HS Track Takes League 6 Championship, Tops in Many NY State Rankings

Congratulations to Coach Reynolds Hawkins and members of the Amityville Memorial High School (AMHS) Boys Spring Track team, who recently won the League 6 title. This is the 14th League Championship for Coach Hawkins in his 17 years of coaching the team. Last year he reached a major milestone, winning his 100th career meet. His record at Amityville currently stands at 110-7-1.

This past weekend the AMHS Boys Track team participated in the Loucks Invitational Track Meet in White Plains, NY, a premier competition attended by schools from throughout the country. AMHS’s Corey Carter won the Long Jump with a leap of 22-7 ½ and placed 2nd in the Triple Jump with a score of 46-7 ¾. Both jumps place 2nd overall in Amityville history. Corey is currently ranked 5th in New York State in the Long Jump and 2nd in the state in the Triple Jump.

AMHS’s 4x100 Relay team of Kaashief Morgan, Andre McDonald, Vincent Jackson and Corey Carter is also ranked #1 in Class B in New York State. The AMHS Sprint Medley Relay team is ranked # 1 in Class B in NY State, as well.

Additionally, Vincent Jackson is currently ranked 10th out of all junior 400-meter runners in the state.

Their season continues with county and state competitions in the weeks to come. Best of luck!
