The 4x800 is picking up pace, as North Penn posted a PA#2 time. Brandon Turner, North Penn, became the 3rd PA athlete over 44\' in the Triple Jump. Andre Burton took the 55, and two guys broke 8 seconds in the 55 Hurdles. More...

Three of PA\'s best 400m guys offered a possible preview of a hot 400 final at States this year, with three breaking 51 seconds. Coatesville\'s Clarence Smith busted a big triple jump. Those performances, plus the girls 60H, 60m, and 400 led five US#1 performances for the meet. The freshman girls continue to shine in the early going in PA.

Four guys bust 50 in a very hot 400, lead by William Tennent\'s Andre Burton in 48.3. Kervin Michaud, Pennsbury, was credited with the same time; while Reggie Carter, Bensalem, 48.8, and Cowin Mills, Abington, 48.9, rounded out the lightning round in 3rd and 4th. More...

There were meet records from all over PA - Drexel Hill, Mechanicsburg, Philly - plus a big one from a Florida transfer, at the 20th PA Track Classic at Plymouth-Whitemarsh. Upper Darby senior Jannea Bridgeford is gaining confidence (along with records and wins) as she cruises through her senior season. Bridgeford was named the track athlete of the meet with two win, a meet record 24.34 in the 200 and an 11.87 in the 100. Shawn Smith came into the Philly area and ran away with two wins and a second. His 10.99 and 22.30 were good enough for the 100 and 200 win, and he cleared 20-10 for 2nd in the Long Jump.
