Locals compete at Lasagna Invitational

Tunkhannock’s boys and Dallas’ girls feasted on Lasagna Friday.

The Tigers jumped out ahead of Holy Redeemer for the boys title and the Lady Mountaineers edged out Holy Redeemer for the girls title at the Eighth Annual Lasagna Invitational at Wyalusing.

The meet has become a premier event for the best of PIAA’s District 2 and 4 track and field teams to see just how good they are a little less than three weeks ahead of their own respective PIAA district meets.

Some nine meet records were shattered along the way Friday.

Included in those were the following records broken by Elk Lake: Mike Bedell’s 800 meter run in one minute 56.89,  seconds and the 4×800 meter relay team of Sean Carney, Bedell, Bryan Grosvenor, and Will Bennett who ran in a time of 8:02.06 besting the Elk Lake previous record set in 2010 of 8:03.49.
