This week’s schedule proved to be very important in the Lackawanna Track Conference division races.

Everything began Monday with a doubleheader at Abington Heights where it hosted Scranton Prep in a matchup of undefeated teams in both boys and girls track and field. Then, Wednesday, Montrose swept the boys and girls meets in a Division IV showdown of undefeated teams.

 

DIVISION I CLASH

 

 

Abington Heights looked very strong in both meets. As is always the case in the girls division, the Lady Comets were impressive and ran their winning streak to 76 straight dual meets.

That number alone is staggering, but the truth is, in a sport like track and field where their are 5 or even 4 meets a season, the run of success is remarkable.

 

 

 

 

HERE IS THE LAST TIME ABINGTON HEIGHTS LOST AN LTC MEET

 

 

MAY 8, 2006

 

DELAWARE VALLEY 77.5, ABINGTON HEIGHTS 72.5

 

Laura Sullivan had a big day in the sprints and Delaware Valley took command of the meet in the throwing events to beat Abington Heights 77.5-72.5 Monday in a Lackawanna Track Conference Division I showdown of unbeaten teams.
The Lady Warriors (6-0), who won their third straight division title, outscored the Lady Comets, 19-8, in the throwing events as Stephanie Dabaghian and Erin Morrison won the shot put and discus.
Sullivan won the 100 and 200 as the Lady Warriors also held a 19-8 edge in the 100, 200 and 400.
