Friday, January 4, 2001 - DVGTCA @ Lehigh University

consistent. No, make that consistently excellent. Running the 200,
400 and 800, she tops the state in the latter two distances, and
is 3rd
in the 200. On Friday 1/4, she took the 300 yards in a sizzling
36.1
over fellow elite Juanita Broaddus of William Penn (left).
Rodgers then
anchored her Penn Wood 4x200 to a come-from-behind win of 1:48.5
with a 24.7 split. In the 800, Rebecca Powell of Pennsbury took
the 800 in
2:21.5. The Villa Maria DMR of Andrea Rocky, Tara Kelly, Christine
Egan,
and Kim Malcolm went 12:43.7, tops in PA so far this season. And
Jen
Williams of Great Valley, equalled her best of 5-4 in the High Jump.
Tri-State Track Coaches Association (western PA)
Friday January 4, 2002 @ Slippery Rock University - In the
second meet
of the season for western PA athletes, Sheena Gordon of McDowell,
gave
early notice that she is already in great shape. Not just in one,
but
three events. Her Triple Jump of 38-3 is a full two feet ahead of
the
second best jump of the season. Her Long Jump of 18-3.50 is within
.75"
of the top spot. And her 8.3 55 Hurdles is a virtual tie for first
in
the state. And she performed all three on the same night. The Pole
Vault
has two new state leaders, one girl and one boy. Jocelyn Lindsey
of
Waynesburg went 11-0 (Kim Duschek, Bethel Park 10-6), while Hickory's
Andrew Rademacher cleared 14-0. In the High Jump, Erika Frazze of
Shaler
became the first girl to 5-5 this season. Akeem Vance, Greensburg-Salem,
went 6.3 in the 55 Meter Dash, easily one of the fastest this year.
Windber Area's Jeff Kiss took the 55 Hurdles in 7.5. And Jessica
Perry
of Peters Township doubled, winning the 1600 in 5:36.0 and the 3000
in
11:14.0.
