Non-HyTek meets will have to wait until we have time. Look for new meet highlights and results through Monday, then it's the majority of the PIAA District meets. Editor's Note: Over 40 League and Conference meets this week all around the state. Thanks to Hannah Granger, Aris Polites, Chris Roe and Mike Schmittlein, we FINISHED entering last week's elite marks from 22 meets into the rankings (Non-HyTek/RaceTab meets have to be entered by hand). And we are doing best to keep up this week. All HyTek meets are being processed for rankings within a few hours of being received. I went to the District 12 AAA track finals at Northeast HS on Friday. I will then be on the road to the District 6 AA meet in Altoona on Tuesday, back home to keep up with Districts coverage, and then to District 3 on Friday and District 1 on Saturday. Wow, did this season go fast! Not as fast as Brandon and Ryann and Chanelle and Paul... but fast, nonetheless.
