Hillside, IL — Full write-up with pictures found at pntrack.com Proviso East Midwest Pirate Classic Saturday, March 25, 2023 WINNERS! This was the second year in a row where we sent a dozen qualifiers to Top Times and still won a legit invitational. So impressive! What a job by coaches Nico Capezio, John Singleton, and Tim Cederblad. Also, our only captain to not attend Top Times had a monster breakout in the triple jump and performed his captain duties perfectly. Congrats Nik Cardillo! And, what an amazing TEAM effort! CZERWINSKI IS THE MAN! Freshman comes from behind to win the 1600 in an amazing race. 4:34.93 is the new Pntrack freshman record. Earlier, it was broken by freshman teammate Aidan Conners in our first indoor meet (4:37.37). MESCIOGLU SHOCKS THE WORLD Crazy improvement for Omer. 2022 30’11” 2023 46’11” FRESHMEN BREAK 4x8 RECORD, AGAIN 8:36 ain’t bad GAVIN HALL THOMAS CZERWINSKI JACOB SCHMAUDERER AIDAN CONNORS Lord knows who many records our freshman d-crew will break this spring! 🔥🔥🔥 CAPTAIN CARDILLO 43’2” Won the triple jump. Now sits at #4 Pntrack All-Time, IL 3A #22 Jordan Gumila 45’10” George Frimpong 43’8” Wallace Thomas 43’6” Nik Cardillo 43’2” RAY WINS AGAIN Vanichtheeranont vaults 12’6”, 1st place. What an amazing indoor season for the guy who vaulted only 7’5” last year. Only Dylan Korzec (14’1” in 2011) and Rick Funk (13’9” in 2011) in Pntrack history have vaulted higher than Ray’s 13’1”. FLOYD SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS Gerald Floyd cleared 6’4” (IL 3A #12) I met Gerald on February 28th. I had no idea that he would high jump 6’4” 25 days later! DAVIS JOINS SUB-10 CLUB Quinn Davis joins Burns, Connors, Tracey, and Czerwinski running under 10:00 in the 3200 in this indoor season. Quinn ran 12 seconds faster than he ran last year in the 3200.
