With two Tri-Valley League meets remaining this season – both scheduled for this week – the Millersburg girls’ track and field team is undefeated and in a very strong position to claim the league’s dual meet championship for 2013.

Meanwhile, the Upper Dauphin Area girls’ side earned two TVL wins, defeating East Juniata April 25 and Juniata  81-69 April 23. (Results from the EJ meet are published this week.)

Millersburg vs. Greenwood, April 23. The host Tribe girls’ 90-60 win against the defending TVL champion Wildcats was their second of the season and featured a first-place sweep in every track event. The Indians also scored more points against the ’Cats than they had in their previous outing.

The Greenwood boys – also defending titleholders – took Millersburg 98-52.

‘‘This was an outstanding team effort by these girls,’’ Head Coach Jill Steffen said. ‘‘They truly know what it means to believe in each other and work toward the common goal.’’

Steffen noted that Kayla Kelley won three of the track events and that, in the 100, second-place Kylee Sorichetti beat a Greenwood runner who had defeated her for the past three seasons. Catherine Amoriello, Taylor Miller and Amber Laudenslager also were commended for their contributions.

On the boys’ side, she particularly praised the work of hurdler Chad Meko, jumpers Travis Lamereaux and Josh Howard; and 4X100 and 4X800 relayers and two-milers Alex McMullen, Stephen Berger and Austin Landry.

‘‘While the boys lost, I am proud of their sportsmanship,’’ Steffen said. ‘‘(Greenwood Head Coach) Tom Magill complimented the distance team, especially the (two mile) runners ... It is amazing to watch these three work together ... I stood back and watched two schools (Halifax and Millersburg) perform as one.’’ 

‘‘They encouraged and cheered each other on like there was not six miles between them. They were one team with one goal,” she added.

Millersburg team members also shook hands and complimented the visiting Greenwood athletes, Steffen noted.

Following are Millersburg’s  place winners. All track events are measured in meters.
