Auston Papay, Sharon has pulled away from the state throwers with a toss of 65\' 2\", US#2. It\'s also a new PA state records, eclipsing the 64-11 throw by Baldwin\'s Ron Semkiw in 1972. Highlands\' Tom Slosky (in pix by Bill Rex) blew away a quality field that included Mike Booth, West Mifflin, and Josiah Leuenberg, West Middlesex, in the boys\' 3000 at the University of Pittsburgh Wednesday night, going 8:49.7. The 4-lane spike-friendly 220 yard oval is fast, and the times showed it. Center\'s Allyn Laughlin took the girls\' Shot with a throw of 41-2. Erica Moody, Oakland Catholic, stepped up to the 400 and won in 59.3. Hickory\'s Andrew Rademacher won the Pole Vault, clearing 15-7. Teammate Eric Sparks was 2nd with a leap of 14-8; matched by Baldwin\'s Ron Walter. Indiana\'s Kristen Morean won the girls PV at 10-6.
