OHS’ Parker Bound For NYS Track & Field Championships

OSWEGO, NY – Eliza Parker is bound for the New York State Track and Field Championships once again as she qualified for the 100 hurdle competition.

Meanwhile, the boys’ varsity track and field team wound down the year and the boys’ modified lacrosse team finished a perfect season 10-0.

OHS Senior Headed To State Track

Oswego senior track standout Parker turned in an outstanding performance for the Lady Bucs at the Section 3 State Meet Qualifier Thursday to earn a return trip to the New York State Track and Field Championships.

The championships will be held June 11 and 12 at Vestal High School in the Southern Tier.

Parker shattered her previous best in the 100 meter hurdles with an outstanding time of 15.37 to advance to the state finals.

She also earned a personal best in the 400 meter hurdles, with a fine time of 1:06.02, to place second, just missing the state cut time.

“This is a great way for Eliza to end a fine high school running career,” said veteran Oswego coach Jim McCaul. “Eliza’s hard work and dedication has led to much success throughout her career both in cross country and track including three trips to the state finals. Eliza is a very competitive and talented young lady, who has played a big role in our program’s success and will be greatly missed. I am looking forward to continued success for Eliza next weekend at Vestal as she competes against the state’s elite as well as next spring as she competes at the collegiate level.”

Parker also ran a leg on the Lady Bucs’ talented 400 meter relay of Cydney Ward, Alexis Files, and Whitney Ford, whose strong time of 53.17, earned them 7th place among the section’s elite.

Ford also placed 8th for Oswego in the 100 meter dash, with a fast time of 13.4.

Buc Track And Field Finishes Up

Members of the Oswego High School varsity boys’ track team took part in the State Qualifier Meet on Thursday at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.

“Although we didn’t qualify for the state meet, the boys participated on a high level. Most had personal bests as they never quit. I was very proud of the way they competed,” Oswego coach Erwin Dewey said.

The Bucs’ 4 x 100-meter relay team continued to be consistent as it broke the school record for the third time this year.

The relay’s time of 45.05 was good for 5th place in Division I.

Running on the relay were Cory Keefe, Brent Denny, Dan Cirino, and Ryan Jock.

Eli Tyler completed his senior season with a personal-best time of 57.13 in the 400-meter hurdles, placing 3rd.

“Eli had a good season as he led the team in scoring,” Dewey said.

“As a freshman, he was second on the team in scoring this year,” Dewey said.

Jock finished a fine season as he took 6th place in the long jump (18’ 11.5”).

“He did a very good job in his first season on the team,” Dewey said. “He placed 3rd in points for the year.”

Mitch Maniccia concluded a strong senior season by placing 8th in the shot put (44’ 4”). He was 5th in points this season.

“These seniors scored many points and will be missed next year. They did a good job,” Dewey said.
