The weather heated up and so did our boys. It’s usually May when the hard work starts to pay off and this year was no different. Fifteen all-time best marks where shared by ten different athletes led by Christian McCarry (three PRs on the night). More about him later. Liam Davies’ four years of hard… Read More

I kinda miss the crappy weather…..NOT! A clear but chilly (high of 53-55) day brought out the best in the kids with no less than 26 personal bests on the track and several more in the field. We also got to see some new faces with Archbishop Carrol, Penncrest and Marple-Newtown joining the frey. The… Read More

After a Friday and Saturday summer, right back into winter. When the meet is important, the tough suck it up. I just hoped we’d be tough enough. We were, as usual, missing key personnel with our best jav thrower on a robotics trip, and Carmen Ostroski (41′ TJ, 5’10” HJ, 51.8 split) under the weather. … Read More

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… Read More

Another awesome weather day! 42 degrees and misty rain! (36 and snow for this coming Saturday! Yay!) First meet back after break, along with the conditions, resulted in another ho-hum day performance-wise. Shamere Dunswell’s 100M along with Christian McCarry’s 110HH were really the only bright spots as they were close to their PRs. Everyone else… Read More

With the team STILL short-staffed due to spring break (does this thing ever end??), we went with what we had, giving some big-meet experience to the young ‘uns. We finally got a weather break with sunshine, but temps never really rose to predictions and with the stiff breeze, the hoodies were up and down all… Read More

With spring break depleting both squads (they brought 12, we were missing 50+), it was a chance to see where we need work. And boy, do we need work. Bright spots included the 1600 meters which saw Matt Maiale and Ben Hoyer pace nice early season times of 4:33.7 and 4:34.8. Rahsheed Wright rode the… Read More

And not much good. Things started looking shaky on Wed. when trying to set line-ups for the DMR and 4×8. A few potential participants had other plans for the weekend (?) which scrapped the DMR. A cobbled together 4×8, which already included a recovering Ben Hoyer, was abandoned when Nathan Leung called in sick late… Read More

With the regular season Association meets in the books, both divisions are brought together to get those post-season qualifying marks. After running 3:36 a few weeks ago, and with soph Robert Wilson’s 53.71 putting himself on the squad, on paper we should be able to hit the 4×4 flat track cut-off of 3:33.23. We run… Read More

Throughout the season, when not working on his jumping events, Ahmir Johnson has been running the sprint work-outs with Rahsheed Wright and usually keeping up. That had me thinking ahead to the Penn Relays 4×4 where we put our four best athletes in regardless of their specialty. (Sprinter, hurdler, jumper, distance guy….whom ever gives us… Read More
