On Friday evening, the junior high track and field teams from across LebCo met up at Annville-Cleona to compete in the 12th edition of the Lebanon County Junior High Track and Field Championship Meet. The meet had been postponed from Saturday, April 29th, and the patience of the athletes was rewarded with much better weather. Much like the senior high athletes the previous night, the competition was fierce and made for quite the spectacle as it lived up to the fanfare. As with all junior high track and field events, it is important to remember that as the only major school sponsored sport in the spring season, it often can serve to create an early watch list for some of the names you will be seeing over the next few years.
On the Girls side, there were some outstanding performances worth mentioning. Palmyra’s Maddie Waldryon won the 100m and 200m. Waldryon’s teammate Amber McCurdy was a winner in the two distance events, the 800m and 1600m. Palmyra also went 1-2 in the Long Jump thanks to performances by Kate Lachance and Miranda Vankirk. Those place-winners set the pace for the Palmyra Girls to win the team title. Cedar Crest showed their might when it came to field events, with three wins in the High Jump (Dakota Dengler), Shot Put (Mikayla Fripps), and Discus (Mikaylyn Weaber). ELCO’s Madison Nelson finished the night with a gold (400m), silver (100m), and bronze (200m).
It was very much the same on the Boys side of the action, except it was Cedar Crest leading the way. The Falcon’s Jordan Anderson won the 100m and 200m races. Crest then won three of the four field events on their way to winning the team title. Among the winners was Hayden Snavely who won the High Jump. Snavely also was the winner in the 1600m, edging out Lebanon’s Samuel Hershey at the finish. Hershey did not leave Annville empty handed, as returned to the track to win the 800m. Also leaving with multiple individual medals was ELCO’s Griffin Kreider who took 2nd in the 100m and 200m and took gold in the 400m.
Below are all of the results that was made available. The top six finishers in each event factored into the team scoring.
