The Cougars went on the road and won a tight matchup over Keystone rival Hershey. Jacob Burgess led the way with three individual wins in the 100m (11.17), 200m (22.60), and Long Jump (21’3”). In both sprints, it was Travis McDannell finishing 2nd and scoring valuable points. Tyler Burgess won the 110m High Hurdles (14.53) and 300m IM Hurdles (38.58), with Jonathan McDannell close behind to take 2nd in both races. The Burgess and McDannell brothers would also team up to win the 4x100m (43.18).

Also on the Track, Luke Vottero won the 400m (52.43), which was a prelude to the Cougars winning the meet with the 4x400m victory to finish the day.

In the Field, Andrew Manning won the Shot Put (45’5”). Cade Palmer finished 2nd in the Javelin with a 159’3”, just 1” behind the winner from Hershey. It is worth noting that Mason Bucks did not compete, but Palmyra’s depth, led by individuals like Jon Beam, helped to win the meet. Beam finished 2nd in the High Jump and Triple Jump while also taking 3rd in the Long Jump.

Overall, it was a team effort that helped to get by a very talented crew from Hershey. Palmyra is now 5-0 in the dual meet season.
