In the finals of the 100m Hurdles, Sashauna Stewart of Weaver set a meet record of 14.75 to better the time set last year by Samantha Kelly of Simsbury.

In the Girls 300m Hurdles, Clervine Sanon of Weaver established a new meet record of 44.75 to break the 1995 time of 44.92 set by Tynisha Teal of Prince Tech.

Irv Black Invite - Close Competition Overshadows Poor Weather ...
(Apr 22, 2006) In a typical reversal of early New England weather, rain and cold hampered many of those competing at the final session of the 2nd Annual Irv Black High School Invitational held at the Trinity College Track facility on Saturday. In a complete reversal from the sunny and warm weather at the meet on Friday, athletes not only had to contend with each other but the elements as well. In the first finals of the day, Everett Butler of Windsor and Chelsea Jubrey of Rockville claimed 100m Dash victories. In the 2000m Steeplchase, senior Kelsey LeBuffe of Wm Hall led all runners over the barriers for a win in 7:28.85. The 4x100m relays top places were won the Bloomfield Girls and the Wethersfield Boys teams. The Boys 1600m wasn't decided until the finish photo was read as Mike McSherry of Amity edged Josh Robertson of NFA by a scant 1-hundreth of a second, 4:33.95 to 4:33.96. Jamie Olson of Glastonbury was the clear victor in the Girls 1600m in 5:12:38. In the always tough 400m race, Corey Mosley of Amity (50.70) and Kate Backel of Conard (59.31) emerged with gold medals. Chris Bogie of Darien captured both the Boys 110 and 400m Hurdle races. The 800m always provides excitement and the boys and girls races were closely contested. The Boys 800m finish was also a photo finish as RJ Simeone of Farmington edged Marsid Tushe of Wethersfield, 2:00.62 to 2:00.67. In the Girls 800m race, Emma Perron of Conard had a little more space at the finish to edge Danielle Loughrey of Suffield, 2:20.86 to 2:22.56. In the Boys 200m Dash, Tyler O'Brien of Rocky Hill won in 22:52 while Bloomfield swept 1-2 with Stacey-Ann Smith and Catherine Milledge. Alasia Griebel of Bristol Central ran another solid effort of 11:22.14 in the 3200m Run for the victory. The Wethersfield Boys team also took the 4x400m relay while Bloomfield battled Conard to take the Girls 4x400m Relay in 4:07.76 to 4:09.60. In the soggy and slippery field events, winners from Friday also came back to take top spots as Ashley Carbray of Bloomfield won the Girls Triple Jump, Leanne Crockett of Manchester took first in the Discus Throw, Justin Wilson of Windsor leaped to first in the Triple Jump and Damian Silverstrim of Amity tossed the Shot 52-11 for his second victory of the weekend.
