The past few weeks have come and gone so fast, it’s hard to keep up! So how ’bout a re-cap? Our duals have been close, dropping another to Hatboro 89 – 61 and beating a sprint talented Abington team 83-67 (thanks, field guys!) Prepping for the Penn Relays freshman 4×1 (and since we really don’t… Read More
Lansdale, Pa. – With our first dual meet moved and our inter-squad meet rained out last Saturday, it’s been a month of practices without a competition. We needed this to test our newbies and to see where our returnees stood. Early afternoon showers gave way to sunny skies by 2 o’clock. Medals were hard to… Read More
Rauch Fieldhouse Lehigh – Lehigh has a meet today (Sat), so we were pushed to Friday night. With both divisions competing, we were in for a late one. (Got back to Wiss around midnight…) Some good performances, along with minor improvements, means we’re doing something right. Looking forward to getting the 4×8 to states, (Ruffner… Read More
Four meets are in the books so let’s take a look at what we have. The distance crew is coming along and looks to be the best shot to take a relay team to States. Four guys are returning from sub-2:05 outdoor seasons led by Junior Grayson Ruffner (1:59.23 PR). So far, he’s gone 2:02… Read More
With Isaiah Marc’s injury from Penn Relays on our minds, we/he scratched out of the 100 for safety concerns and out of the 400 for fitness concerns. That left the 200. As the pre-lims approached on Friday afternoon, apparently lightning showed up on someone’s radar (we didn’t see it) and they called off the race,… Read More
If you’ve been following along, it’s no surprise that we didn’t have high hopes for a team title. Before I start though, got to give it to the winners: HH won 11 out of the 18 events to our none. That being said, we took away a few small victories. Relays – 4×800 On paper,… Read More
The expression ‘when it rains, it pours’ thankfully didn’t describe the weather as we dodged Friday and Saturday’s storm bullet. It did, however, describe the injury count. After a solid Penn Relays (49.22 4×4 anchor) Chase Bethea (300H) crashed into the 7th hurdle, barely cleared the 8th, dragged himself across the finish and went down… Read More
The emotional ups and downs of this season have been rough. Just when things are clicking, another disaster. After an injury scare last Saturday, Isaiah Marc responded with a huge dual meet performance on Tuesday (11.01, 21.64, 49.23, 49.0). Penn would be the first time we loaded up our 4×1 and we were excited to… Read More
We took no chances this time. Last year, in an attempt to ‘see some things’ from a few of the guys, our weakened line-up caused the first loss to Upper Dublin in 22 years. I learned my lesson. Another huge day from Isaiah, an incredible work load from Grayson Ruffner, an emergency 400 leg by… Read More
Northeast Philly – The first time we ‘loaded up’ our 4×8 paid off with a win. On paper, 8:10 looked reasonable and still is down the road. Chase Bethea, who’s willing to do just about anything to help the team, sacrificed a probable win at 300 hurdles to lead the team off with a respectable… Read More
