Connetquot Central School District

TRACK: Congratulations to graduating senior Micah Cooper, who set the new school record for the pole vault by vaulting 14’7”, breaking the record of 14’6” set by Thomas Domozych in 2019. Domozych was on hand to watch Cooper break the record and was the first one on the mats to congratulate his former teammate. Cooper is now ranked #1 in Suffolk County, #2 in Suffolk County and #4 in New York State and is undefeated in the pole vault in league III, making him league champion. His goal now is to become division II and Suffolk County champion by season’s end. According to coach Shelby White, “Micah has spread his talents around for the team over his career at Connetquot, scoring in events such as the 100m, 200m, 4x100, high jump as well as the pole vault.” He will attend Holy Family University in the Fall.
