PIAA States Preview: Boys' Sprints/Hurdles


AA Boys' 4x400m Relay Preview

Schuylkill Valley has proven its depth all season all over the track and field. The Panthers will look to close things out with a state title in the 4x400-meter relay. SV went 3:23.62 to win the District 3 title over this past weekend. At 3:22.73, SV also owns the fastest AA time in the state this season. It did so by beating out the defending champs from Wyomissing Area.

That matchup will once again be worth watching for. Wyomissing was beat by SV at the county and district championship, but we'll see if things change come Saturday afternoon.

Central Columbia went 3:23.73 to win the District 4 title. That stands as the second fastest time in the state, so look for that group to also contend for the top spot. Riverside (7), Lewisburg Area, Reynolds, Neumann Goretti, and Danville Area are among the other teams with a shot at high finishes in the 4x4.
