Last Saturday seven of Lansing student athletes participated in the NY State Championships held in Cornell University's Barton Hall. For the boys Juniors Josh Barber and Eddy Potter ran in the Distance medley relay as part of the Section IV intersectional relay team. This team was made up of the third place finishers at the state qualifiers in the 1600, 1000, 600, and 200 Meter events. The Section IV team finished 10th with an overall time of 9:36.08, and in the field events Senior Jeff Swayze place 11th in the shot put with a throw of 50' 1.5".

The 4 x 200 meter relay team of Junior Chloe Ryan, Senior Anna Mapes, and Sophomores Lindsay Petry and Kathryn Hornibrook qualified in prelims with the 4th fastest time of 1:48.85 but unfortunately suffered a DQ in their finials heat.
