a downpour by the middle distance medley. And by the time the 4x800

so heavy, you couldn't see runners more than 30 yards away. To adjust,
the heats were combined in the 4x800 and 4x400's, which was run
in a torrential downpour. Highlights: Lakeland boys take
seven relays. Coughlin 4x800 in 8:19.8. Tunkhannock's Matt Blaisure
and partner to 12' combined high jump, with Blaisure clearing
6"'8" after clearing 6'2, 6'4, missing @6'6 and then clear

Hickory Pole
Vaulter Andrew Rademacher
reached 14'0 as a freshman, 15'0 as a sophomore,
and is approaching his junior goal of 16'0. His
2003 Indoor PR of 15' 9 gained him recognition
in the Spring T&F News high school preview
issue. He'll compete at the Nike Indoor Classic
next weekend. Meet this PA elite in a PennTrackXC
feature. |
March 25, 2003 - While in New York, I got to meet Christopher
Malcolm, Reggie Witherspoon's (right) indoor coach.
With PA's legendary William Reed of Central High as
the holder of the record Witherspoon broke in the 400
at NSIC, it was only natural for me to cover the story
as discussion centered on which record to count. Reggie's
was run from a three-lane stagger, while Reed's was
run from a two-lane stagger. It also gave me the opportunity
to interview Arnie Shiffrin, Reed's high school coach.
The story
was published March 25th on Dyestat,
along with some of the discussion in the T&F community,
and a response from Reggie Witherspoon.
Also while in New York, Matt "Jersey Guy"
Soja and I talked with record-setting Pentathlete Donovan
Kilmartin (left) and his coach at Team Idaho. The story
was also published on Dyestat.
"The
leaders were right in front of me, and I realized
I could run with them, and qualify."
- Jon Pastore - The
story
"I
have what it takes to compete here." - Ian
Gottesfeld after his first Foot Locker finals in San
Diego, 12/14. The story.

Philadelphia Inquirer XC writer Ira Josephs contributes
a great piece on our sport in the November 3rd Sunday
Inquirer -
"For
runners, the hills of Belmont are hallowed ground."

Steve Spence had a birthday May 9th. He's now racing
with the Masters, and Steve plans to be as competitive
as he can be. The story
and a bit of PA running history is this special
feature on one of America's all-time best distance
runners.
Who won the boys' PA 800 in 1951? It was a Lowthert.
