Hamilton Stumbles at League Meet
Harriers hampered by injury,illness and inelligiblity
VCP, Tuesday October 14, 2008
Hamilton had planned to cruise to an easy second place finish in the South League IV Championship Meet on Tuesday at Van Cortlandt Park. Instead the Red Shirts finished a disappointing third and were lucky to beat a Children’s Village team that they had dominated all season. The top seven were not anywhere near full strength with the absences of Jamar, Allen and Anish. Despite fine performances by Arnold, a fourth place finish that stopped a Dobbs Ferry sweep, and Russell , who ran a gutsy race and shaved 45 seconds off his PR, the team could not keep up today.
All was not dark however, Arnold and Hashem were named to the All League Team and Russell received Honorarble Mention honors. Also on the girls’ side, Kirstine was honored with an honorable mention to the All League team. Let’s hope the team pick itself up for the Westchester County Championships next week.
