So to get the focus on the upcoming track season, I will mention a few standout track athletes to keep on your radar for the indoor season.
Russell Smith; Senior, East Stroudsburg University.
Smith, a two-time All-American is entering his senior season as the defending champion from the 2009 PSAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet in the 110 Meter Hurdles. In the race he scorched the field with a time of 14.41 seconds, as second place was a little more than two tenths behind. The time was his career best and also a new school record in the event. Smith went onto run at the 2009 NCAA D-II Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 110m Hurdles, but did not advance to the finals, despite running a respectable time of 14.47. photo courtesy of ESU athletics Kevin Raymond; Sophomore, IUP.
Raymond is coming off a great debut season as he took first in the 400 Meter at the 2009 PSAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship with a time of 46.80 (six tenths ahead of the final heat). He also placed third in the 200-meter dash in a time of 21.54. Raymond raced to an All-American fifth place finish in the 2009 NCAA D-II Outdoor Track and Field Championships, with a time of 46.77. In the same meet he competed on the Crimson Hawks’ 4x100m relay team, which took eighth place and All-American honors, running 41.76, respectively. photo courtesy of IUP athleticsBen Hatch; Sophomore, IUP.
Hatch finished 1:51.84 in the 800 meter-run event at the 2009 PSAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet, which earned him first place honors. He won by just over a second, out-lasting Slippery Rock junior, Phil Rector in the race. Hatch competed in the 2009 NCAA D-II Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet, running 1:53.22 in a preliminary heat for the 800m, but failed to advance to the finals.
