TIM HICKEY RETIRES

A great article by Shannon Ryan in the May 28th Philadelphia Inquirer on legendary William Penn (Philadelphia) coach Tim Hickey, who is retiring from the day-to-day, but certainly not from the sport. The Inquirer reports on the Hickey legacy.

Sunday, May 25, 2003 - Craig Miller's 4:14.26 (3rd in AAA 1600 - pictured @ right) "should be a new (US) freshman class record" confirms Track & Field News High School Editor Jack Shepard, who adds his congratulations to the talented Manheim Township runner. The old record of 4:14.6 was held by Mike Mundy, Mt. Vernon, IN, and was set in 1984. Read the story of the race and what else to expect from Craig Miller.

Tuesday, April 22 - Memories of Penn, by Walt Murphy

Hickory Pole Vaulter Andrew Rademacher reached 14'0 as a freshman, 15'0 as a sophomore, and is approaching his junior goal of 16'0. His 2003 Indoor PR of 15' 9 gained him recognition in the Spring T&F News high school preview issue. He'll compete at the Nike Indoor Classic next weekend. Meet this PA elite in a PennTrackXC feature.

March 25, 2003 - While in New York, I got to meet Christopher Malcolm, Reggie Witherspoon's (right) indoor coach. With PA's legendary William Reed of Central High as the holder of the record Witherspoon broke in the 400 at NSIC, it was only natural for me to cover the story as discussion centered on which record to count. Reggie's was run from a three-lane stagger, while Reed's was run from a two-lane stagger. It also gave me the opportunity to interview Arnie Shiffrin, Reed's high school coach. The story was published March 25th on Dyestat, along with some of the discussion in the T&F community, and a response from Reggie Witherspoon.

Also while in New York, Matt "Jersey Guy" Soja and I talked with record-setting Pentathlete Donovan Kilmartin (left) and his coach at Team Idaho. The story was also published on Dyestat.

"The leaders were right in front of me, and I realized I could run with them, and qualify." - Jon Pastore - The story

"I have what it takes to compete here." - Ian Gottesfeld after his first Foot Locker finals in San Diego, 12/14. The story.

November 3, 2002 - Philadelphia Inquirer XC writer Ira Josephs contributes a great piece on our sport in the November 3rd Sunday Inquirer -
"For runners, the hills of Belmont are hallowed ground."

September 11, 2002
- The Millers of Manheim. A pair of prodigies.

Who won the boys' PA 800 in 1951? It was a Lowthert. A family you can get to know from PA T&F history, in Features.
