Henderson Invitational - Boys' Field Preview
One of the ay's best matchups will come in the javelin as LaSalle's Noah Walker (PA#2) will go up against Warwick's Eric Garner. Walker has seen a massive improvement this season, capped off with a third place finish at the Penn Relays, where he took third overall with a PR of 201-6. Garner, an AAU national champ last summer, threw a PA#4 195-8 to win at Millersville last week. Expect a good matchup between these two, who should figure into the state title conversation later this month.
In the discus, Kennett's Alec Sheehan, currently PA#9, is the top seed, but Rustin's Edem Asamoa and Connor Cummings will be looking to for the upset here. Those three, along with LaSalle's Walker are also entered in the shot put.

The pole vault will bring together some of District 1's best. Kennett's Xavier Feliciano will face off with Rustin's Richard Iovanisci and Charles Dever. Expect some good jumps what figures to be a tight competition.
LaSalle's Alex Sislo will look to have a big day. Sislo is the top seed in the long jump, but he'll face a good challenge from Dock's Austin Kratz, who you'll see in the sprints as well. Sislo and his teammate Jonathon Squadrito are among the top seeds in the high jump.
