Philadelphia Public League Championships
Tuesday-Wednesday, May 21-22, 2002 - Public League Championships
@
Edison HS - It's called a team title because it takes more than
one
individual to score enough points to win. And William Penn has quite
a
few individuals who could almost win a meet on their own. All Juanita
Broaddus did was win the 100 (11.94), the 200 (23.87), the 400 (55.08)
and get 2nd in the Long Jump (17-00). All Christina Smith did was
win
the 100 Hurdles (14.61), the 400 Hurdles (1:00.04),the High Jump
(5-02)
and get 3rd in the 200 (25.00). And all Madonna Patterson did was
win
the 1600 (5:22.25), get 2nd in the 100 Hurdles (15.8), get 2nd to
teammate Tyeshia Thomas (2:17.43) in the 800 (2:19.50), and anchor
the
4x800 to a win in 9:54.99. And on top of the 800 win, Thomas got
2nd in
the 400 Hurdles (1:03.14), and ran on the winning 4x400 (3:56.17).
And
there's Shantia Byrd, Lynda Whitfield, and Kandis Worthington (24.67
in
the 200) to thank for those 202 points, too. Let's just call them
William Penn, Public League Champions. Other elite performances
included
Tyeshia Gardner, Girls High, 56.09 in the 400. For the boys, John
Fudge,
Simon Gratz, took the 110 Hurdle (14.43), the Long Jump (21-10),
and the
Triple Jump (44-08.50). Dewayne Dawkins, Overbrook, took the 400
Hurdles
in 56.12 and the 200 in 22.50. Central captured the boys' title.
Philadelphia Catholic League Championships
Sunday, May 19, 2002 - Philadelphia Catholic League Championships
@
Widener University - Cardinal O'Hara came up just three points shy
of
pulling off a clearn sweep of the PCL team championships from XC
to
indoor and outdoor. The boys and girls both captured the PCL XC
and
Indoor champs, and the boys clearly won the outdoor title. But it
was
Archbishop Ryan's depth that refused to lose as O'Hara finished
3rd in
the 4x400, but needed 1st to win the title.
Individually, Archbishop
Carroll's Maurice Stovall ran one of the fastest 400's in the state
this
season, in a one-on-one duel with McDevitt's Tariq Boston 48.08-48.85.
Dougherty's James Jefferson captured both the 100 (11.03-Boston:11.13)
and 200 (21.99). O'Hara's Craig Haywood won the High Jump, clearing
6-02
and the Long Jump, leaping 20-06.50. Nicole Leach, West Catholic
(56.61
400/62.19 400H); Karon Lugay, O'Hara (12.23 100/25.00 200); an Denise
Tetkowski, Ryan 17-02.00 LJ/34-07.25 TJ), were all double winners.
