4/27/02 - ERIE MCDOWELL INVITATIONAL
@ MCDOWELL HIGH SCHOOL -
Elite: Gordon (18-11 LJ, 5-09 HJ, 41-01 TJ). Dan Mazzocco
Baldwin 9:15.67 3200. Mt. Lebanon 7:57.54 4x800. Ryan
Sherwood-Ericsson, McDowell, 209-05 JT. Jessica Perry, Peters
Township, 10:53.50 3200.
Surprise! Sheena Gordon wins four events. And all four were
among the best in the country. Her biggest improvement on the
season at this meet came in the Long Jump, when she went
18-11. She passed 40', going 41-01 in the Triple Jump. Her High
Jump didn't beat her season best, but 5-09 will win a lot of meets.
And of course with that leaping ability, running the 100 Hurdles
in
14.54 comes quite naturally. Jessica Perry of Peters Township hit
a nice race, taking the 3200 in 10:53.50, and taking the 1600 in
a
fast 5:05.10. Dan Mazzocco didn't win four, but his 1600-3200
double was equally impressive as Gordon's performance. His
9:15.67 and 4:17.57 show him to be rounding into shape, and
gaining strength. Mount Lebanon may be one of the few teams to
push North Penn at States. Their 7:57.54 came without challenge.
And Shawn Culligan of Bradford captured the 110 Hurdles in
14.65, and the 300 Hurdles in 39.17.
4/27/02 - GATEWAY RELAYS @ GATEWAY
HIGH SCHOOL -
Gateway invited many of western PA's top top teams, and then
proceeded to win both the boys and girls competitions. The boys
margin was wided, but the four point win over a strong North
Allegheny team was sure to open some eyes. North Allegheny
took seven of 16 events, and Gateway only captured three, but was
deeper in more events, placing in the top six in the other 16. The
Gateway boys demonstrated equal depth, winning four, and
scoring in eight other to win by 20 over West Mifflin.

Steve Huffman of Montoursville Area, went 11.37 and 22.90 to take
