I would like to give a personal thanks to those who read the RaiderReport, those who contribute to it and the athletes that I have had the enjoyment of writing about. Over two years I have had many mornings writing articles and posting what Coaches contribute and have enjoyed my time both as an athlete and writing about my peers who will be missed.

We are happy to announce that the Girls Varsity Track and Field team has achieved Scholar Athlete Team status.  The following 25 female Track and Field student-athletes have maintained a 90+ average during their spring athletic competitive season: Megan Austen, Arlene Boruchowitz, Desiree Cochran, Sarah Danner, Shannon Glanton, Ali Grunder, Blythe Gurche, Dezra Hamilton, Marina Howarth, Katie McMillen, Sophia Melvin, Elly Moore, Shauna Murray, Maris Plymale, Maya Puleo, Nicole Rossi, Liz Seamon, Katlin Shippy, Maura Slocum, Emily Stranger, Makenzi Swartwood, Jordan Trudell, Abby VanSoest, Brianna VanSoest, Maddie White.  Our top 12 average, which will be submitted to NY State is… 96.83!!

On top of their excellent academic standing, these girls also found time to participate in NYSMAA & Musical Theater Productions, serve as youth track coaches to our elementary students and countless other school activities.  They also continued their athletic winning ways by repeating as  IAC Large School North, Overall IAC Large School and Sectional IV Class “C” Team Championship.    Several School Records fell during the season and Sarah Danner even found time to run a Marathon this past weekend.  A dozen girls have qualified to compete at the Section IV State Qualifier meet on Thursday to see if they can “punch a ticket” to the NY State Championships.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff that supported their endeavors on and off the field.

Tennis Record: 9-1

The Tennis Team finished the year 9-1 and medaled in every event of the IAC Championship Tennis Tournament held annually at SUNY Cortland.

IAC Medalists:

1st Singles – Charlie Woodward	2nd Place
2nd Singles- Alec Bartishevich	1st Place
3rd Singles- David Puglisi	2nd Place
4th Singles- Caitlin Crossett	3rd Place
1st Doubles- JT Swatz/ Kevin VanDelden	1st Place
2nd Doubles- Shelby Hallman/ Brian McCann	3rd Place

4th Doubles (Exhibition)- Natalie Goodell/Josiah Peck	2nd Place

At the Section IV Matches held at Southern Cayuga Caitlin Crossett and David Puglisi both advanced in the first round of the singles portion losing tough matches to the eventual champions. The doubles team of Kevin VanDelden / JT Swartz and Charlie Woodward and Alec Bartishevich both made it to the final rounds of the sectional tournament. Kevin VanDelden / JT Swartz lost in a tough two setter vs. Lansing and Charlie Woodward and Alec Bartishevich advanced over a home court Southern Cayuga team. Charlie and Alec advanced to the Section IV Class C/D East versus West Playoff.

The Class C/D East versus West Tennis Playoff is held at the Binghamton Tennis Center located next to the equestrian center and is a beautiful setting for the sectional playoffs. Charlie and Alec lost the first match to the eventual champions from Seton Central Catholic Schools. Yet they bounced back  defeating a #1 seeded Walton team to make it to the C3 vs. A3 challenge match to get into the state qualifiers.  The A3 team we faced, the Parvanovich brothers, are from the combined Elmira School District. Charlie and Alec gave them everything they could handle eventually succumbing to Elmira 6-4, 3-6, 3-6. It was an intense, highly charged match, full of high caliber tennis play and amazing shots on both sides of the net! We wish the rest of the teams good luck at the Tennis State Qualifiers.

Here is to a GREAT SEASON Tennis Team and to next year’s adventures!

    Girls track overwhelms Whitney Point and Marathon and Clinches the IAC Large School North Division Title!

    The Girls Track and Field team beat Whitney Point 103-37 to Clinch the IAC Large School North Division Title.  They also beat non division opponent 93-44.

