STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.— Across two days of competition among the best track and field athletes in the state, eight borough natives found themselves atop the podium as part of the top eight finishers in their respective events, highlighted by Notre Dame Academy’s Coryn Nestor-Hubert finishing as the silver medalist in the 300 meters.
Coming off her win at the Catholic State Championships in a time of 39.71 seconds, Nestor-Hubert lowered that mark even further, blazing to a 39.51 to improve upon her already standing second-best time ever among borough athletes in the event and claim second place while racing the best sprinters in the state.
“It feels great because I know I worked really hard for this. We’ve been working on my start, and I think I showed that improvement today,” the Gators senior said after the race.
Nestor-Hubert’s coach, Stephen McLean, also praised his athlete’s work ethic, saying that “She did a lot of hard work over the fall and the first part of the winter, so it was nice to see her come out here and put all the work together. Getting second place is a big thing, especially with the stakes.”…
