Hempfield Winter Track & Field Schedule

Next week the Hempfield Track & Field Season begins!  One of the key reasons we think the program has turned it up a notch is the winter track season! The coaches have worked hard to keep the winter season in check & prepare the athletes for the long haul into the outdoor season starting in March.

The team usually practices 3 days a week and averages a meet every two weeks.  Here is the tentative winter meet schedule.

Dec 20 - at Kutztown
Jan 11 - at F & M
Jan 25 - at Penn State
Feb 1 - at Kutztown
Feb 15 - at Lehigh

Zach Miller - WHAT A RUN!

The more I read the articles, the better Zach's race gets!!

Even though the time, 5:38:53 is the third best time ever(WHICH IS AMAZING!), the course director thinks it is the BEST ever because of the conditions!

And, Zach NEVER ran 50 miles before Saturday!!!!

Zach works on a cruise ship!  Cannot run many miles on a cruise ship! (Only treadmill work!)

Zach barely qualified, from a 50K race(31 miles!)

Hempfield Track & Field Blog Begins Again With News About 2007 Hempfield Grad Zach Miller!

This is exciting!  The first blog post has some awesome news!!!

2007 Hempfield Grad, Zach Miller, wins the 2013 JFK 50 Mile Run!

This is 50 miles!  WOW!

The men's race capsule:

On the other hand, the front of the men’s race was topsy turvy throughout. Josh Arthur and Iain Ridgway left the Appalachian Trail for the tow path before the rest of the field, but Zach Miller (not the one some ultra aficionados are thinking of), Matt Flaherty, and Rob Krar were all within a minute or so of the lead. Once on the pancake-flat tow path, Krar, Miller, and Arthur took off with the last quickly falling off the pace around mid-race. Krar and Miller continued to battle with each opening small gaps on the other. It appears that Krar made a move after mile 30, opening up a 45 second lead on Miller by mile 34, but less than 5 miles later, it was Miller pulling Krar along. And then Krar dropped out leaving Miller all alone out in front. Still, Flaherty had relentlessly stayed 3-4 minutes behind the leaders since mid-race and he continued to pursue Miller with Mike Wardian making  an even stronger late charge. Neither would catch the previously unknown 25 year-old Miller, who had no marathons and two 50ks to his resume before winning JFK in the third fastest time ever – 5:38:53. Zach ran for Division III RIT where he set PRs of 31:23 in the 10,000m and 15:32 for 5k.

This is very impressive!  First, running 50 miles!  Second, beating some great competition!
