Nicole Leach broke the PA State Record in the 400 by 1.95 seconds. While you're contemplating the significance of that, it was also the 2nd best 400 of all-time. 52.19 says it all. Leach also took 3rd in the 200 in 24.10. Her 23.91 in the Prelims set a new PA record.
And Cardinal O'Hara ran 10:10.80 in the DMR, which got 3rd at the meet, but was the 7th best all-time. O'Hara's splits were Greg (Little Monster) Thomas, 3:08.7, Jack Braconnier, 49.5, Matt Willard, 1:59.3, and Steve Hallinan, 4:13.0
7:53.74 would get you a win in most 4x800's. It got O'Hara 4th. O'Hara's splits: Steve Hallinan 1:56.4, Greg Thomas 1:59.0, Matt Willard 1:59.7, Jack Braconneir 1:57.7.
Other PA highlights included Mycaiah Clemons of Valley getting 3rd in the 60 Hurdles in 8.71 seconds. Amy Kelly ran a strategic race through the first 3/4's, and then simply went for it all, forcing the pace and running out of steam over the final lap. She finished 6th in 4:55.16.
