JEFFERSONVILLE, NY — The old story of a giant champion versus a mere mortal was replayed on Wednesday afternoon, April 3.

Instead of the Valley of Elah, it played out as a track and field meet between Sullivan West and Eldred at the home team’s community athletic complex, within a stone’s throw of biblical proportions to the district’s historic Georgian-style building constructed in 1939.

Sullivan West fielded a juggernaut of a team, comprised of a total of 80 boys and girls, while Fallsburg listed a total of 17 on their combined roster for the event.

While by sheer force of numbers and a lot of talent, the final team score (Sullivan West 158, Fallsburg 19) wasn’t really in doubt. The visitors did well in the final analysis, placing in several of the running and field events: 6/12 in boys' and 7/12 in girls'.

The most hotly contested races pitted Sullivan West’s Bryce Maopolski against his team mate Will Siegel, and three events showcased their abilities as track athletes: in the 1600 meter race, Sigel edged Maopolski by a razor slim 4:9.8 to 4:49.9; in the 800 meter, Siegel posted 2:15 to Maopolski’s 2:24; and in the 3200 meter, Maopolski dominated 10:55 to 11:50.
