DELAWARE COUNTY GIRLS' TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS @ PENNCREST HIGH SCHOOL

RESULTS COURTESY OF MIKE MCMILLEN

In a two-day format that helps prepare the athletes for similar trials and preliminaries at the upcoming District and State meets, Delaware County's girls' teams use the opportunity to test stategies. But usually fast, far and high will work just fine, as evidenced by the 4x800 show put on by Haverford (last year's state runner-up) and Cardinal O'Hara (last year's Delco champs). The Ford's foursome of Adriana Boyle, Rachel Giannascoli, Alicia York and Fiana York sizzled to a 9:23.5, a time they didn't post until the District meet last year. It broke Cardinal O'Hara's meet record set in 2001. O'Hara's Mary Debevec, Danielle Schopf, Bridgette Boudwin and Erin Kelly clocked 9:25.4, which would have won last year's PCL Champs by a lot. In the 4x100, Upper Darby broke an eight-year old meet record of Penn Wood's, going 47.8. Jannea Bridgeford anchored her mates Marissa McGarrell, Jen Lewis and Kellie Brown to help topple the record by a half second. Bridgeford was busy for the two days, surviving prelims and holding off two of Delaware County's best sprinters to capture the 100 and 200. Her 12.1 was .2 better than Chioma Nwaneshiudu of Penn Wood; while here 24.8 was just as close to the effort by O'Hara's Karon Lugay. In the hurdles, Chichester's Daniella Price took home double gold, going 15.3 in the 100 and 46.1 in the 300.
