Season in full swing!

Well we are up and running on all fronts! Our van is on the road and we are so thankful to our donors for their generosity and faith in our program.

We had our season opener at Loyola Relays on March 16th. We ran two teams Panthers Black and Panthers Gold. Panthers black was victorious in the 4x200m with a time of 1:37 placing 9th overall. We have a whole group of new faces tothis year and we expect big things now that the cobwebs are all shaken out. Panthers Black was also victorious in the 4x100m @ 45.8. The Penn Relays countdown has commenced so we will be working those handoffs to perfection. We are looking for 43s this season, we have the talent.

MIAA/IAAM leauge opener was March 27 and we had a better showing of the Panthers Gold running a 4x200m in 1:36.00 it was a cold day but at least it didn't rain. And for that we are grateful. Our 800m runner PRd by 15 secs! And we ran a 4x400 and we were darn proud do it, even if it was cold!
Our girls were represented and placed in the 200m and the 100m! GO Panthers!

Geared Up and Ready to Go!!

I'm excited...things are progressing so well with our team. We have our van, with special thanks to NSAF (photos forthcoming). Our first meet is March 16th at Loyola Blakefield, the Loyola Relays. Looking forward to a full invitational season leading up to the Penn Relays. We are not without our challenges, but that is all they are, challenges that we will rise to. My Seniors are ready to close out their high school T&F careers on a celebratory note, complete with medals and PRs. Our schedule is competitive (publication forthcoming) and our staff is fine tuned. Our uniforms just came in and they look great!
