District 3 track live results

May 212011

I hardly know what to say. First of all, the weather today is first-rate; it feels like hitting a $500 scratch-off.

Second, I’m attending my first spring sports event of the year (not kidding; would you go out in the rain if you were a broken old fart like me?). Fortunately, it’s one of my favorites: The District 3 Track and Field Championships.

Inasmuch as I’m here in an official District 3 capacity as webmaster (yep, it’s what I do), I won’t be blabbing on and on like I did last year.

Rather, I’m throwing up the link to the live results below. If something crazy happens, I’ll make a comment or two. Otherwise, I’m strictly business (very boring).

DISTRICT 3 TRACK AND FIELD LIVE RESULTS

I’ll post the PIAA Track and Field Championships performance lists at some point on Sunday. The reason I’m so vague about the time is because I won’t be near the laptop on Sunday; I will be in State College for induction into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame. needless to say, I am very grateful for the honor.

In the meantime, enjoy the track and field. In fact, click here for the District 3 track and field page for some limited records and history. All of that history will appear on RodFrisco.com once I’m able to update after the meet.

The new Mifflin County High School is poised to become a member of the Mid-Penn Conference for the 2012-2013 school year.

The new school, a merger of Indian Valley and Lewistown high schools that was approved by the Mifflin County School Board last week, will be in place next school year if current Mifflin County School District plans move forward. At current, there is no indication that anything will interrupt those plans, but with school mergers, anything can happen.

But here is what has happened: Indian Valley and Lewistown, both members of the Mountain League, were booted out of the Mountain League in 2012-2013, although the new school will have Mountain League schedules in most, if not all, sports for the next school year.

With the new school, which will be a mid-sized Class AAAA school in football and basketball, thrown out of the Mountain League, it is highly likely that the Mid-Penn Conference will accept the new school as a full member at the start of the next cycle.

On Thursday, the Mid-Penn Conference, as anticipated, accepted State College as an all-sports member; the Little Lions had been a football-only member since 2004. With Mifflin County between State College and Harrisburg, it makes adding Mifflin County a little more palatable to the Mid-Penn.

So palatable, in fact, the conference has included the Mifflin County school in its 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 schedules as a league member, despite the fact that no formal action has been taken on the Mifflin County matter.

In fact, the Mid-Penn, meeting at the same time as the Mountain League and unaware of the ML’s actions, would likely have passed the alignments that included Mifflin County had it not been for requests by Trinity and Steelton-Highspire to change basketball divisions. The conference will vote electronically next Wednesday on the alignments once Steel-High and Trinity resolve the issue. Assuming the Mifflin County school is included in those alignments, as they were on Wednesday, that’s a pretty good indication Mifflin County will have smooth sailing to Mid-Penn membership.

Sometimes I get on here and just blabber.

Sometimes I just provide links.

Sometimes I make people mad with my rankings or opinions.

Sometimes I even have someone agree with me.

But always, always, I wish the very best for everyone – athlete or not, coach or not, parent or not – because to think anything less would make me less than I can and should be.

I thank everyone for their patronage of RodFrisco.com this year. But far more than that, I wish everyone – Christian or otherwise – a very happy, safe and wonderful Christmas and holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all.
