Well, first and foremost, the weather held off and the 64th Jordan Relays were a success, again.

Great job by all of the athletes, of course, (more on that later), but also to our PIAA track officials who helped organize the awards’ ceremonies, collected names and kept the meet moving in a smooth fashion. Also to our PA people Cy Douiahy and Tony Cantafio — trust me getting all of the names correct is not easy. And to Scranton AD Ted Anderson, Meet Director Phil Tochelli and the staff at Scranton Memorial Stadium.

Congratulations to the champions, and all of the relay medal winners.

Now to some unfinished business. We have to put a bow on the 2019 Lackawanna Track Conference regular season. So, here we go.

After the season ended,championship traditions ruled.

RANKINGS

 

 

OK fans, after the 2019 season there are a lot of winning streaks that we are “tracking.” Now this is the first of a two-year cycle, so we can’t do much for the schedule, but the LTC officials should look into ways to 1) Create more dual meets, 2) Based on the data above create more balanced divisions, 3) Realign to only three divisions.

Here’s why:

 

  • Abington Heights Lady Comets: Have won 78 straight dual meets

 

  • Lakeland Lady Chiefs: Have won 41 straight dual meets

 

  • Lakeland Chiefs: Have won 40 straight dual meets

 

  • Montrose Meteors: Have won 35 straight LTC Division IV dual meets
