meter hurdles, going 8.22, 8.13 and 8.11 respectively. Lowry was pleased
with his day. "My final was clean. But I was behind at the first hurdle,
so when I get my start working, I can go faster." Adam Woodford,
Downingtown, was 2nd in the 60 Hurdles in 8.40. The High Jump boasted
some strong leaps, with Carlson Pickins of Germantown Friends School
cleared 6-08, as did Taylor (yes, the same one who went 47-02 in the
