Girls Score! - Hempfield 111 Manhiem Township 39!

Great Start!

On the boys side on the track winning every running event except the 1600 relay!  In the sprints Long(winning the 200m & 400 Relay). His 200 meter time of 22.5 was great for this time of the year!  Koenig(winning the 100m & 400 Relay) and Lathon(winning the 400m) make this sprint crew on of Hempfield best in recent times!  In the distance events, Birk(winning the 800m, 1600m & 3200 Relay), and Yurchak(winning the 3200m & 3200 Relay) provided strength in the longer races!  And in the hurdles, one of the best in district 3, Santos(winning the 110m 300m & 400 Relay) had an incredible day!

In the field events, shot Aument(winning the shot & javelin), Unger in the discus, Bennett(winning the Long & Triple jumps), Stuckey(winning the high jump), and Peck the pole vault! Are you counting/  That's 17 of 18 event!

On the girl side more of the same!  Helgeson lead the way in the sprints(winning the 100m. 200m, 400m  & 1600 Relay)!!!  If you have the chance you NEED to come & see this young woman run!!  Conrad, winning the 1600, Nolan the 3200, High Hurdles Garpstas, Gamble 300 hurdles, and sweeping all three relays!!!

In the field, Rohrer winning the shot & javelin, Davis the long & triple jumps, Williams the high jump, and Garpstas also wins the pole vault!  Another must see the girls pole vault!  Garpstas & Poletti are two of the BEST in the state! (And I'm just a little biased here!)  But, a MUST see!  If you are counting here the girls won 15 of 18 events!

Check out the girls pole vault!

Garpstas one of the best in Pennsylvania!

Poletti one of the best in Pennsylvania!
