Discussion

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Section VII contingent has new look

State indoor meet new experience for many Section VII athletes



PLATTSBURGH — There will be a lot of new faces representing Section VII at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Indoor Track & Field Championships in two weeks.

Of the 50 athletes who qualified for the March 6 meet at Cornell University, only 14 have experienced the degree of competition at the indoor meet. Unlike the state outdoor meet where there are separate divisions for large and small schools, the indoor championships is one size fits all.

Last year, for instance, Seton Catholic's Genna Hartung, who has since gone on to Cornell University, was the lone Section VII runner to place at the state indoor meet and she needed to clip 18 seconds off her previous best to come in sixth in the 3,000 meters.

Two-time state cross-country champion Michael Champagne of Seton Catholic looks to be the section's best hope this March. He has campaigned outside of the area this winter and could be looking at a top-10 finish in the 3,200 meters.

Once again, Saranac will send the biggest delegation to the state meet. The Chiefs, who captured the Section VII team title for the girls and came in second in the boys' meet, qualified 15 Saturday night at the Plattsburgh State Field House. That's up from the 11 they sent last year, which was also the high for 2009.

Peru will have 11 boys and girls at the sate meet while Seton Catholic has eight athletes eligible and Beekmantown, six. Ticonderoga will send five, AuSable Valley and Saranac Lake, two each, and Plattsburgh High, one.

A number of athletes qualified in two events: Seton Catholic's Ryan Barcomb, Anna Rabideau, Rhea Breyette and Alexa Cosgro.; Ian Tavano, Rachel Danis and Megan Black; Adam Shearer, Brendan Courneene and Korinne Stay of Beekmantown; Robbie Bailey, Alexandra Farrington, Katie McIntosh and Melissa Whyman of Saranac; Jonathyn Granger of Ticonderoga; Austin Davis of AuSable Valley and Vanessa Salamy of Saranac Lake.
