by Don Rich 2/12/00 at Lehigh University Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association Boys Highlights and Detailed ResultsThe performance of the meet was the 15' 7" pole vault which came from State College senior Kevin Dare, as he hit a new US #4. Kevin Kelly of Strath Haven cleared 14-3 to qualify for NSI. In the boys mile� Sean Duffy and Dan Coval had quite a duel. Coval was clearly not in top shape the last 400 as he tried to take the legs from 800 specialist Duffy with a 2:09 first half. Coval took lead on 2nd lap. Duffy closed on the fifth lap, and they went through the next quarter in 66. At the start of last quarter, Duffy surged past Coval, who responded for the next 100 before Duffy pulled away and held a 10 meter lead entering the final lap. North Penn's Dan Michael closed on a tired Coval, as Duffy pulled a 64 final quarter and missed a meet record by less than a second. Karl Dusen, who has the second best 3000 in PA this year, finished fourth with an NIC time of 4:26.55. It was great to see a 4:20 mile by a high schooler at Lehigh.
