On the distance side Kirstin Sandreuter has been re-writing the Mile & 2 mile records all winter. The Sr. girls 400m record went down last week at the feet of Corinn Bedell, can she break 60 this week? Jocelyn Lorrey of Traip is less than 4" away from the triple jump record if she gets on the board she'll have a shot. Denzel Tomaszewski equalled the Sr. 55m dash record last week, can he have his name in the record book all alone after Friday?
