4/27 - Surprise! Sheena Gordon wins four events

Erie McDowell Invitational

Surprise! Sheena Gordon wins four events. And all four were among the best in the country. Her biggest improvement on the season at this meet came in the Long Jump, when she went 18-11. She passed 40', going 41-01 in the Triple Jump. Her High Jump didn't beat her season best, but 5-09 will win a lot of meets. And of course with that leaping ability, running the 100 Hurdles in 14.54 comes quite naturally. Jessica Perry of Peters Township hit a nice race, taking the 3200 in 10:53.50, and taking the 1600 in a fast 5:05.10. Dan Mazzocco didn't win four, but his 1600-3200 double was equally impressive as Gordon's performance. His 9:15.67 and 4:17.57 show him to be rounding into shape, and gaining strength. Andy Weilacher of Eisenhower continued his comeback, finiishing 7th in 9:49.1. Mount Lebanon may be one of the few teams to push North Penn at States. Their 7:57.54 came without challenge. And Shawn Culligan of Bradford captured the 110 Hurdles in 14.65, and the 300 Hurdles in 39.17.
