Saturday, April 6, 2002
- Plymouth-Whitemarsh Colonial Relays @ Plymouth-Whitemarsh HS -
Windy and cold weather pretty much limited
the chances that performances would be what the athletes and coaches were
shooting for. The Discus and Javelin were into the wind. The wind was behind
the high jumpers, throwing off their steps and timing. But it was still a
meet that kept moving at a good clip. In the Girls Relays, the top prizes
were split rather evenly, as William Penn (Juanita Broaddus photo by PennTrackXC) and host
Plymouth-Whitemarsh took home three golds apiece. Souderson,
Methacton and Gwynedd-Mercy took two golds each. For the Boys
Relays, any event that involved an 800 went to Bishop McDevitt, as
they the 4x400 and Pole Vault relays to tally five wins. Lower Merion
tallied three golds, while Lower Moreland had two golds.

putting a big effort into the DMR and came within two seconds of the win,
going 10:35.39. Great Valley (10:44.57) and Henderson

Saturday, March 30, 2002 - PTFCA Classic @ Coatesville High School
- It wasn't
raining or snowing like last year. But it was certainly windy. And if you've
ever been to a meet at the site of the District 1 Championships at
Coatesville High School in Chester County, you know the wind whips off the
ridge, right into the faces of every finisher. Given the conditions, there
were some promising performances at a meet which attracts talent from a much
wider area than the Southeastern PA region. Considering the stiff breeze, all
the distance races were strong. Baldwin School's Julia Pudlin,
rounding into shape after missing XC and much of Indoor from a May 2001
injury, went through the mile in 5:21 in the 3200, taking control at that
point on a strong field that included Wissahickon's Erin Franklin, and
Coatesville's Kelly O'Connell. Pudlin went 10:59.01 for the win.
Franklin was 2nd in 11:08.22, and O'Connell 3rd in 11:28.31. Pudlin plans to
race in CA at the Arcadia meet in two weeks. For the boys, Joel Thomas
of Emmaus, from District 11, ran a strong 9:32.14 to hold off Upper
Moreland's Mark Mullelly (9:37.28) and Damony Giles of Simon
Gratz (9:37.88). In the Mile, Tim Erickson of Southern Lehigh went
4:21.83 for a 1.5 second edge on Strath Haven's Andrew Combs. Lewisburg's
Ashleigh Wetzel won the Mile in 5:10.16, as Hatboro's Janine
Ricci was just under three seconds back, and Gwynedd Mercy's Meghan
Bishop was less than two seconds behind Ricci. Takia Brooks
(pictured) of Abington won the short sprints,
taking the 100 in 12:49 by just .03 over West Catholic's Tiffany
Bradley; and the 200 in 25.16 by the same slim margin over, you guessed
it, Tiffany Bradely. (Something tells me this battle is just beginning).
Perry County's Jessica Kratzer of Greenwood, took three events,
including the Shot Put (36-6*), the Discus (118-04), and the Javelin
(129-07). Denise Tetkowski of Archbishop Ryan, also was a triple
victor, taking the 300 Hurdles in 47.35, the Long Jump with her 17-02*
effort, and the Triple Jump with a leap of 36-09*. In the Relays, Simon
Gratz boys and girls took the 4x100's, the guys in 43.08, and the girls
in 48.60. William Tennent's boys won the 4x800 in 8:00.31, while the
Haverford girls picked up where they left off last season, taking the
girls' race in 9:46.89. The Council Rock boys won the DMR in 10:40.35.
