We are very proud to announce that North junior Anointing Onuoha, is the New York State Championship Long Jump Champion. She earned the honor this past weekend at the NY State Winter Track & Field Championships at Cornell University. Anointing was ranked 5th going into the competition, but a personal best jump of 18’3.25” set a high mark that the other competitors could not beat. After the Long Jump, Anointing went on to finish 3rd in the Triple Jump event, another All-State performance, only 3.25 inches behind the winner.
Anointing is the fifth New York State Track & Field Champion from Valley Stream North.
