PA Weekend 1/13
Karl Dusen and Sean Duffy tangle in swift 3000, Dusen gets 8:51.8 PR at Haverford - Dominique Darden triples (55, 200, 400) at Dickinson
by Don Rich, publisher of DyeStat PA
It's mid-season, and the athletes are beginning to crank it up a notch. But in the 3000 at Haverford College Sat. 1/13, two elite PA runners cranked it up a bit more than that. Karl Dusen, Central Bucks East, and Sean Duffy, Cardinal O'Hara, knew they were each other's best competition, so they aimed for each other and achieved PR's. The fast mid-season dual in the 3000 came in the Large School Division meet.

Dusen said he took it out hard early, "because I know Duffy has a good kick, and I didn't want to wait for it. And the plan worked." Dusen went through the mile in 4:43, but Duffy maintained contact, never more than 25 meters back. After the mile, Duffy closed over several laps, and actually took the lead for a lap-and-a-half. But with 375 meters to go, Dusen opened it up again, and won comfortably in a PR of 8:51.8. Duffy's goal for the race had been 9:15 after a sleepless week at a school retreat. However, that goal quickly fell by the wayside as he was forced to abandon any race plan just to maintain contact with Dusen. "I'm really pleased. That's my first time under 9:00. Karl ran a great race, and I just couldn't go with him."
Both runners are anxiously looking forward to next Saturday and the Princeton Relays, as their respective teams will unveil their first full-strength DMR squads for this indoor season.
Evenly Dwyer, Merion Mercy, took over US#1 in an event that is not her specialty - the 1500 at Colgate. CB East's Karl Dusen and O'Hara's Sean Duffy challenged each other the whole way in the best 3000 of the season in Division I. Jim Dempsey, Wissahickon, and Ray Bobrownicki, Westown, both go over 6-7 in Division II. Jackie Kelly, St. Hubert's and PA XC Champ Paige Miller, Wissahickon, run the fastest girls' miles of the season at DVGTCA. Harrisburg's Dominique Darden takes three wins at Dickinson. And Sheena Gordon, McDowell, wins the 55 Hurdles and the Long Jump at Slippery Rock.Colgate: Dwyer's 4:48.4 effort at the Colgate Women's Games #3 Friday at Pratt Institute in NYC is the top in the country. She then came back in the 800 and jumped up to US #2 with a second place 2:15.2. US #1 Stacy Ann Livingston, Boys & Girls, ran a 2:12.8. Parkland frosh star Paula Giguere was third in the race with a 4:57.4, just .4 off a Dyestat Elite ranking. In the 400, Tiffany Abney, Merion Mercy, came off a week after recovering from the flu, and holds off US#1 Tiondra Ponteen by .3, of Irving with here best effort of the year, a 56.4. That improves her US#4 time. William Penn super soph Christina Smith was third in the race with a 57.8. All times are NSI/NIC qualifiers. In the 200, Abney and Smith ran separate heats, and tied with identical 25.5 efforts.

In Division II Saturday afternoon at Haverford, Strath Haven's Josh Hannum set a meet record, taking the 60 Meter Dash in 7.1. Matt Mereba, Cardinal Dougherty, also took home a meet record.

He needed every inch, as Westtown's Ray Bobrownicki went 6-7.
In the Delaware Valley Girls Track & Field Coaches Association, (DVGTCA) meet Friday at Kutztown, St. Hubert's Jackie Kelly outsprinted Wissahickon star Paige Miller in the mile, taking the race in a Dyestat Elite 5:13.8. Miller was .4 back, also Dyestat Elite. Pennsbury ran a Nike Indoor Classic qualifier in the DMR with their 12:47.9. William Penn took the 4 x 200 in 1:46.5, but were clipped by just over a second by Chester in the 4 x 400, which ran 4:08.7. Penn's Tyeshia Thomas took the 55 Hurdles in a Dyestat Elite 8.64, and teammate Juanita Broaddus won the 55 Dash in 7.35.
At Dickinson College, Harrisburg's Dominique Darden took three events, the 55 (7.3), the 400 (59.4 and Dyestat Elite), and the 200 (26.3), in Saturday's meet. Harrisburg was second in the 4 x 400 to Maryland's Eleanor Roosevelt with their 4:08.6 Dyestat Elite time. Roosevelt was almost five seconds faster. And Mariam Barnes, Harrisburg, won the high jump in a Dyestat Elite 5-4. PA boys excelled also in the field events. Dallastown's Brian Good went 21-7.75 in the Long Jump, a Dyestat Elite jump, as were the two high jumps of Tyler Fedell, Altoona, who was first, and Graham Peterson, Hershey, who both went 6-6. Brian Mondschein, Hershey, pole vaulted 14-0, a NSI effort.
In Slippery Rock Saturday at the Tri-State Track & Field Coaches Association (TSTCA) meet, McDowell's Sheena Gordon, and Winchester Thurston's Cassandra Richards, dueled in the 55 meter hurdles, getting identical times of 8.4, with Gordon awarded the win. Both are Dyestat Elite. Gordon came back to take the Long Jump with an effort of 18-6.5, a mere 1/4" less than Richards' first jump of the season on January 5. The jump is a qualifier for both NSI and NIC. In the High Jump, Shaler's Erika Frazze went 5-5, good for both NSI and NIC. In the Pole Vault, Emily Tharpe, McDowell, went 11-6 to qualify for both national meets. Jackie Rodgers, Baldwin, and Jocelyn Lindsay, Waynesburg, both went 10-6, an NSI qualifier. For the boys, Steve Carlucci, McDowell, jumped 14-6, a national qualifier at both meets. Jessica Perry, Peters Township, notched double wins in the 1600 (5:29.0) and the 3000 (10:52.1). And in the 3000, Baldwin teammates Dan Mazzocco (9:05.6) and Ryan Sheehan (9:08.6) were with feet of meeting Dyestat Elite times.
Many of the eastern PA teams head to the Princeton Relays on Saturday, January 20, where they will unveil their full relay squads.
