The Starting Five

Our area high school track and field athletes turned in several standout performances over the past few days at the Washington County, Mid-Penn Conference, Potomac Valley Conference and Mid-Atlantic Prep League championships.

Two Tri-State records were set.

Chambersburg’s Tyson Keith, Swaine Hinton, Dakota Grove and ConRoy Smith set the all-time record in the boys 4×100-meter relay with their winning time of 42.52 seconds at the Mid-Penn championships. The previous mark of 42.54 was set by Chambersburg in 1990.

At the PVC Class AAA championships, Martinsburg’s Miranda Hicks set the all-time record in the girls discus with her winning throw of 137 feet, 11 inches. Meagan Verdeyen set the previous record of 135-3 for North Hagerstown in 1999.
