By Stephanie Harvey
Promotions Editor

The boys indoor track team participated in two meets this past week: the Ed Poreda Invitation at Lawrenceville on Jan. 29 and another meet at Glenn Mills on Jan. 31.

At Lawrenceville, senior Dan Lentz narrowly missed winning a medal in the long jump. The top five finishers in each event win a medal but Lentz took sixth with a jump of 19 feet, 9.5 inches—a personal record.

Neshaminy had a much better showing at Glenn Mills, winning several medals. The 4 x 800 meter relay won gold and qualified for the Meet of Champions. The relay team consisted of seniors Anthony Murray, Eric Chapman, Ben Matzke, and David Marrington. Senior R.J. Boop also qualified for the Meet of Champions, taking fourth in the 400 meter dash with a time of 54.00 seconds.
