Saturday, March 26 – Small Schools Invitational
Because of the start of spring break, we didn’t enter an entire team at Saturday’s Small Schools invite. However, there were a few good performances among those who did attend.
For the boys, Zane Delcore ran a Personal Record time in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.52, good for third place in the varsity finals. He was also fourth in the long jump with 19’3″ and won the 300-meter hurdles with another personal record of 41.78. In the latter event, Garcia placed 4th in 47.11.
In the Frosh/Soph heat of the 300 hurdles, Souder picked up the second-place medal while running 48.41. Add to that 4th place in the 110 F/S hurdles, and he had a good day. In the frosh/soph sprints, Eberly picked-up a couple of fourth-place medals with times of 12.27 for the 100-meter dash and 24.99 for the 200-meter dash. Jack Delcore won the frosh/soph 110-meter hurdles in 17.14, placed second in the frosh/soph triple jump with 35′-3″, and placed 5th in the frosh/soph long jump with 17′-5″.
