The rules placed on winter sports has caused us to move outdoors for everything. The TFCAofGP, our indoor association, has managed to acquire the Glen Mills School 200 meter indoor facility to host meets but Wissahickon has opted out. However, the SOL American Conference will be organizing a series of ‘polar bear’ outdoor meets hopefully,… Read More
As the Association Series season closes, the ‘Champs’ season begins. In the ‘good news/bad news’ department, Christian McC. led all qualifiers into the final with his 8.56 PR. Bad news was his false start in the finals! Arrgh! His time puts him about 16th in the state and he should be safe, as they take… Read More
Staten Island, NYC – 5:45 bus, 1 1/2 hour ride seems like a lot for a Saturday track meet but when you walk into this building, you know why we make the effort. This meet brings out the best in our distance runners and lets the kids compete on a track that they may otherwise… Read More
Getting small victories along the way is how one stays motivated through the season. With meets springing up all over, more and more teams are opting to travel outside the ‘Association’.

The distance guys and pole vaulters fought back the Quakertown throwers to help seal the deal on Saturday as the boys captured their fifth straight SOL American title. With Q-Town shot putters scoring 33 points by sweeping places 1 through 5 and their discus throwers taking the first two spots for 18 points, they felt a sure win coming. But….over… Read More
Last year we handed them a 78 – 72 win on a silver platter by self-destructing. This year we almost did the same but compensated for the ‘let-downs’ with some ‘step-ups’. Liam Davies ended his regular season undefeated at both 110HH and 300IM and kicked off the meet with a win and later, secured the… Read More
