SPIRE HS Showcase

Shaler Area's Brianna Schwartz set a Pennsylvania All Time State Record out in Ohio! The junior won the 1600 meter run with a national leading 4:42.10, which converts to a 4:43.74 full mile, now US#3! That performance breaks the 2012 record set by Homer Center's Angel Piccirillo at the indoor state meet (4:44.20)! Schwartz also added a 2nd place finish in the 800 meter run with a US#3 time of 2:10.77!

Brianna Schwartz - New PA All-Time 1600/Mile Record

MEET SUMMARY BY PHIL GROVE

Brianna Schwartz’s state record might have been the highlight, but it was not the only top performance by Keystone state athletes at the SPIRE Institute.

In the boys’ 3,200 meters, Fox Chapel Area’s Colin Martin also was matched against top competition in Ohio’s Nick Elswick, a 2012 Foot Locker Finalist and 9:00.43 performer. Like Schwartz, Martin also responded with a PR.

“SPIRE is an amazing facility, their track is beautiful and the competition is always great,” said Martin, who brought a 9:14.73 best into Saturday. “The race started off pretty well, we got out fast, which was perfect.”

Taking the lead when the pace started to lag, Martin was in front for about 1,000 meters before Ryan Robinson of Michigan moved into first with 1,200 left. Hoping “to break the field” with about 700 to go, Martin regained the lead and was never headed, winning a battle of Big Ten recruits with the future Wolverine’s US#7 9:13.95 turning back the 9:17.19 by Elswick, an Ohio State signee, as the first seven finishers broke 9:30.

“I was pleased with the time and how I handled things tactic-wise,” the winner said.

In the boys’ shot put, Max Adams of Hempfield Area finished second with a best of 57 feet, 1 inch.

In the girls’ competition, Hempfield’s Maddie Holmberg won the long jump at 18-4.75 and was fourth in the 60 hurdles in 8.95, while teammate Jasmine Jones was sixth in the 60 dash in 7.92 and seventh in the 200 at 25.54 to improve her PA#6 time. Another Hempfield standout – Bridget Guy – won the pole vault at 12-0 as the top six cleared 11-6.

Mary Malone of North Hills moved to PA#2 with a runner-up effort in the 3,200 run. Her 10:57.50 clocking followed the US#2 10:26.95 by Michigan’s Audrey Belf.

Hempfield’s 4x400 relay ran a PA#6 4:06.09, while Villa Maria is also Pennsylvania’s sixth best in the 4x800 relay after winning in 9:33.69.
