With all due respect to athletes you have covered in your April 17 edition, I feel you have made a tremendous oversight that needs to be brought to your attention. Junior Track Captain Corey Peterman recently broke the school record in javelin, qualified for ECACs and Nationals and proceeded to capture the Empire 8 athlete of the week title 2 consecutive weeks in a row and has received zero attention from the Ithaca. He does all this and gets nothing? He’s having the best season of his athletic career and its going completely unnoticed by his own school. I have to say the paper has really slighted him with this oversight. Honestly, in all seriousness, how could the school paper completely overlook his recent performances and record setting throw? Corey Peterman makes history for the school and it goes completely ignored, I find this to be absolutely in excusable. I have to say as much as I enjoyed reading about our other athletes’ fine performances, I feel when someone proceeds to demolish a school record, qualify to compete on a national level and is honored twice by his conference for his performances, they just might be deserving of a hint of acknowledgement by his own school paper. If breaking a school record doesn’t get an athlete in the paper, what does?
