100H, 45.1 300H @ Westmoreland -
The PA sophomore class is showing themselves to be special. Rachel
Gehret from Altoona, and Caitlin Hewitt of Latrobe are the two that are
making the greatest impact this spring. You can read about Gehret's
exploits from the 4/24 Lock Haven Meet. This is about the 4/22
Westmoreland County Coaches meet at Derry. Hewitt first made an impact
at a pole vaulter as a frosh, clearing 10 to tie for 9th at States. This
past winter, she cleared 11'. But last Thursday, she won the 100 in
12.42, the took 2nd in the 200 in 25.79, won the Pole Vault with a 9-06
effort, and Long-Jumped 18-09.50. Slightly overshadowed by the young
multi-event wonder was Mycaiah Clemons of Valley, who beat Hewitt in the
200, going 25.16. She also posted the fastest 100 Hurdles time in PA
this season, 14.37. And her 45.07 300 Hurdles is the 2nd best in PA. And
Hewitt did return the favor in the Long Jump, as Clemons was 10.50"
behind at 17-11. On the boys' side, three fast 110 Hurdles from Chris
Morrisey, Ligonier valley, 14.91, Doug Francart, Kiski, 14.97, and Luke
Duriancik, Kiski, 15.00. Justin Moose, Norwin, went 177-01 in the Javelin.

Valley just .8 behind that. Jake Wieder, Emmaus, was a double winner,
taking the 100 in 11.2 and the 200 in 22.7, getting the nod in the
latter over Phil Flowers of Freedom. A day after her 7th place finish at

shine @ Pine-Richland -
Chad Radgowski is throwing with the best in the country. The South Park

Jav. The Oakland Catholic relays are looking good, thanks in large part
to Erica Moody and Charelise Davis. The team went 50.28 to win the
4x100, and 4:11.20 to take the 4x400. Davis won the 100 in 12.27
seconds, while Moody won the 200 in 25.52 and the 400 in 57.82.
