(This drill took place on June 26th at the Hagerman track. Full results of the drill can found at www.NYSDrillTeams.com)
On a very hot and sunny day the Juniors were back in action in Hagerman. At the last drill it was very close between the top six teams with only five points separating them. This drill would also be a very close one. Thirteen teams were in attendance, but still no Farmingville or Massapequa.
Junior ladder started off the same as the first two drills with C.I. taking first place and five points with a new time of the year with a 3.19.
Intermediate Ladder was next and that was won by Lindenhurst with a 4.31. The climber from Islip Terrace, who won the contest last week, slipped and did not place in the event.
Individual ladder was next and that contest was won by Bay Shore with a new time of the year with a 4.50. In second was Lindenhurst with a time of 4.55.
Cart Ladder was won by Islip who broke their team record and set a new time of the year with an 8.37. Heading into Hoses, the top five teams were Lindenhurst (12 pts.), Bay Shore (11 pts.), Islip (10 pts.), Central Islip (9 pts.) and the host of the drill, Hagerman (7 pts.)
After a short water test the water was set and we were ready to start the hose contests. In Junior Cart Hose, Lindenhurst took first place with yet another time of the year, running a 12.43.
Cart Hose was next and after Islip, Bay Shore, and Islip Terrace all blew at the nozzle, it was Central Islip running an 11.12 taking first place and five points in the contest.
In Cart Hose Replacement, we saw another time of the year set by Islip. Their time of 20.76 also broke the team record. Hot on their heels in second place was Bay Shore with a 20.90.
In Junior Efficiency Replacement, Bay Shore won the contest for the second drill in a row with a 24.22. This would also be the last points Bay Shore would score in this tournament.
The WYE contest was up next and was won by Islip with a 26.74 making it a very close drill heading into the final event. The top five teams were separated by only three points so Efficiency was going to be very interesting to watch.
Central Islip, who had 23 points, missed at the hydrant and ended up running a 16.01 which failed to get them any points in the event. Islip was next and there nozzle-man washed the target and they too failed to score any points, leaving them with the 22 points they started the contest with. The next team in the mix was Bay Shore, but their hydrant-man missed and they also received no points and ended the day tied with Islip. Lindenhurst was up next and they ran an 11.05 which was good enough for fourth place. Hagerman was last out of the teams that had a shot to win and they ran a 10.59 and got second place in the contest. Islip Terrace won the contest with a 10.48 giving them first place and 5 points.
At the end of the day, there was a tie for first place with 27 points between Lindenhurst and Hagerman. In third was Central Islip with 23 points. We had another tie with fourth place going to Islip and Bay Shore who each had 22 points.
The Juniors will be back in action on July 10th at Central Islip track hosted by Bay Shore. The tournament begins at 11:00 AM. We hope to see a great crowd on hand to watch the future of FD Racing.
