(photos courtesy of Vincent DiSalvio, The Journal News)
by Ronald Landayan, staff reporter Cordisco Field - There were numerous outstanding performances recorded as the 2006 Red Raiders kicked off their 19th annual Red Raider Relays. Though, the first day of The Red Raider Relays was a qualifier for many events there were still many exciting moments. The track was packed and the crowd was deafening. The girls’ 1600m run kept everyone on their feet from start to finish. Sarah McCurdy from Bay Shore made a move after two laps, passing last years medalist Kara McKenna. McCurdy finished with a time of 5:00.18 to break the current record at the meet by almost two seconds. Arianna Garrison of Newburgh who also finished strongly, came in 2nd place with a time of 5:03.28, just a second in front of 3rd place Kara McKenna. The boys’ 1600m proved to be equally thrilling with Kyle O’Brien of Monroe Woodbury taking a gutsy mid race move after the first two laps. O’ Brien held on and passed the finish line first in 4:28.89. The mile was not the only event with a thrilling finish. The last event, the 5k "under the lights" was as quoted by many coaches and competitors as, "A race that they will always remember." The grueling 12 lap race was jaw-dropping, and no one had anticipated that Bean would drop out after 8 laps, leaving first up for grabs. With the opportunity in hand Colin Anderson, and Bobby Krauss jolted past Bean. They battled it out for the remaining laps, shoulder to shoulder, without looking back. Krauss had the upper hand until the last two laps where Colin Anderson made his move. Though not anticipated by the crowd, the determined Anderson beat out Krauss to take first. Both competitors had stellar times of 15:39.05 and 15:44.34. The field events were also very close and many were inches away from a medal. Bianca Fung of North Babylon won the varsity Girls triple jump with an unbelievable jump of 18-00.50 and beat out Whitney Ford of White plains by almost a foot. In the girls varsity shot put, Kadine Johnson left the field behind with a throw of 42-03.25 to take the gold.
