Two Goldbacks qualify for state track championships

Posted

Two Goldbacks are going to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association championships.

John Fermpong won the 200-meter dash and Emmanuel Williams qualified in the shot put to earn their tickets to Friday and Saturday’s Division I championship meet at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.

Fermpong finally scored the victory in the 200-meter dash when he outraced previous opponents Cornwall’s MarkSean Montero, who finished right behind him to earn an at-large bid to the state tournament.

Williams threw the shot put 44-7 to earn second but hitting the state qualifier to earn an at-large bid to the state championship meet. His throw was 9 inches shorter than the winning throw by Cornwall’s Matthew Gold.

Beyond their two victories, the Goldbacks did have some misses, as well.

Matthew Worrell was second in the 400-meter dash but couldn’t outrace Cornwall’s Charles Cypress for the state bid.

Jun Rivas fell three inches short in the high jump.
On the girls’ side Sania Kuylen won the 200-meter dash preliminaries but was a close second behind Monroe-Woodbury’s Kaylen Tenemille.

This year will be the first time anyone attends the state championships, which have not been held since 2019. The 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and although the 2021 season was held, the ongoing pandemic caused the state meet to be canceled.
