With two weeks left to go before the state meet deadline, the PTXC Indoor State Qualifying cutoff list, despite some big changes, had many of the events stay put or improve slightly.
The biggest improvement once again was the girls 3000 meter run. After Brianna Schwartz, Kelsey Potts, and Marianne Abdalah all broke 11 minutes for 3200 meters yesterday at Youngstown State, the cut off has dipped under 10:30. For those who will be trying to make the 3000, you'll have to break into the US top 60 in order to assure a berth in the state meet!
The girls 4x800 meter relay went down by nearly five seconds, nearing the 9:50 mark on a banked track. The girls mile is at the 5:16 mark, nearly 8 seconds beneath the PTFCA guideline.
Only three girls events haven't reached the deadline, with the 4x4 being the farthest away from that achievement.
The boys list added on to their number of events that have broken the PTFCA guideline to five, adding the 800, the mile, and the triple jump to the list. The boys 4x8 and the 3000 have become the toughest standards to hit on the boys side with two weeks remaining.
Coming up this week will be the Carnival, the Philadelphia Catholic League Champs, TSTCA #3 and the SPIRE Showcase. The Carnival alone has averaged 150 state guideline performances in the past four years. Should that trend continue, that meet alone should blow up this list once again.
The events that have surpassed the state guideline are highlighted in green.
