Boys & Girls Win A Big Meet Against Conestoga Valley!

It was a warm day!  For Spring Track & Field, a warm day is a GOOD day!!  And the track was warm with competition!

For the boys, the section one title is always a challenge!  Usually the championships goes through Cedar Crest and our friend at McCaskey!  But this year, as last year Conestoga Valley has a great team!  They narrowly lost to McCaskey last week, without one of their best runners!  So today, every event was critical!  The race to 76 points began with some big wins in the 3200 really, 110 HH, and 100 meters!!!!  The 3200 relay(Kling, Lehr, Yorchak, & Birk) got it started with 5 BIG points! Then two very, very close races!  Santos wins the high hurdles in 14.4!!  And Long wins the 100 meters by a whisker!!  Great start!!!

Santos 2nd in the 300 IH & 1st in the 110 HH

Long scores BIG points in the sprints!

Some other big races - Birk wins the 1600 meters in 4:39, Unger wins the three throws!! 0 Shot - 49-7, Discus - 170-6, and Jav in 162-5!  Bennett wins the long jump!  Final score Hempfield 79, CV 71!  That is a REAL close meet!!!!!  Hempfield outscored CV 21-11 in the distance races & 25-2 in the throws!!!

The girls meet was not as close, but a good meet - final score Hempfield 89, CV 61!  Winners were:

Helgeson in the 100(12.1), 200(25.4), 400(59.0), & 1600 relay!  Thats four for four, and remember each athlete can only do four events!!!  Yoder wins the 800m(2:29), Rohrer in the Jav(110-0), Davis in the triple jump32-11), & Poletti in the pole vault(10-6)!

Helgeson dominates the sprints!

If you are following the girls team, they have not lost a dual meet since April of 2005!!  That's 8 years!!  WoW!!!!  What a streak!!!

Next Monday, at home McCaskey!!!  BE THERE!!!
