When Central’s Jay Stone decided to add a third event to his schedule for this weekend’s District 3 Track and Field Meet, it didn’t take long to make a selection.

“The 400 was my best event in middle school, so I picked it back up,” the junior said. “I don’t know if I’ll run the 400 at states because my heart is with the hurdles.”

Stone’s passion for the hurdles has earned him numerous accolades in championship meets and invitationals.

He won both the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles at the 2012 District 3 Class AAA Track and Field Meet, and last Friday night, Stone broke an 18-year-old York-Adams League Meet record by winning the 110 hurdles in a time of 14.14 seconds.

Stone will enter this year’ district meet at Shippensburg University on Friday with the fastest time in the 110 hurdles and the third-best time (:38.58) in the 300 hurdles. He’s seeded second in the 400 dash at :49.23.

“In the high hurdles (110), it’s all about me, I just take off and go and don’t even think about who is next to me,” Stone said. “In the 400 hurdles and 400 (Stone ran the 400 hurdles at this year’s Penn Relays and plans to compete in the event in college), I like to be able to see everyone and then with about 200 meters remaining, I’ll let loose.”

Stone has some times in mind that he would like to hit in his trio of events at districts.

“I’m thinking about hopefully breaking 14 (seconds) in the 110s, I’ve been working to get the 38.55 in the 300s down, and in the 400, I’m hoping to run in the mid to low 48s.”

Districts, of course, is the penultimate meet of the season. States, which is scheduled for May 24-25, also at Shippensburg University, is the ultimate event of the high school season. Stone’s track and field season, though, won’t end at states.

Headed to Puerto Rico: He’s been selected to compete with the United States team in the Caribbean School Invitational on June 7-8 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It will be the second prestigious meet in three months for Stone, who finished fifth in the high school 400 hurdles while competing against an elite field at the Penn Relays.

“I did not think for one second that I was going to get picked for the Caribbean meet,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to it. Being at the Penn Relays was amazing. All those people, and so many athletes running so fast.”

Stone’s agenda also includes a trip to the New Balance Outdoor Nationals Meet from June 14-16 in Greensboro, N.C.

It’s not all track, all the time, though, for Stone. He also plays football at Central.

“I’ve started to think about college, but I haven’t made any decision yet,” he said. “Wherever I go, I want to return kicks (as well as compete on the track-and-field team).”

Other area top seeds: Stone is one of five York-Adams athletes who will enter the district meet with the top performance of the season in an event.

Sarah Hunt of Fairfield earned the top seed in both the Girls’ Class AA long jump and triple jump with leaps of 17 feet, 10 inches and 35-11 1/4, respectively.

York High’s Anderson Novalin is top seeded in the Boys’ Class AAA shot put at 53-2, and South Western’s Holly Arey has the longest throw in the Girls’ Class AAA discus at 129-10. York Tech’s Ronald Henderson shares the best performance in the Boys’ Class AAA triple jump (45-31/2) with Isa Paschall of Carlisle.

Olivia Gettle and Kelsey Ibarra didn’t take long to separate themselves from the pack in the Girls’ 3,200 run during the completion of the York-Adams League Track and Field Championships on Monday.

Getting separation from each other was another story altogether.

Gettle, a York Suburban freshman, and Ibarra, a Central York senior, delivered a classic eight-lap duel.

With less than 200 meters to go, Gettle, who had been a very close second for almost the entire race, made her move and took the lead. She won in a time of 11 minutes, 29.23 seconds. Ibarra crossed the line in 11:30.93. Gettle shaved 12 seconds off her personal record with the gold-medal run.

“I knew my time was going to be fast,” she said. “My arms hurt, my legs hurt, but I knew I had to stay with her. I ran against her (Kelsey) in cross country (in the York-Adams Meet), but that wasn’t even close. (Ibarra won her second York-Adams cross country title last fall). But, I did finish second (to Ibarra) in the county cross country meet.”

Gettle’s York-Adams Track and Field Meet was an unforgettable one. She won the 1,600 on Friday night before capturing the 3,200 when the meet resumed on Monday.

“I’m always going to be thankful to my teammates and my coach (Dan VanHouwe), who pushed me so hard,” she said. “Samantha Gehly, my teammate, pulled me up with her when I joined the team this year.”

