This past Saturday was the NYSPHSAA Indoor Track and Field State Championship meet held at Cornell's Barton Hall. Lansing had one athlete compete. Junior Max Rogan competed in the pole vault and medalled with 4th in the State and 6th in the Federation.

En route to his finish, he broke the Lansing Indoor pole vault record that he broke earlier this season two more times on Saturday and posted a best height of 14' 0". This height qualified him for the New Balance National Meet in NYC this coming weekend.

The Lansing bowling season has come to a close, and a very exciting one it was in many ways. This past weekend one of the senior boys ( Trever Rounds ) went back to Midway lanes in Vestal to see if he could earn a spot on the "All Section IV Boys Team".  Going into this compatition I told Trever he would need to roll about 1300 pins for a six game block and the sixth spot had 1321 total pins.

Trever rolled 636 in the morning block then 635 in the afternoon block to finish 17th overall out of 66 boys in this competion. This was a very fine showing from Trever as he stayed in the top pair of lanes in both sections and kept his cool.

The Lansing Boys’ Varsity Swim Team placed 2nd in Class C team scoring to Watkins Glen at the Sectionals Swim Meet at Owego Free Academy (OFA) on February 19, 2011.  This event was for Section 4 Class A, Class B, and Class C swim teams.  The results were:  Watkins Glen 440, Lansing 339, Waverly 290, Chenango Forks 272, Chenango Valley 248, Greene 208, Southern Cayuga 127, and Odessa-Montour 71.

Lansing’s Senior swimmer, Clement Towner, placed First Overall against swimmers from Class A, Class B, and Class C schools in two events: the 200 Freestyle and the 100 Freestyle!  Clement was also the final leg of the first place finishing team in the 400 Freestyle Relay for Class C.  This team also included Joe Koch, Kyle Vandepoel, and Ronan Corgel; the team’s time was 3:31.25.

Both of the the Lansing teams faired well this past weekend at Sectionals held at Midway Lanes in Vestal. Friday was the boys competion and having 18 teams in our division (the largest in section IV)  they finished fourth. Newark Valley was first followed by Watkins Glen, then Hancock as the competion was some of the best I've seen in a while.

Tim Carlsen lead the way fro Lansing with a fine 666 series, followed by Joel Teilelboam. Trever Rounds finished 18th overall in the section and will be going back next weekend to seek at place on the "All Section" Boys teams that will compete at the State level in early March.

Several softball players and parents turned out Monday to show their support for Randy Randall, who was not hired to coach varsity or Junior Varsity softball this year.  Personnel issues are among the few issues the Board Of Education cannot discuss in public meetings, but parents' comments grew heated as it became apparent that there would be no recourse.

"I don't think we're making the right decision," said J.J. Lovejoy, whose daughter is a softball player.  "To remove somebody that's been plugged into this program and to have a community put what they've put into it... I take it personally because my daughter is getting ready to get into that varsity position in the next year or so, and the wheel that's worked is not the wheel any more, and we're going to invest in the unknown.  I don't know why we're fixing something that wasn't broken."

Last Saturday was the IAC Tournament that signals the end of the regular bowling season.  In this tournament  the whole league comes together to bowl.  The Lansing Boys team finished third out of the 11 teams competing.

Waverly was first followed by Newark Valley then the Lansing Boys. The top 14 high series scores were awarded which seen three of these going to Lansing Boys: Tim Carlsen 14th, Trever Rounds 9th and Joel Teitelboum 8th. This was a very fine showing by the Lansing Boys who also had two boys make Second Team All American : Trever Rounds & Troy Hradisky.
