WPIAL AA/AAA Northern/Southern Qualifiers 2002

The WPIAL holds qualifiers for their district championships nine days in advance, with the top six in an event automatically moving on. There are three AAA qualifiers (North, Central, South), and two AA qualifiers (North, South). Most top athletes do their best simply to remain healthy, without expending too much effort. That's hard to imagine with an 800 time of 1:53.55 in the AAA Southern meet, but after his 1:50 two weeks ago, Sam Bair is simply in a class by himself. He also went 4:25 for a relaxed 1600 qualifier.
