Philadelphia, Pa. 1/19/25 - A huge step up from Lehigh's Rauch Field House, U of Penn's new indoor track facility (Ott Center) gave us the opportunity to run fast and we did. In a meet where almost all of our athletes ran personal bests, the final two events of the day were the cherry(s) on top. The 4x2 team of Dominic Harvey-Sheppard, Amari Nash, Q West and Zion Ford won the event in 1:30.00, #2 ranked state-wide (#1 Souderton 1:29.03) and only .12 off our school record. The next event, the 4x4, was a surprise as three of the four were coming off either illness or injury. Jayden Davis (covid), Aiden Wescott (pneumonia) and Xavier Johnson (hamstring) all ran personal bests up front before handing off to anchor Jonah Sydney (49.97). He tracked CB East anchor but fell just short in 2nd place. 3:25.24 puts us at #3 PA behind CB East and North Penn. (Jonah's 49.97 marks the 52nd Wissahickon athlete to split sub-50 sec for 400 indoors or out in school history.)Meanwhile on the distance
