12/2 XC WEEK #14-INDOOR WEEK #2 SUMMARY:

An incredible day for the PA's Neely Spence and Carly Seymour, and a day of disappointment for Paul Springer at FOOT LOCKER FINALS. Spence finished 8th and Seymour 9th to take home all-American honors. On Friday at the DVGTCA MEET #2 at Kutztown, Karen Shump was over 47' again in the Shot Put, while North Penn's Stephanie McDougal cleared 11-06 in the Pole Vault. On Saturday at the TFCAGP D1 MEET # 2, Boyertown's Jason Weller posted a very fast 8:39.8 3000 at Lehigh. Glen Mill's Jerell Graver was over 45' in the triple jump. At the TFCAGP D2 MEET #2, Chestnut Hill Academy's Wayne Crawford went 55-01 in the Shot Put.

The story: Neely Spence and Carly Seymour make their first Foot Locker Finals experience a top 10 kind of day. Paul Springer has an off day... but is already looking ahead to indoor, outdoor, and more PRs.


Midway, Seymour (l) and Spence are working together.
