8 Impact Freshmen In Pennsylvania


Kevin Thomas (Haverford School)

What They Have Done So Far: Thomas has had a great start to his season on a Haverford School squad that has been turning heads as a whole this winter. He's proved he's a solid athlete in both the hurdles and the jumps.

Thomas ran a 8.49 in the 60-meter hurdles at TFCAofGP Meet #3 at the end of December. That time puts him at PA#7. Then this past weekend at the Ocean Breeze Freedom Games in New York, Thomas popped a big race, taking second in 7.82, the fastest time in all of PA so far this indoor season. He also jumped 40-10.75 in the triple jump, an overall PA#33 and the best jump by a PA frosh boy.

What's To Come: It looks to be a fairly wide open year in the high hurdles with a number of state title contenders. Thomas can certainly add his name to that list with the start to his indoor season that he's had. He's got a good training group at the Haverford School and we should see plenty more fast times in the hurdles this winter from Thomas.
