The late start on the indoor season, and a carefully planned meet schedule apparently have given Easton junior Lindsay Regan the fresh legs and competitive edge to chase even more records in the Pole Vault. Her latest is now the PA best state mark of 13-06, topping the 2001 13-02.50 jump by McDowell's Emily Tharpe. The 13-06 also ties the US Junior class record. Chanelle Price, Easton, has to be one of the favorites in the AAA 800 after a solo 2:12.12 district record. Lauretta Dezubay went 5:01.36 and 10:53.03 for 1600 and 3200. Allentown Central Catholic set a district record in the 4x800 with a very quick 9:18.90. Northampton's Tyler McCandless edged Emmaus' Sam Luff in the AAA 3200, 9:13.01-9:13.20.
