Wilks had previously taken the 100 in 11.44, with Cook 2nd in 11.46. Three guys busted 2 in the 800.

Central Dauphin's Ryan Jones was less than .5 back, with CV's Jon Fulginiti 3rd in 1:59.18.

Bixler posted a PR of 9:40.74. Cedar Crest's Pete Habegger long-jumped 23-00.00, easily the top PA performance of the young season. And teammate Tobias Robinson won both hurdles in 15.57 and 41.07.
