Westhampton Beach freshman John Reilly snagged a point in the same race by finishing fifth in 10:54.98. Nicholas Simonetta, a senior, placed fourth in the 300-meter dash in 37.85 seconds. Jack Hendrickson, a junior, placed fifth in the shot put with a throw of 38 feet 7 inches.
In what was a close meet throughout, the Hurricane girls finished second to Sayville, 121-114, at their League IV Championships which were Sunday at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood.
Lily Strebel was a double league champion in both the 1,000-meter race (3:06.24) and the 1,500-meter race (4:50.99). Maya Cirincione won the 1,500-meter race walk in 8:11.21. Teammates Emily Tully and Sydney Beardslee finished third and fourth in the same race in 8:55.49 and 8:58.74, respectively.
The 4x800-meter relay team of Strebel, Jamie Kelly, Oona Murphy and Gabby Wendel placed second in 10:33.41. The 4x200-meter relay team won in 1:54.03 and the 4x400-meter relay team placed fourth in 4:41.17. Names of runners from both teams were not provided.
Anabelle Vellosa placed second in the 300-meter dash in 43.26 seconds. Halle Geller placed second in the 55-meter dash in 7.58 seconds. Madison Phillips took second place in the 55-meter hurdles in 9.14 seconds with teammate Evangeline Wasser taking third in 9.57 seconds. Phillips also placed third in the high jump (4 feet 8 inches) and fourth in the shot put (29 feet 10 inches). Westhampton Beach head coach John Broich said that a former athlete of his, Annmarie McAuley, has been a big addition to the coaching staff as a volunteer assistant, especially helping Phillips in a number of her events. McAuley, a 1995 graduate, still holds the school record in the outdoor discus and competed collegiately at Clemson University.
Tully finished third in the triple jump with a leap of 30 feet 1 inch. Wendel finished fourth in the 600-meter run in 1:48.47 and Murphy crossed the finish line of the 3,000-meter race in 11:30.28 which placed her fifth.
