The meet with our cross-town rivals marked the first of four duals that will take strategizing, as well as performance, to be successful. UD, Hatboro, Cheltenham and Quakertown each present their own set of challenges. Once again missing key people….this time to the 3-day State FBLA convention (a 53.5 400, a 4:35 mile, a 2:05 4×8 leg), some lingering injuries (a 2:08, and of course, Ahmir Johnson-hurdles and jumps), and a family matter (16.2 HH, 20-0 LJ, 40-0 TJ) which effected our flexibility. Luckley, turns out we didn’t need them this time.

With UD providing FAT (fully automatic timing), Rahsheed and Shamere  took advantage of the tailwind down the homestretch to hit 10.99 and 11.06 respectively (DQS 11.24). Some of our less experienced got in the mix as sophs Terrell Gordon (18-11 LJ) seems to be getting his steps, and Carmen Ostroski navigated his first full flight of hurdles. The vault crew got a sweep and the distance combo of Maiale and Hoyer went 1-2 for 1600/3200.
