The Larry Simmons Invitational 2006

Weekend Highlights: The morning buzz was palpable as the first races got underway at the 80th Shippensburg University HS Invitational. The crowd leaned over the edge of the track to attempt to get an early view of the athlete who was coming their way. They had never seen this before. And they weren\'t going to miss a second. Even with all these athletes in attendance, this was a moment they were going to capture in their cameras, but more importantly, in their memories, to savor and to replay at will. At the Freddie Hendricks Track Festival in Maryland, Simon Gratz\'s boys and the West Catholic girls made a mark. At the Don Seltzer Relays at Exeter HS, the North Penn girls won all but two of the 15 contested relays, taking seven of eight on the track and six of seven in the field. The vets started to show that the time is fast approaching to demonstrate that they have been putting in the work. At the Bristol Knights of Columbus Invitational at Holy Ghost Prep, Bensalem\'s Reggie Carter pulled off the 200-400 double in impressive fashion. Senior Keith Capecci of Council Rock North soloed to a fast 3200 win. His teammate, Allison Sikora, ran a strong time for the same distance. William Tennent\'s Kayla Hennesss won the 100 and 300 Hurdles. Bishop McDevitt\'s Carey Smith pulled off the same double. His teammate, Jason Rebuck won the Shot Put and the Discus. Earlier in the week at the Larry Simmons Invitational at Penncrest, Penncrest\'s Karen Shump was back at it, setting season bests in the Discus and Shot Put. That was Wednesday. On Thursday at the 1st Warrior Invitational at West Chester Henderson, Conestoga\'s Cameron Wright captured two sprint wins.
