FRIDAY HEADLINES: (PA RESULTS AND SOME PIX BELOW)
On his very first throw of the preliminaries, Brad Zimmerman had everyone else in the competition start competing for 2nd. His 215-03 stood the test of two flights and the finals. Cedar Crest's Thomas Jordan was 2nd as the only other guy over 200', going 209-07. Tyree Suber of Glen Mills got back into explode mode holding off the challenge of the #1 seeded Jamaican to go 62-02.50 for the win (and the watch). North Hills' Ian Fitzgerald, a junior, showed patience in his first-ever 3000, resisting the temptation to go after the leader before unleashing a drive that would bring him into 2nd, just two seconds behind the repeat Champ Brian Dalpiez in 8:30.16. Cardinal O'Hara DMR anchor Steve Hallinan refused to give up, methodically working his way back to the leaders before paying the price over the final two laps. His effort brought his team a 3rd place finish in 10:21.14. Methacton's Blake Taylor cleared 6-08.25 to get 2nd in the High Jump. Carson Pickens, Germantown Friends Academy, and Juan Cave, St. Joseph's Prep, each cleared 6-06.25 and tied for 5th. The best 6th and 9th place finishes of the meet for PA probably have to be Gwynedd-Mercy and Haverford in the Championship of America 4x800. Each Gwynedd-Mercy girls set a PR (Kelley McGrath 2:17.8, Kate Vernan 2:15.7, Kahki Mealey 2:16.1, Meghan Bishop 2:14.9) enroute to a 9:04.03. Haverford got solid runs from everyone, including two PRs to get 9th in 9:13.90. William Penn ran into the Long Beach Poly juggernaut in both COA races, getting 5th in the 4x100 in 46.27 and 6th in the 4x400 in 3:50.21. In the Mile, Quakertown's Adam Breisch, Lewisburg's Chris Spooner, and Springfield (Montco)'s Mark Korich went 6-7-8. And North Penn, Cumberland Valley and Lewisburg all advanced to the COA 4x800.North Penn, CV , Lewisburg
