4/24-25/09 - 115th Penn Relays - Phila., PA
2 Records Broken, 1 Threatened

Andrew Hemmings began his Outdoor season the way he ended his CHSAA MVP Indoor season, with a terrific series of triple jumps, taking 8th place in the Penn Relays, culminating in a new school record 45'9" (currently #2 in NYS)!   Wayne Seaton also destroyed a venerated school record by taking 4th place (2nd American) in the 400m Hurdles in a state-leading 53.96 secs. 

The 4x400m Relay electrified the crowd as the first team of the day to break 3:20, running 3:18.68 and winning their heat.  The Prep and State Catholic Record of 3:17.0y still stands, and enters it's 5th decade this week.  The suspense builds......
