Hines needed a late kick to hold off Sacred Heart’s Makenzie Fisher in the 1,600. Also for the Panthers, Annalise Kuhn was seventh in the pole vault (10-0) and Hannah Spielman took eighth in the discus (108-5).ĭelco Christian has a 19-point lead on Dock Mennonite (50-31) in the race for the Class 2A team title thanks to victories from Ella Hines, Evezi Omuyeh and Sahdahya Addy. Hannah Puckett, Rowe Crawford, Audrey Stevens and Nora Chen took seventh but earned a state berth with a time of 9:21.49. Strath Haven also advanced in the 4 x 800. She was fourth in the 1,600 (5:09.00) and anchored the team of Hannah Puckett, Kelsie Robinson and Julia Scholtz to second in the 4 x 800. Penncrest freshman Ruby Schwelm came away with a pair of medals. She finished second in the 1,600 in a time of 5:03.01. Teammate Olivia Cieslak is also headed for the state meet. “One of my goals is to jump 6-0,” Jones said. She missed on all three of her attempts at 5-7, which would have equaled the county record that is shared by Upper Darby’s Claudine Andre, Penncrest’s Caitlin Redding and Springfield’s Susan Gaines. “I’m very excited about that,” Jones sasid.

Jones jumped a career-best 5-5 to take second place in the Class 3A high jump and earn her first trip to Shippensburg. The 6-2 sophomore who also is an outsider hitter on the Fords’ volleyball team has made the most of that opportunity. Injuries and the coronavirus pandemic prevented Haverford’s Sydney Jones from having a full season in track until this year. Her best was 11-6, a good height on a windy day. Sophomore Sophia Hill was fourth in the pole vault. Henkel wasn’t the only Raptor to come home with a medal. That automatically earned her a trip to Shippensburg next weekend for the PIAA state championship meet, and earned a huge roar from her Raptors teammates as she received her silver medal. The tough part was waiting around to find out where she’d place … which turned out to be second overall. She pretty much led from start to finish. Henkel won her heat in a Radnor school-record time of five minutes, 1.97 seconds. “I still did what I came here to do, which was to make states.” “I kind of had to roll with it,” Henkel said.

Not exactly the kind of news an athlete wants to hear moments before she is to run just the second metric mile of her career. Instead, she found out about two minutes before she took the track that she was in the first heat. She thought she was running in the second, or faster, of the two heats. Radnor’s Lucy Henkel was thrown a curve shortly before the Class 3A 1,600-meter run got under way Friday at the District 1 Track & Field Championships.
