Mulvihill The boys and girls varsity indoor track teams have been working hard since late November. Both teams have been pushing themselves to their limits in each and every practice to get ready for this new season. The talent on both the girls and the guys teams is undeniable. With only having two meets so far in the season, Tully Indoor Track has become the team to beat.

The girls and guys teams have so much potential and talent that there is no doubt that these teams will be key teams for sectionals. During the age group meet at SUNY Cortland on December 14th the freshmen and sophomore girls and boys had an outstanding start to the season. Freshman Caroline Edinger won the 3000 meter run with more then a 20 second lead and then turned around and took 6th in the 600 meter run. In the 55 meter dash, freshmen Erica Cole finished 3rd with a time of 7.71 seconds, only .3 seconds behind the first place finisher. Sophomore Danielle Zgardzinski finished 4th in the 600 meter run and tied for 4th in the 1500 meter run. On the guys side, Sophomore Omat Okor took 4th place in the 1000m followed by team mate Kuei-chuan Lee in 15th place. Sophomore Bryan Smith finished 4th in the 55 meter dash and 2nd in the long jump. Sophomore Tom Haskins swept the High Jump, finishing 1st with a jump of 5' 8". Both teams had outstanding performances.

After having an excellent meet the freshmen and sophomores joined the juniors and seniors at Hamilton College the next morning, where they went against class A and B schools such as CNS, Henninger, and Fayetteville-Manlius. The girls team took 6th and the guys took 3rd overall, but both teams took an exceptional 1st place finish for class C schools.

On December 21st, the juniors and seniors headed to SUNY Cortland for their age group meet and once again showed everyone that Tully was stronger then ever. On the girls side, Senior Heather Fischer took 15th in the 1000 meter run. Junior Kelly Coyne finished a close 2nd place in the 1500 meter race with a time of 5:22. The 3200 meter relay team took a second place finish while the 800 meter relay team took a 5th place finish. Senior Ellen Paccia finished 5th in the high jump, while junior Corinne Burns took 10th in the Long Jump. On the guys side, Senior Marc Stachowski finished 1st in the 1000 meter run then helped the 3200 meter relay team of Greg Hartnett(12),Ohure Sam(10), Marc Stachowski(12), and Nate Weber(11) take another 1st place finish. In the 55 meter hurdles, Junior Tyler Knapp finished 6th followed by teammate Bobby Lucas who took 13th. Junior Nate Weber finished a tough 3200 meter run in 10:35 seating him in 5th place. To all the Tully Varsity Indoor Track Athletes, congratulations on a fantastic start of the season and good look to all of you.
