Tri-county adds three more track golds by lunch time on Saturday

By Ken McMillan | Published: June 12, 2010 | 0 Comments

Saturday has been a golden day for Section 9 athletes.
Amber Passalaqua of Pine Bush successfully defended her girls’ pentathlon title, giving her gold for the Federation and public schools Division I.
Liberty’s Jessica Dunnigan was a surprise winner in the Division II 200-meter final. Dunnigan was running a solid second place headed into the final 10 meters when the leader suddenly fell down and Dunnigan crossed first.
Onteora freshman Emily Waligurski added the girls’ 1,500-meter Division II title to the 3,000 crown she won on Friday.
Section 9 also garnered three gold medals from Millbrook’s Darnel “D.J.” Cummings, who won the Division II titles in the 100 and 200 and the Fed title in the 100, with the Fed 200 still to come.
The relays are coming up around 3:30 p.m., and there are many medal possibilities. Newburgh Free Academy is seeded third in the girls’ 400 and 1,600 Fed finals. NFA is also looking to defend its boys’ 1,600 relay Fed title after setting the state record on Friday. Monroe-Woodbury, though, is also a title contender in the same race.
Jennifer Mitchell of NFA is competing in the Fed long jump and triple jump finals this afternoon. Soroya Hudson of Cornwall is a medal contender in the Fed triple jump.
Aisling Cuffe of Cornwall was second and Lillian Greibesland of Warwick was third in the girls’ Fed 1,500/Div. I final.
