The NYSPHSAA State Track and Field Championships were held at Union Endicott High School on June 9-10. Lansing sent eight athletes to compete against the best in the state.
Senior Emily Gallagher and junior Miya Kuramoto entered the competition ranked among the top seeds in the state, with Gallagher returning to the outdoor state meet as defending division 2 champion. Both athletes competed in pole vault and placed in the indoor state meet in March and had their eyes on top podium finishes at Union Endicott. In the end, the teammates were the only two left standing in the public school competition as they each cleared 12'3", Kuramoto doing so after a pole breaking during an earlier attempt. Gallagher then went on secure the overall pole vault championship title and set a new section IV and school record with a vault of 12'10". Gallagher won both the NYSPHSAA and Federation title with the vault. Kuramoto was second in NYSPHSAA Division 2 and third in Federation placing.