Gettle wasn’t the only freshman to win two individual races in the what turned out to be a two-day meet. South Western’s sprint star Lynne Mooradian swept the 100 and 200 dashes in :12.35 and :25.59, respectively. Mooradian’s teammate, Holly Arey, a junior, won both the shot put and discus on Monday with throws of 35 feet, 31/2 inches, and 120-09.

Dallastown’s Tatianna Purnell (300 hurdles), Spring Grove’s Lydia Kline (high jump), York High’s Jasmine Berry (triple jump) and Bermudian Springs’ Rachel Crane (800) also came through with girls’ individual championships on Monday.

Purnell, in addition to winning the 300 hurdles, ran a leg on Dallastown’s winning 1,600 relay team (along with Shay Hall, Megan Newmister and Emma Kange). Susquehannock’s Destiny Hatcher, Jala Sanders, Katie Wagner and Alesha Herman took the 400 relay.

“When the meet was suspended on Friday (because of rain), the first comment I heard (from Purnell) was ‘are we going to practice this weekend?’” said Dallastown assistant coach Erik Harr. “She practiced with (assistant coach) David Hoffman. She had a little extra tuneup and did a PR (:46.30) today.”

HANOVER – South Western’s freshman sensation, Lynne Mooradian, comes from a track-and-field family.

“My mom (Deb Losee) ran at New Oxford, my grandfather was a hurdler, and my aunt competed in the high jump,” Mooradian said following the Mustangs’ 82-68 victory over Red Lion.

By winning the season-ending matchup of unbeaten teams, the South Western girls claimed their 21st York-Adams title.

The Red Lion boys’ team, which clinched the York-Adams Division I crown last week, put an exclamation mark on its perfect season by defeating South Western, 95-55.

Mooradian is following the relatives’ lead into the sport of track and field, but she’s blazing her own trail with her ability to do so many things so well.

“I can put Lynne in the 4-by-4 (1,600 relay), the 4-by-1 (400 relay), the 400, the 100, the 200, the long jump and the triple jump, and she’s good at all of them,” South Western head coach Bruce Lee said. “She gives you that versatility, and she never complains.”

Mooradian, as she’s done all season, displayed her talent and versatility by winning three events and finishing second in a fourth. She captured the 200, 400 and long jump and placed second in the triple jump. Lee wasn’t planning to use Mooradian in the 200, but he changed his mind.

“I realized if we swept the 200, that we would only need a second in the long jump to win the meet,” the Mustangs’ coach said. “I put her back in the two at the last minute.”

Mooradian won the event in 26.2 seconds and teammates Amore Coleman and McKenzie Wall completed the 1-2-3 finish with identical times of :27.5.

“I like the two (200), the two’s become my event this year,” Mooradian said. “But I like just about everything he (Lee) puts me in.”

Lee’s team used a 42-21 advantage in the field events to offset Red Lion’s 47-40 edge on the track.

The teams split the 18 events, but South Western piled up 10 second-place finishes in the individual events to five for Red Lion.

Amanda Wivell captured the 800 and 1,600 runs for the Lions, while Erin Harman (triple jump and pole vault) and Steph Shaw (100 hurdles, 300 hurdles) earned two first-place finishes apiece for the Mustangs.

Boys’ meet: Andrew Menges recorded the best times in the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles to help the Red Lion boys overwhelm South Western, 68-19 on the track. The Lions placed first in 10 of the 11 track events.

The Red Lion guys are 23-1 over the past four seasons, winning the division title three times.

“It feels awesome to go my whole four years only losing one meet,” Menges said. “Our distance team is phenomenal, and we have a lot of depth in sprinters.”

The Lions also have talent in the field. They were outscored in that portion, 36-27, on Tuesday, but swept the long jump and went 1-2 in the pole vault.

South Western’s Dillon Thomas captured the high jump and javelin.

“The key to winning dual meets is having enough depth throughout every event,” Red Lion boys’ coach Todd Barshinger said. “Even though we won the title last week, these guys are competitors, and they wanted to go out with a bang.”

Seeds set for tennis tournament: Repeat champions were a regular occurrence for a while in the Class AAA singles bracket of the York-Adams League Boys’ Tennis Tournament.

