Binghamton's Amiah Brissett, Elmira's Vicky Mordvinova and Delhi's Eleanor Lees were first-place overall finishers in two events apiece at the Section 4 girls track and field state qualifier, held Wednesday and Thursday at Union-Endicott's Ty Cobb Stadium.

The meet included athletes from Division I and Division II schools throughout Section 4.

What's Next

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association Outdoor Track & Field Championships will also be held over two days, with Middletown High School hosting June 9 and 10.

The first-place Division I and Division II finisher in each event qualified for the state meet, along with the next-highest finisher who has met the state standard at any invitational or championship meet during the season. Athletes can also qualify for states by meeting a super standard during the season.
