School Records Fall All Over the Armory

By Mitch Silver

 

Three weeks after the Panthers traveled to Manhattan’s New Balance Armory and crowned a pair of league champions while breaking a school record, the Black Cats were at it again. Competing in the Section 1 Class C Track & Field Championships at the same 168^th Street venue last weekend, the foursome that ran the 4×400-meter relay in a school-record time of 3:50.82 in January blew that mark to smithereens.

 

The quartet of Eikoh Hayashi, Raymond Rivituso, Dan Fujiwara, and Brendan Tuohy broke the tape in 3:45.35, nearly five and a half seconds faster than they’d ever gone before. And, as they say on the Home Shopping Network … wait, there’s more: Rivituso would join Corey Parker, Milo Haviland, and Shakihar Saran to run the 2×400 relay in 1:43.93, another school mark. Finally, not to be outdone by his teammate’s double-record-crushing day, Hayashi leaped 18’ 2.5” in the long jump to earn his second school record on the afternoon. 

 

Imagine what Coach Myla Allen’s team will do outdoors this spring.
