ALTOONA, Pa. – Four local athletes or relay teams earned gold during Wednesday’s District 6 Class 2A track and field championships at Mansion Park Stadium, which featured a two-hour weather delay. Forest Hills senior Mylee Glessner set a meet record in the 110-meter hurdles, and sophomore teammate Bella Ascherl earned gold in the 3200.
Richland junior Natalia Mavridis was the winner in the 800, and Central Cambria’s Delaney Snyder, Alaina Long, Makenzie Hite and Paige Alexander prevailed in the 3200 relay with a time of 9:30. 39, won by 20. 11 seconds over Bellwood-Antis.
Bellwood-Antis collected the team title with 96 points. Central Cambria (82), Forest Hills (78), Richland (76) and Tyrone (74) followed. The top three in each 2A event advance to the PIAA championships May 22-23 in Shippensburg unless a state-qualifying standard was met.
The 3A winners in every event move on. Glessner clocked a 14. 93 to set a new district standard.
“Actually, it feels amazing,” said Glessner, a Seton Hill University signee. “I actually thought it was 14. 91, but I guess I got it.
