Summaries:

Adriene Beltz improved her state-leading time in the 2-mile run to
11:13. She also won the Mile in 5:22. Wyomissing's Claire Aribat took
two events, the Triple Jump (35-07) and the 55 Hurdles (9.0). In boys'
competition, Zach Snyder of Wyomissing had a good night, taking the 220y
in 24.5, and the 440y in 53.5. Reading's Kalise Cook won the Long Jump
(20-07) and was 2nd in the 55 Dash in 6.5 seconds, to Hershey's
Roosevelt Davis, also 6.5 seconds.

1/29-Delaware County Boys' Championships @ Glen Mills Schools -
Carrington Queen of Chichester, was pushed to a 7.5 win in the 55
Hurdles, as Mike Anderson of Penncrest finished 2nd in the same time.
Glen Mills' Walter Brown cleared 6-4, and was awarded 1st on misses, as
teammate Basheon Johnson also cleared the same height. Johnson won the
Triple Jump with a leap of 40-03.75. Carroll's Mike Tilger took two

1/30-DVGTCA #9 @ Kutztown University - Plymouth Whitemarsh senior Kim
Morris held the PA #1 spot in the Triple Jump for the first half of the
season, then lost it temporarily. She's now back on top, tied with
Wissahickon's Alex Baptiste at 36'9 1/4". Baptise hit that distance at
last week's DVGTCA Meet. She was 2nd (36-07.50). The State meet is
shaping up to be a battle among quite a few talents. In addition to
Morris and Baptiste, Canon McMillan's Katie Tershel has gone 36'8 1/2",
and McDowell's Nicole Smith, just an inch less. Both performances are
within the past two weeks. In head-to-head competition, Morris is 3-1
against Baptiste. Morris also went 8.7 in the 55 Hurdles. And Tayvon
Gray, the Coatesville junior, unleashed a throw of 41-05.50 in the Shot
Put, a new US#7. In other action at the meet, Nicole Leach of West

1/31-TSTCA Meet #3 @ Robert Morris University - The Shot Put is
spectacular in PA this indoor, as evidenced by Rob Rankin of Upper St
Clair going 60'3" to become the 4th thrower over 60' this season. And
the girls are just as talented. Center's Allyn Laughlin improved PA #3
with a toss of 40'7.5". Nick Ivancic of the Maple Leaf Track Club (OH)

Snell, Penn Hills, won the 55 Hurdles (8.5), while Oakland Catholic's
Erica Moody went 59.1 to win the 400. Laurel's Jessi Cooper cleared 5'3"
in the High Jump. A lot of strong pole vaulters, with soph Caitlin
Hewitt of Latrobe clearing 10'9" for the win. Three athletes got over
the bar at 10'3", Nicole Pitchford, Riverside,Kristen Moreau, Indiana,
and Emily Pease, Moon Area.

1/31-TFCAGP D1 Meet #8 @ Kutztown University - Henderson's Greg Williams
has the top 3000 time in PA by less than a second over Steve Hallinan of
O'Hara. In the process, he broke the 9:08.3 1998 record set by former
