Berks athletes head to the District 3 Boys Track and Field Championships this weekend with 12 top seeds, including five for Oley Valley in Class 2A. The two-day meet starts Friday at Shippensburg University and concludes Saturday. In Class 3A, the top five finishers advance to the PIAA Championships the following weekend at Shippensburg.
In 2A, the top two finishers advance. Competitors who do not automatically qualify can advance if they better the state qualifying standard in the district meet. Oley Valley’s top seeds are Ryan Gourley (3,200), Aspen Freed (110 hurdles) and Jacob Mackie (pole vault) in individual events.
The Lynx are the top seed in the 4 x 400 and 4 x 800 relays.
