Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

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.

Lennon, Hebert hit national stage

-- Press-Republican

GREENSBORO, N.C. — After taking home two medals each from the state track and field meet last week, Ticonderoga’s Jay Hebert and Peru’s Dan Lennon will test their talents on a national stage today.

Lennon will race in the boys’ 3,200-meter run at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals, and Hebert is slated to compete in the 110 hurdles.

The meet started Thursday and runs through Saturday on the campus of North Carolina A&T.

Lennon, a senior, won the Division II championship at last weekend’s New York State Track and Field Championships with a time of 9:06.36. He placed second in the Federation.

His best time of the season is 9:00.52, which he clocked May 13 at the Glenn D. Loucks Games in White Plains. He broke his own Section VII record with that performance.

Lennon won the 5,000 at the Indoor Nationals in March, and was 16th in 3,000 at last year’s Outdoor Nationals, finishing in 9:27.

Hebert is coming off of an outstanding performance at the New York State Track and Field Championships. The sophomore crossed the finish line in 14.33 to win the Division II 110 hurdles championship and followed that up with a 14.41 that made him the fastest runner in the Federation race as well.

Hebert holds the Section VII record of 14.07, which he set May 19 at the William F. Eddy Jr. Memorial Track and Field Meet in Schenectady. That’s the fastest time in New York this year and the second-fastest time ever run by a sophomore in New York.
