Sherwood-Zimmerman-Ryncavage 1-2-3 in US Javelin and Abney #1 in 400 Hurdles.

Darden and Abney at the PA State Championships. Ryncavage and Zimmerman also get top five US rankings for the 2002 Outdoor Season.

All in all, PA made a great showing in the 2002 Outdoor season, landing two athletes as top of their respective events in the Dyestat Elite Rankings, and grabbing top five spots with six individuals and two relays.

The surprise to the country must have been the one-two-three sweep in the Javelin by McDowell's Ryan Sherwood (229-01), Warwick's Brad Zimmerman (222-03) and Coughlin's Justin Ryncavage (216-02). And with her USATF Junior National Championships performance, Merion Mercy's Tiffany Abney vaulted to the top of the 400 Hurdles list with a 58.11. Abney also is 5th in 300 Hurdles (42.01) and 9th in the 400 with her 53.79.

Also getting top five rankings were Courtney Clark, Norristown, 2nd in the 400 Hurdles with a 59.76 (6th in the 300 Hurdles with a 42.21); and Dominique Darden, Harrisburg, 5th in the 100 Hurdles with her 13.64+2.3. Darden was also 13th in the 200 with her 23.80; and Sam Bair, Shaler, 4th in the 800 with a 1:50.4. He was 11th in the Mile with a converted 1600 time of 4:11.11.

In the Relays, North Penn was the dominant PA Boys' team by far, finishing 2nd in the country with a 7:41.32 4x800, a 10th ranked (Penn Relays Championship) DMR of 10:17.47, and a 21st ranked Sprint Medley of 3:33.3. Warwick garnered 1th in the 4x800 (7:48.53), Strath Haven 17th (7:50.68), and William Tennent 20th (7:50.94).

And you guessed it, as William Penn's girls once again competed on a national level, finishing with three relays in the top 10 nationally. Their 3:42.81 4x400 is the 5th best; while their 4:02.21 Sprint Medley is 7th and their 1:38.59 4x100 is 9th.
