With the way the season was going, you had to figure it was going to come eventually. Well, it all went down on Saturday.
Central Dauphin East took down a nearly 21-year-old all-time state record in the 4x100 meter relay, running 41.10 to take the Class AAA win at the District 3 Championships. That tops the previous record of 41.14, set in 1998 at the PIAA State Championships by Harrisburg.
The quartet of Bryce Baker, David Niang, Stephon Brown, and Shawn Brown executed a picture-perfect race to runaway with the district title and the record.

The relay came close to the record a few occasions, but it all came together on Saturday at Shippensburg. The squad wanted to get the record at districts, so when they return to Ship in a week, the sole focus can be getting the AAA state title, something that is no given in a deep year in the event.
The Central Dauphin East boys, thanks in large part to their deep sprint squad, also earned the AAA team title with 56 points.
