BOYS TRACK & FIELD
Chambersburg 84, State College 66: J.J. Kelly had a hand in four victories Thursday afternoon to help the Trojans earn a key Mid Penn Commonwealth win over the Little Lions at Memorial Stadium.
Kelly hit a personal best 6-8 to win the high jump, and also collected wins in the long jump (22-9.25) and triple jump (46-3.25). He also ran the anchor leg (in 50.2) on the winning 4 x 400 relay team, teaming with Addison Bisbal, Daniel Casagrandi and Tanner Meyers to hit the line in 3:20.35.
Chambersburg (4-0, 4-0 MPC) had a pair of double winners — Ari Snyder won the 1600 in 4:29.34 and came back to take the 3200 in 9:57.50, while Peter Mertz was victorious in the shot put (49-11.5) and the discus (162-3).
The only other winner for the Trojans was Bisbal, who ran a 52.78 to take the 400.
Chambersburg used its depth to grab plenty of second- and third-place points.
Trojan coach Bob Walker said, “Everyone competed at a high level today. These were very big wins for both teams. Doing two dual meets in three days is not easy, and our athletes are tired and need some recovery.”

Chambersburg 89, State College 61: Camryn Kiser and Natalia Holmes put in strong performances on the track and the Trojan throwers swept all three events to carry their team to a big Mid Penn Commonwealth win over the Little Lions at Memorial Stadium on Thursday afternoon.
“Kiser and Holmes were asked to do a ton today and they were involved in six wins,” Chambersburg coach Chris Monheim said. “The throwers, led by (Ashley) Gunkelman’s two wins, took 27 of 27 available points. I was super impressed with our 4 x 400 relay girls, who won in an outstanding time (4:10.97 on very tired legs.”
The relay included Lashae Hang, Yosmary Cabrera Reyes, Olivia Coy and Holmes. Holmes won the 100 in 12.30 and the 200 in 25.85. Kiser dominated the distance events for the Trojans (4-0, 4-0 MPC), finishing first in the 800 (2:25.56), 1600 (5:10.11) and 3200 (11:47.77) races.

Monheim said, “Sayruby Orgando Reyes had the surprise result of the day with a huge win and personal best in the high jump at 5-2. And Cayce Elbin won the pole vault again with a great 9-3 clearance.”
