Frazier ranked highly
Area athletes will have to overcome their seeding if there is to be a strong local Class 3A presence in Shippensburg next weekend at the PIAA Track and Field Championships.
Only five athletes and relay teams from the Mirror coverage area garnered top seeds in the performance lists for Thursday’s District 6 Class 3A meet, which will be held at Mansion Park. The winner of each event qualifies for states, as do others that achieve a predetermined standard.
Hollidaysburg’s Darcie Frazier has the best chance to make a splash. The Lady Tiger junior is the top seed in the girls 200-meter dash and part of the top-ranked four-by-400-meter relay team. Frazier also has reached the PIAA qualifying distance in the long jump, where she’s seeded second.
Altoona’s Gianna Caputo is seeded first in the 100 hurdles. Lindsey Hallinan of Altoona also could make it to states if she can replicate her seeding distance in the discus.
A pair of Altoona boys are in position to make it to states. Tyler Delozier is tied with State College’s Luke Knipe for the top seed in the pole vault, while Michael Folcarelli is the top seed in the javelin.
Altoona’s Connor Adams (100) and Altoona’s 400 relay have made the PIAA qualifiying standard earlier this year.
The meet is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. with track trials, while field events start at 4.
Here is a list of the top three seeds in each event. PIAA qualifying standards are in parentheses.