     Even without 12 Juniors who were taking an SAT prep class the Lady Raiders dominated both teams with stellar performances from many athletes.  Many younger athletes had to “step up” with so many other girls being out!  Kourtney Miller and Liz Seamon both set personal bests in the Pole Vault.  Kourtney tied the school record in the pole vault at 9’.  Maris Plymale, Nicole Rossi and Kayla Prochnow jumped their season best to sweep the top three spots in the High Jump and Kayla’s jump of 5’1” is one of the best in the section. Ali Grunder showed her dominance of the sprint events taking first in the 100, 200 and 400 meter runs. Emily Stranger emerged as another threat in the 400m run as she took 2^nd overall and then anchored the 4x400 team!  Welcome to the “big time” Emily!  Sarah Danner keeps on rolling by her sweep of the distance events, taking first in the 1500 and 3000 (all after an 18 mile run on Sunday!!).  Abby VanSoest took 2^nd in the 1500 with a new PR.  Desiree Cochran was on track to get a personal best and win the 400 hurdles when she fell over hurdle #7 but rebounded nicely to take 2^nd!  Danielle Peck won the 800m run easily and filled in on the 4x100 relay which bested the Whitney Point team.  Sydney Hayward was the Raider’s top Thrower in the Shot and the Discus. Blythe Gurche was our top jumper in the Long and Triple.

    Nice Job Ladies and congrats on the IAC Large School North Division Title!

Trumansburg Athletics’ Winter Sports Season started a little shaky but finished with a bang. We are most proud of winning the overall IAC Sportsmanship Award for North Large Schools for the Winter Season 2010-2011. Boys and Girls basketball finished third in their respective divisions in sportsmanship voting. Cheerleading finished 3^rd and Wrestling finished 5^th in sportsmanship voting. And the Boys and Girls Indoor Track team finished #1 in sportsmanship voting for their respective divisions. Congratulations to our Sports Programs for their sportsmanship and dedication to their programs integrity.

The Boys Basketball Season finished with a record of 7-11 and went to Sectional play as a #9 seed and beat the #8 seed Chenango Forks (5-11) in the first round of play. They lost to a tough Seton Catholic (15-1) team seeded #1 in the Section IV Boys Basketball Class “B” bracket . Alec Bartishevich was named to the 1^st team IAC all-stars and Letty McFall, Riley Edmonds and Mark Burchell were named to the 2^nd team IAC all-star teams.   

The Girls Basketball team finished with a record of 7 – 10 and went to Sectional play as a #11 seed and lost to the #6 seed Windsor (8-9). All-Stars to be announced.

Both the Boys and Girls Indoor Track & Field teams are Section IV Champions …AGAIN!  Both teams defended their sectional championships in impressive fashion outdistancing the competition in dominating wins!

 The Girls’ Track team won their 4^th sectional championship in 5 years on Saturday night at Barton Hall.  The Lady Raiders scored an impressive 150 points (72 more than runner up Chenango Forks).  Shauna Murray and Kayla Prochnow were triple winners.  Shauna won the Long Jump & Triple Jump  and then came back to win the 300m in a dramatic finish.  Kayla calmly dispatched all foes in the 55m dash and High Jump and then came back to anchor the 4x200 relay team.

The Boys’ Track team successfully defended their Section IV Class Championship title outdistancing the second place Lansing Bobcats by over 70 points.  On the way to amassing a total of 133 points to earn their 4^th consecutive championship, the boys set many new personal bests as sixteen Blue Raiders scored points in a truly collaborative team effort.

Abel Stanton and Russ Limber on the varsity wrestling team traveled to Tioga to take part in the Class C Section IV Tournament.  Abel  placed 4th in the 103lb weight class and qualified for the Section Four Championships at Broome County Arena where he lost in the opening rounds.

The Cheerleading Team was equally successful in getting us “cheered up” for all games. They placed 5^th in the IAC Team Competition and made incredible strides this year to the success of the program.

What a great and successful season to all of Trumansburg’s Winter Sports Teams. Congratulations and thank you to all of Trumansburg student- athletes, coaches, teachers, parents, and fans on such a successful season!

    The Blue Raiders opened their season with a loss to Lansing by the score of 9-3. Brian Sheridan had Trumansburg’s only hit with a 3^rd inning double. The team had some difficulty adjusting to being outdoors after a very wet and cold preseason. They are hoping to wake up the bats and gloves soon as the IAC North Large division is a tough one. Next up is Dryden!

-Coach Voorhees

NOTE: Game at Dryden today, April 1st is cancelled. No April Fools joke.
