Round 7: Athlete of the Year

Girls

Kendall Cooper (Annville-Cleona / Sr.)

Cooper capped her career with a pair of 8th-place finishes in the 100m and 200m at States, following silver medals at the LL League and District 3 Championships. She was also the Lebanon County Champ in both events. A key leg on Annville’s record-setting 4x100m relay, Cooper helped the team to District gold and a 2nd-place finish at States, running a school-best 48.46. Additionally, Cooper helped the 4x400m to a gold medal at District Championships, followed by a 7th-place finish at States. She will continue her career at St. Joseph’s University.

Kaddel Howard (Cedar Crest / Jr.)

Howard continued her 400m dominance with a third straight PIAA gold, breaking her own District 3 record by running 53.95 and clocking a season-best 53.12 in the State prelims. Undefeated in the event, she also claimed titles at the County, LL League, and District 3 Championships.

Eliana Schneider (Cedar Crest / Jr.)

One of the most versatile athletes in Pennsylvania, Eliana Schneider delivered standout performances in the Javelin, High Jump, and 800m. She dominated the Javelin field with a season-best throw of 149’5”, winning the Lebanon County title, placing 2nd at Districts, and finishing 4th at the PIAA State Championships. She also took 4th at the prestigious Penn Relays before returning to Franklin Field in June to win the New Balance National Championship. In the high jump, Schneider earned a 6th-place State medal, was the LL League champion, and took 3rd at Districts. Her range was further on display in the 800m, where she won the County title, placed 3rd at the LL League meet, and ran a season-best 2:14.7. She also helped Cedar Crest win District gold in the 4x800m relay.

Boys

Jacob Burgess (Palmyra / Sr.)

Burgess showcased his versatility as both a sprinter and long jumper, winning the Lebanon County title in the Long Jump and finishing 7th at the PIAA State Championships with a best of 24’3.5”. He also claimed county titles in the 100m and 200m and helped lead Palmyra’s 4x100m relay to a District 3 title and a bronze medal at States. The relay team posted one of the fastest times in state history (41.24). He also served on Palmyra’s 4x400m team that placed 8th at Districts, helping the Cougars clinch the District 3 Team Championship. Next year, Burgess will compete at the University of Pittsburgh.

Tyler Burgess (Palmyra / Sr.)

Burgess capped off an extraordinary high school career by repeating as the PIAA State Champion in both the 110m High Hurdles and 300m IM Hurdles. He set a PIAA record of 13.63 in the 110m prelims and ran a blistering 13.28 earlier in the season—one of the fastest times in U.S. high school history. He served as a key contributor to Palmyra’s District-winning 4x100m, which finished 3rd in the State, and podium-finishing 4x400m relays. Burgess also leaves with District 3 records in both hurdles events. He will continue his career at Texas Tech.

Travis Furmanski (Cedar Crest / Jr.)

A distance standout, Furmanski delivered a record-setting year, placing 7th in the 3200m at the PIAA State Championships with a Cedar Crest school record of 9:12.53. He also captured county titles in both the 1600m and 3200m, posting a season-best 4:20.07 in the mile and a 2nd-place finish at Districts in the 3200m.
