Some kids stick out to Lisbon assistant track coach Doug Sautter in the opening days of track practice every year. Kiana Goldberg, a star in middle school track two years ago, did just that.
“As the jumping coach, I see some kids and I say, ‘Oh, they’re springy,’ and she is definitely springy,” Sautter said.

LISBON Mt. Abram’s Jeff Warnock first got into running by practicing on his own, his primary objective to be better than his friends during middle school recess football games.
Little did the now-sophomore know that his scrimmage football practice (there was no organized football team in middle school for Warnock to play on) would turn into a passion for running. On Tuesday, Warnock ran to wins in the 4×800-meter relay (10:34.77) and the 800-meter run (2:26.85) and tallied runner-up finishes in the 1,600-meter run and the 4×400-meter relay.
