Liberty High School senior, Casey Clearie, broke Liberty's school record in javelin last Monday at the Hurricanes' track and field meet against Bethlehem Catholic and William Allen.

It was Clearie's own record that he broke on his third attempt with a distance of 181-02. Clearie's previous distance was 173, which he threw several meets ago.

"I gave a jump. There was definitely a jump in there. It was a big p.r., by eight feet. I'm sure there was a fist pump. It just felt really great," Clearie said. "I knew it was a far throw, but I thought it was around 178."

Clearie's first two throws were in the 166 range.

"[On the third throw] I drove harder with my legs, I was more focused, and my energy was good," Clearie said.

Clearie plans to try and beat his own record again, but 178 would qualify Clearie for states if he can throw that in the district meet.

"Well, yeah, I'm just going to keep going, push harder, and hopefully hit it in districts and go to states," he said.

Monday's meet earned the Hurricane boys a 112-34 victory over Becahi, and a 119-31 victory over Allen. Beca defeated Allen 78-69.

Liberty's Victor Santiago won the 100 in 11.1, and Josiah Wright won the 200 in 22.8.

Becahi's Andrew Nieves placed first in the 400 in 54.7, and Andrew Shaffer placed first in the 800 in 2:06.6.

Liberty's Will Masemore took first in the 1600 in 4:54, and Jonah George won the 3200 in 11:15.

Sean West was first in the 110 hurdles in 16.4 for Liberty, and John Spirk was first in the 300 hurdles for Beca.

The Hurricanes won the 4x1 with Darius Jones, Kasey Myers, Santiago, and Wright in 45.0, and they also won the 4x4 with Sam Belony, Brendan Reilly, Santiago, and Yasim Jackson in 3:43.

Spirk, William Tucker, Kevin Michels, and Shaffer won the 4x8 in 8:42 for the Hawks.

The high jump was won by Liberty's Izaiah Avent with a height of 5-09, and Jones won the long jump with a distance of 21-03.50, and the triple jump with a distance of 45-02.50.

Also for the Hurricanes, Louie Czaszar won the shot put with a distance of 44-02.00, and Clearie won the javelin.
