Sanctioning Crisis
Problems end for non-member PA schools competing against NY teams in state -
and there's progress on other fronts, too.
According to PIAA Assistant Executive Director Jodi Good, the state associations of Pennsylvania and New York have reached an agreement to enable non-member schools from any state to compete against NY athletes in any event in any sport in PA. The breakthrough agreement, worked out in a telephone conference Tuesday, involved PIAA Executive Director Bradley Cashman and NYSPHSAA Executive Director Nina Van Erk, along with NY Assistant Executive Director Lloyd Mott. The agreement does not include out-of-state meets, such as those at the New York Armory in New York. But it is major progress. 7th in a series on the Sanctioning crisis - by Don Rich

New Freshman Mile Record
Watertown WI freshman Andrew Perkins ran 4:21.20 finishing second in a college race at Carthage College, Kenosha WI, Saturday 2/12. This breaks the national freshman class record of 4:22.62 set by Jeff See of Middletown OH in 2002.

Taking a shot
at the record books

Ryan Whiting chases 70' and more.

Central Dauphin PA senior Ryan Whiting didn't come out of nowhere. It's where he's going this year that has everyone turning from the track to watch, and to watch out for, the shot put.


Jen Barringer chooses Colorado
Florida distance star makes her decision after qualifying for her second straight World Cross at the USA Cross Country Championships in Vancouver WA. She will join U. Colorado freshman Liza Pasciuto, who won the junior women's race at Vancouver in which Barringer finished third. " I'm excited about my future as a runner and student at Colorado. The decision was the hardest one I've had to make in my life," Barringer said. "I had my choices down to the best schools/coaches in the nation."

Sanctioning Crisis
Non-member schools are
guilty until proven innocent

  • The plain implication of the current sanctioning crisis is that no school which is not a member of its state association can be trusted -- guilty until proved innocent.
  • Athletes may miss the opportunity of a lifetime to compete at the fabled Penn Relays unless this mess gets settled soon.
  • Who are these people who will deny perfectly innocent youngsters such an opportunity? What is their record? Not a good one, as we shall recount.
  • A New York Federation official claims that he is just "enforcing the rule." But what rule? One that violates the constitution in so many ways a lawyer would have a hard time deciding which one to pursue.
