Outlook: “After coming off a successful winter season where we placed fifth in the 4x800 (Justin Musco – Alex Masgai – Jeff Espinal – Danny Williams) at the Pa. Indoor State Championship Meet, we look forward to competing in one of the toughest, if not THE toughest, leagues in the state of Pennsylvania in the spring. The competition we will meet on a weekly basis will help prepare us for the Saturday invitationals that give us the opportunity to qualify for the District One meet.
“We currently have 85 boys on the roster. As most other teams, we have a lot of new boys on the team, and it will take some time to get them in the proper events to help our team. Our goals are still the same as in past years: (1) be very competitive in our league (2) to show continual improvement (3) show sportsmanship (4) have a winning record in dual meets (5) advance many athletes to the District One meet and (6) be represented at the State Meet in Shippensburg and bring home some medals.
“Our first competition is on Saturday, March 21 at the Pirate Invitational at Palisades. Our first dual meet is on Tuesday, March 24 at Quakertown.”
