THURSDAY HEADLINES: (PA RESULTS AND SOME PIX BELOW)
A remarkable first day for Pennsylvania girls, as three Philly-area hurdlers went 2-3-4 in the 400 version of the event. Nicole Leach, the West Catholic phenom who broke 60-seconds for the first time just two weeks ago, ran a 59.00 to become the first American across the line. Merion Mercy senior Tiffany Abney was 3rd in 59.18 and William Penn senior Christina Smith was 4th in 59.89. Hershey senior Angie Saterstad set about a 20-second PR by gaining 3rd in a very fast 3000, going 9:49.91. PA cleaned up the 5-6-7 spots with senior Emily Kruger, Lampeter-Strasburg, and juniors Kylee Schuyler, Chambersburg, and Francis Koons, Allentown Central Catholic. Three PA teams advanced to the COA 4x800's, including Gwynedd-Mercy (9:20.48) in the Small Schools, and Haverford Township (9;22.14) and Hatboro-Horsham (9:23.55) in the Large Schools. In Field Events, Williamsport's Ruby Radocaj was 2nd in the Javelin with a 147-08 effort, while Easton Pole Vaulter Courtney Regan was 3rd with an 11-03.75. The fastest 800 split of the day was delivered by Hatboro-Horsham sophomore Caitlin Klaas iln 2:13.8. And William Penn qualified for BOTH the 4x100 and 4x400 Championship of America races, taking their heat of the 4x100 in 46.88 and the 4x400 in 3:47.21. West Catholic ran 3:48.32 to make the COA.
West Catholic freshman Nicole Leach nicked the first hurdle, reminding her of her fall in the USATF meet in 2002. She refocused and finished as the first American, gettting 2nd overall in 59.00.
