Both teams came into the 2nd day of the two-day snow-delayed, multi-venue Philadelphia Catholic League Championships confident they could control their own destinies. And for the most part, everything went as planned for the West Catholic girls and Cardinal O\'Hara boys. The Burrs won their 3rd consecutive title, while the Lions of O\'Hara captured their sixth straight. Both teams utilized their talent in a measured way to gain maximum points.
The PCL Championships, postponed by the major snowstorm on February 12th, have been rescheduled and moved from Lehigh to Haverford College. Most events will take place on Monday, March 6 beginning at 3pm. The Long Jump, Triple Jump and Pole Vault competitions will take place at Widener College on Sunday March 5 at 2pm
Because of a heavy snow warning for Southeastern PA and the Lehigh Valley, the 2006 PCL (Philadelphia Catholic League) Championships, scheduled for Sunday, February 12 at Lehigh University, has been postponed. A make-up date will be announced later this week.
Weekend Highlights:On Monday 2/6, Upper Darby\'s Rob McNally posted a PA-leading 1:55.9 at the Armory in NY. On Wednesday, Penn Trafford\'s Diana Filtz runs a PA#3 10:20.9 3000. The top three Hempfield throwers had great nights. Despite the threat of snow on Saturday, nearly 80 schools of the registered 115 descended on Lehigh for the first of a series of what are annually PA\'s best indoor meets. Fans were not disappointed, as two throwers known as Laughlin and Shump, one from the west and one from the east, grabbed the 1st and 3rd spots on the national charts, while two others took over the #2 spots in their events. And there was more. Much more...like the meet record in the 60 Hurdles and LJ win in an action-packed \'gotta compete and leave\' hour by Methacton\'s Ryann Krais... or the two come-from-behind relay wins by Easton\'s Chanelle Price (in PennTrackXC.com photo) to go with her US#2 in the 800... Plus double wins by Whitney Matthews of Mercersburg Academy at the MAPL Champs... PTFCA CARNIVAL SELECT PIX, RACE SUMMARY AND PHOTO GALLERY NOW POSTED.
