January 31, 1998
The hours of fatigue and effort are beginning to pay off. Tremendous PRs, surprise performances, Championship efforts. The sectionals was an historic meet all around--record breaker Jamaal Matthews is the Prep's 1st 55 meter medalist in 9 years, no fewer than 6 scorers in the Pole vault events, a victory in the 2 mile relay led by Daryn Johnson who also posted the area's best 1000 meter time this year. The list goes on..read below. 16 championship medals were won--a source of great pride.

Track Notes
Great races, so many PRs its hard to choose. Let's give it to some Frosh who "stepped up" to get a solid third place finish. Double PR men Mark Greiss, Lou Salvatore, Idris Payne and Dave Ye get the MIP award, but special mention to the Frosh 800m Relay as well. Also, congrats to John carpenter on his record tying performance, and to Jamaal Matthews for his fine day as well.
