The 2017 IAC Track & Field Championships were scheduled to take place last Thursday and Friday afternoon at Trumansburg. Strong storms forced meet officials to cancel competition on day one, resulting in all events being run on Friday evening.
The Lansing girls' team was undeterred by the schedule change and captured the large school championship title with 166 points. Newark Valley was a close runner-up with 157 points, while Waverly took third with 66 points. Lansing was led by strong performances on the track and on the field as evidenced by the numerous IAC All Stars honors awarded to the Bobcats across events (see below). Senior Emily Gallagher was named IAC Girls Field MVP after winning both the long jump and pole vault. Freshman Catie Eisenhut was another double event winner, taking first place in both the 800M and 1500M run as well as being a member of the winning 4x400M relay team. Newark Valley's Courtney McNeil repeated as the IAC Girls Track MVP for her wins in both the 100M and 200M sprints in addition to anchoring the winning 4x100M relay. Odessa-Montour won the girls' small school trophy.