Four players, all from Dallastown, went back-to-back beginning with Andrew Holmes in 2001. After Holmes came Phil Bayliss, Billy Heird and Gavin Smith.

Since Smith’s second title in 2008, though, there have been four different champions: Mikesh Desai of Central; Max Lillie of Dallastown, Tommy Nicklas of South Western and Anthony Miserendino of South Western.

Miserendino returns this year as the No. 1 seed, and he’ll seek to join Holmes, Bayliss, Heird and Smith as a recent repeat champion.

John Schmitt of Dallastown is the No. 2-seeded player in AAA, followed by Sam Innerst of Red Lion, Kaltrin Bullaj of Susquehannock, Quinn Meyer of South Western, Hunter Brown of Central, Kyle Salaga of Dallastown and Mike Gruver of New Oxford.

Biglerville’s Cole Herzing, the runner-up in AA last year, is the No. 1-seeded player this year. The other seeded players in order are: Michael Hogg of York Suburban, Adam Hack of York Catholic, Adam Fisher of Delone Catholic, Evan Staub of Delone Catholic, Elliot Diehl of York Suburban, Matthew Koury of York Catholic and Cullen Rosenbrien of Hanover.

The championship matches in AAA and AA singles are set for Monday at South Western.

The AA and AAA doubles titles will be decided on Wednesday, also at South Western.

Wild title races: The wild title races in York-Adams Division I baseball and softball could both come down to the final day.

Spring Grove, Red Lion and Dallastown are all tied for first place in baseball with 7-3 league records. South Western is a half-game back at 6-3.

Dallastown, Central and Red Lion are locked up at 8-2 in Division I softball.

The remainder of the schedules for the baseball teams are: Spring Grove (at Dallastown, South Western, at Red Lion); Red Lion (at Central, South Western, Spring Grove); Dallastown (at South Western, Spring Grove, Central); and South Western (Dallastown, at Red Lion, at Spring Grove, Central).

The softball schedules are: Dallastown (at South Western, New Oxford, Central); Central (Red Lion, at Dallastown, at South Western); and Red Lion (at Central; South Western, New Oxford).

Howley milestone: Dallastown head swimming coach Rich Howley reached a milestone this past season by earning his 400th career victory.

Howley’s overall record is a sparkling 408-68-1 (206-31-1 with the boys’ program and 202-37-0) with the girls’ program.

The Wildcats’ girls’ team has captured nine straight, and 11 of the last 12, Division I crowns. Dallastown’s boys have won 18 of the past 22 Division I championships.

Central York track standout Jay Stone will experience a new venue and new event on Saturday.

Stone earned an invitation to the prestigious Penn Relays, which will mark its 119th running Thursday through Saturday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.

The Panthers’ junior, who has recorded the best York-Adams League times so far this season in the 110 hurdles (14.2 seconds) and 300 hurdles (:38.58) , will compete for the first time in the 400 hurdles.

The 400 hurdles, normally a collegiate event, is like its high school counterpart in that it requires stamina, jumping ability and coordination. However, the 400 features two more hurdles than the 300, and, of course, requires an athlete to run an extra 100 meters.

“I’m pretty excited about it,” Stone said. “I’m going to run against the Jamaicans and other great runners. I’m going to give it my all.”

Seven hurdlers from Jamaica are entered in the event, along with a group of talented athletes from the United States, including two from Pennsylvania: Wellington Zaza of Garnet Valley High School and Todd Townsend of Philadelphia’s Neumann-Goretti.

Zaza won the state Class AAA triple jump title last year, along with finishing second in the 300 hurdles and fourth in the 110 hurdles. Townsend captured the Class AA 110 hurdles and gained a bronze medal in the 300 hurdles.

Stone isn’t the only York County athlete who has an invitation to an individual event.

Red Lion’s two Amandas — Myers and Young — will compete in the girls’ high school javelin and pole vault, respectively. Myers is the defending York-Adams champion in her event, and Myers placed second in the pole vault at last season’s league championship meet.

This year, Myers has recorded a league-best throw of 124 feet, 4 inches in the javelin, and Young is tied for the second-high pole vault at 10-6.

