The qualifying standards for the 2005 PTFCA Indoor State Championships 2/26 at Penn State University...

Just hours away from the PTFCA Indoor State Championships at Penn State University. Our previews of the competition are now online. Best of luck to all.

There will be a lot of close competiton, but there are several athletes and events with added flair, including Ryan Whiting in the Shot Put, Ryan Fritz and Juan Cave in the High Jump, and Simon Gratz in the 4x200 and 4x400.

You\'ll see a lot of West Catholic stars Nicole Leach and Latavia Thomas. Leach could contribute to 40 points. And in the 60 Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump and High Jump, watch the battle within the battle, as Nicole Smith goes against Erin Hannon and a host of others.

In a stunning display of sheer talent and depth of PA\'s high school track & field athletes, fans of the sport will be talking about this PTFCA Indoor State Championships meet for years. The highlights start with an all-time top ten Shot Put, and then visits virtually every part of the state and every event. In the coming days, we\'ll have 1,000 pix, athlete quotes, and more. Coaches with splits of medalist teams can send that info to don@penntrackxc.com

It was just another day at the office for West Catholic - which mean a fantastic return on their training investment. And Simon Gratz made sure that the target on their backs stated visible. Summary on the sprints, including the 4x200 and 4x400 relays. (Pix coming)

Three photos galleries of the distance, sprint and field events from the 2/26 PTFCA Indoor State Championships @ Penn State University.

Folllowing official review, Lindsey Regan\'s new Indoor State Pole Vault Record really is 13-00.

Please send your individual or team splits for performances that were top eight to don@penntrackxc.com.

The boys\' mile will be talked about years from now. But it shouldn\'t overshadow performances that rank well in PA history, as well as nationally this season.

It\'s an unreal year for the Shot Put in PA. Three other events can be described in the names of two athletes - Smith and Hannon. Juan Cave and Ryan Fritz in rare air. And the pole vault was, shall we say, interesting.

Thanks to those medalists who sent their individual and team splits for both distance and relay races. We\'ll be happy to add more to the page as we receive them. Also, please feel free to indicate a PR, school record, or other milestone about your performance.

The 2005 All State Indoor Track and Field Team was selected by a committee of the PTFCA on 3/9 taking into consideration honors won, quality and consistency of performance and head-to-head competition. Congratulations to all the new All-State athletes.
