There was another record setting weekend this past week for the Patchogue-Medford School District. The High School indoor boys track and field standouts Evan Fraser and Colin Jennings broke three long-standing school records, marking an exciting moment for the program during the winter season.
Fraser delivered an outstanding performance, setting a new school record in the 200 meters with a time of 22.73 seconds. He followed that effort by rewriting the record books again in the 400 meters, clocking a blazing 52.31. His speed and consistency across multiple sprint events have made him one of the top performers for Patchogue-Medford this season and a key contributor to the team’s overall success.
Jennings also etched his name into school history by setting a new record in the 800 meters with a time of 2:04.48. Known for his strong finishing kick and steady pace, Jennings’ performance highlights the strength of the program’s middle-distance runners and reflects the hard work he has put in throughout the offseason and early meets.
These achievements come just two weeks after a historic day for the program at the Nike Track and Field Center at The Armory in New York City. During that meet, Fraser had already set a school record in the 300 meters with an impressive time of 35.38 seconds, further showcasing his versatility and elite speed.
That same day, Jeremiah Newsome added to the program’s success by breaking the school record in the weight throw with a mark of 47 feet, 9.25 inches. Together, these performances represent a remarkable stretch for Patchogue-Medford indoor track and field.
With multiple records falling in such a short span, the Raiders continue to demonstrate growth, depth, and promise as the season progresses toward league championships and postseason competition.
