, launched themselves into the stratosphere in the pole vault and flung objects skyward, including the shot put, discus, hammer and javelin, in displays of strength and grace.
