ACSI !

Perhaps the single best overall day in the history of TCS Track. Not only did our Senior High Boys, Junior High Girls and Junior High Boys win their small school divisions, each also won the meet overall with the most points of any school in each of these divisions. MVPs for Daletyn Harris (first in 100 and 200, second in 400 and LJ) and Leah Wis (first in SP, Discus, High Jump [to seal the victory in the last event of the day], third in 800). Spectacular days for many including Josiah Hanko (first in 1600 and 3200), Paul Sullivan (first in 400), Jonathan Campbell (two very important wins, SP and Discus); Sarah Hansen and Lydia Harris; Marcus Prol and Oliver Budd; Aaron Hanko, Dan Larrazabal and Ben Smith; Hannah Campbell (a win in the 1600) and Rachel Buckley; Angela Martone and Katherine Buckley, Chris Rumeau, and I am sure I am missing significant performances. Such as all of our scoring relay teams and their members.

Well done! This was the essence of a team victory with many contributing to the final scores for each of our teams.

COMPLETE RESULTS CLICK HERE

A great day for TCS Track at Messiah College today, in less than ideal conditions. The meet had been threatened with flash flood warnings and some throwing events were canceled. There was a steady rain until noon or so and then broke for most of the afternoon.

Our boys team won our division of 16 schools, scoring 118 points (the final tally may differ slightly); with second place coming in at 63. We won everything on the track from the 400 to the 3200, the long jump and triple jump. Spectacular breakthrough race for Dan Larrazabal, coming in fourth in the 3200 with 20+ second PR. Wins for Paul Sullivan (400, 800, Long Jump); Josiah Hanko (1600, 3200); Aaron Hanko (Triple Jump); seconds for Jonathan Campbell (Shot Put); Ben Smith (800); Aaron Hanko (1600). Jonathan Campbell was 4th in 200; 4th in 400; and Ben Smith was third in the triple jump. Our 4x2 relay was second and our 4x4 relay finished off with a strong win at the end of the meet. A great day.

Our girls team of three came in third overall out of the 16 teams in our division. Katherine Buckley ran a strong race for second in the 3200(!); Angela Martone was second in the 400, third in the 100 and 6th in the Long Jump. Tabitha Harris was just outside of scoring, taking 7th in the Long Jump and 400. We had other points that I will post when I get the full meet results.

5-03-11 MACSA Junior High

The TCS Junior High Team competed at the MACSA meet at Messiah College. The boys team won the team championship, and the girls team, while scoring more points than the boys, came in second (of 15 schools). Our friends from Faith had a great day in taking the girls team championship. Our sincere congratulations to Jeff Eberhardt for the great job he has done there in four years.

Leah Wis won four events (SP, Discus, HJ and 800). Marcus Prol won the 800 and 1600. Daletyn Harris won the 400 and LJ (and was second in the 100 and 200); and a host of others had memorable days, including Oliver Budd, Sarah Hansen, Chris Rumeau, and others who we will post when we list all of the individual results (forgive me if I missed some important result here!).

National Christian School Athletic Association 4/30/11 Meet


Brief report from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The TCS Track team took the boys high school team and selected other athletes to the NCSAA national meet at Geneva College on Saturday April 30, 2011. The drive, especially coming home, was long. Our athletes did very well.

As with MACSA and ACSI, there are large school and small school divisions at NCSAA. Our boys high school team score the most points in the entire meet by a large margin. Our junior high girls also won their meet (we brought three athletes in this division) and Marcus Prol, our junior high boys team, came in second. Our two high schools girls also did well in their events.

Individual results will be posted later. However, we should point out that Paul Sullivan was High School Boys MVP (30.5 points) and Leah Wis was Junior High Girls MVP (36 points!). A spectcular day for Aaron Hanko with PRs in 800 and 1600 and a win (!) in the Triple Jump.

More when we process all meet results.
