1/24 - William Penn's Juanita Broaddus sears a decade-old record

 

The heart of the indoor season for the girls erased a decade-old association record in the 200. William Penn's Juanita Broaddus seared to a 25.1, bettering the 25.7 mark set by Chester's Kia Davis in 1993. Teammate Christina Smith edged Sabrina Shaw of Simon Gratz in the 55 Hurdles by .1, going 8.3. St. Hubert's Rachel Papin won the 3000 in 10:36.8. In the relays, it was the William Penn foursome of Broaddus, Kandis Worthington, Knishea Sheard and Smith holding off Upper Darby by 2.2 seconds in 1:44.7 in the 4x200. Perkiomen Valley's Brittany Long, Carol Jefferson, Bridget Walsh and Sarah Roberts posted a 9:40.6 win in the 4x800. In the Triple Jump, Wissahickon's Alex Baptiste lept 36-1-3/4 as Downingtown's Sarah Ensslen went 36-0, the 2nd and 3rd best PA jumps so far.