The Penn Relays entry list also includes teams from Central, Red Lion and South Western in the boys’ 1,600 relay, a team from Central in the boys’ 400 relay, and girls’ teams from York High, Susquehannock, York Suburban, Central and Red Lion in the 400 relay and teams from Red Lion, York Suburban, South Western and Central in the 1,600 relay.

Big meet: Stone, Myers and Young will begin focusing on Penn Relays later in the week.

Right now, their focus in on Tuesday, when Central travels to Red Lion for boys’ and girls’ York-Adams Division I meets. The boys’ meet is a showdown, with the Lions entering the competition with a perfect 4-0-0 record, and Central checking in at 3-0-1.

The Red Lion girls, seeking to win a second-straight crown, are unbeaten so far at 4-0-0. Central is 2-2-0.

GLEN ROCK — Alesha Herman didn’t feel well when she woke up Thursday morning.

The Susquehannock High School track standout didn’t even consider staying home from school, though.

Schoolwork could be made up, but if Herman didn’t report for classes, she wouldn’t be able to compete in Thursday afternoon’s crucial York-Adams Division II meet against Northeastern.

The Warriors’ star sprinter made it to school.

“I woke up with a stomach illness, and I fought through it in school because I knew the team needed me,” Herman said. “I went to the nurse twice.”

When classes ended, Herman and her teammates made their way up the hill across from the high school to the track-and-field complex. The Warriors then took on the Bobcats in a meet between the two remaining unbeaten teams in York-Adams Division II.

The showdown was just as close as expected, with the lead changing hands six times.

Susquehannock, though, had the best closing kick, outscoring Northeastern, 20-3, in the final three events (3,200 run, discus and 1,600 relay) to score an 83-67 victory.

The Warriors’ boys, meanwhile, edged Northeastern, 76-73, to complete the sweep.

Herman captured the 100 and 200 dashes and ran a leg on two winning relay teams, 400 and 1,600. She anchored the 400 and handled the leadoff leg for the 1,600.

The Warriors’ junior put up an outstanding time of 25.3 seconds in the 200.

“I think :25.3 is my PR (personal record),” Herman said. “I threw up after the four by one (400 relay), and that made me feel better,” she said.

While pleased with her performances, Herman was more thrilled with the team triumph that put the Warriors in position to claim their first Division II crown since 2006.

“My team means a whole lot to me,” she said. “Every person pushes herself to get a personal record and help the team.”

While Herman was sweeping the two sprints, her teammate, Rachel Banchiere, won the two distance runs, the 1,600 and 3,200.

Susquehannock went 1-2-3 in the 200, 1,600, 3,200 and pole vault, and Northeastern secured all three places in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles.

The Bobcats’ Payton Hauck recorded the best leaps in the long jump and triple jump.

The teams split the 18 events, but Susquehannock outscored Northeastern 15-0 by winning all three relays.

“I tell the girls that if you win three relays, it’s hard to lose the meet,” Susquehannock head coach Steve Stough said. “I knew it was going to be a tough meet because they have certain strengths. Having someone like Alesha, you can count on her getting you 20 points (100, 200 and running on two relay teams).”

Boys’ meet: Stough’s boys’ team prevailed even though Northeastern captured 11 of the 18 events, including two of three relays.

The Warriors’ depth proved decisive. Susquehannock recorded 10 second-place finishes and 11 third-place finishes in the 15 individual events.

Susquehannock’s Calloway Hatcher displayed his versatility by winning two events on the track (100 and 200) and one in the field (long jump).

Justin Williamson (110 hurdles and 300 hurdles), Mykol Branch (high jump and triple jump) and Ben Linne (1,600 and 3,200) secured two first-place finishes apiece for Northeastern.

Paul Young and Jake Machulz placed one-two in the pole vault to enable the Warriors to nail down the victory.

“Our boys can get the job done,” Stough said. “Us going one-two in the 200 (Calloway and Andrew Sweigard) was a big turning point. I had us losing this meet (in a pre-meet projection).”

The Susquehannock girls are now 3-0-0 and will be favored to win their three remaining league meets. Northeastern slipped to 2-1-0.

The Susquehannock boys improved to 2-1-0, and Northeastern fell to 0-3-0.
