Hollidaysburg, PA — Trying to follow up a perfect evening, like last night's Award's Picnic, is always hard to do, especially when dealing with a 2025 season that Mother Nature wants to keep miserable. Well, Ms Nature most certainly is a Tiger @ Heart ❤️ since the rains stopped and at times, she shone brightly on the Tigers. The first ever Golden Tiger 9th-10th Invitational was a success. Mixing in Senior Night made the afternoon even better. The 4 other teams in attendance were talking about keeping it going, especially as a last chance type qualifier for their District Meet. All the meet workers were Athletes, from those running the field events, the Timers, made up of the Tigers Distance team, The Clerks, the grounds workers and even Anthony DeStefano doing the Finishlynx Timing and race evaluations! There was no team score kept for this event. This coach's highlight of the day was the 4 Sr Girls, 3 throwers & a pole vaulter asking to run a 4x4 to close out their Lady Tiger Career's. Hats off to Katie Klingner, Maddie McLauren, Olivia Miknis and Leah Petrunak for adding that cherry on top of a great 2 days! Go Tigers!

Loretto, PA — So the 2025 LHAC Championships is in the books and when the sun finally came out, the Tigers were shinning bright! A fitting end to any track meet, both the boys and girls 4x400M Relay Team were winners, with the girls finishing in a Seasons Best time that was also .13 hundredths off the school record. The Boys team was again led by Isaac Yarnell who was a 3 even individual winner, capturing the 100m, 200m, 400m and also ran a leg on the winning 4x400m team. Other boys earning podium spots include, 4x800 team of Andrew Chestney, Sebastian Diaz, Gannon Zonts and Brady Lewis, Braelyn Ross, Dean Sunderland, Reuben Manfred, Cole Delattre, Christian White, Jefferson McCoy, Hunter Albright and Carter Belton-Ruiz.

Hollidaysburg, PA — The Tigers will be proud to host the first 6 team invitational for 9-10 grade athletes from the LHAC. The purpose of this meet is to give those underclassmen who didn’t compete in the regular LHAC Championships or will run in the district meet, a last opportunity to compete before the season ends. This meet will be hosted and run by the Tiger Senior Athletes who will be event judges, timers, clerks and announcers for this meet.

Loretto, PA — With last seasons entrance into the LHAC, the Tigers were faced with something that is kinda unheard of in the world of sports. Unless you were the “winner” of one of the two sub conferences in the LHAC, you didn’t get to Score for the Championships. That meant, our boys, who happened to loose to Central due to a field trip that took 1/2 the team and 4 of the highest scoring boys on the team, were NOT eligible for the Overall Title. When the dust, and Randy Wilson finally settled, the boys outscored the the 2 teams that were scoring for the title by over 100 points each!

Altoona, PA — What was once known as the West Central Coaches meet, the Altoona Classic is a mirror image of State Meet with entries broken down into the 2 classes, AA and AAA. Each class will compete in separate heats and many times at different locations around Mansion Park. This annual meet begins at 12:30 with the throwing events. The Track events kick off at 1:30 with the trials for the 100, Hurdles, 200 and the finals of the 4x800 relay. This meet lasts well into the evening with the 4x400 typically run after 9:30pm. Loads of talent will be in attendance, including the states #1 runner in the 200 and 400.

Clearfield, PA — With an impending storm, Clearfield was able to start the field events early

Philadelphia, PA — The Boys 4x4 squad at Penn set a seasons best time, missing out on a podium spot finishing 4th. A sub 48 sec leg by Isaac Yarnell brought the Tigers back, however if the finish line was another 5 yds away, Isaac catches him for 3rd.

Wingate, PA — Both the Tigers Track and Field Teams remained undefeated in dual meets so far this season with wins over both BEA and PO. No score was kept with BG since they have a very small contingent of athletes. For the girls, Kate Steiner and Emily Clapper were double winners. Elizabeth Frazier, Taylor Muth, Adalai Carney and Isabella Basenback were the other event winners. Other lady Tigers taking a top 3 finish were Brinley Bilthuis, Anna Statler, Taylor Buss, Leah Pugh, Addison Basenback, Helanai Williams, Leah Petrunak, Lauryn Brick, Payton Muth, Evie Sipes and Madison McLaurin.

Wingate, PA — The Golden Tigers travel to Bald Eagle for a LHAC meet with Phillipsburg-Osceola and BG. After the marathon day @ Shipp, it will be good for both the athletes physical and mental state. I mean, c’mon, but where does a Golden Tigers run a 10.55 in the 100m dash, shattering his own school record, only to take 4th? That was the kind of competition that was on display at Shipp. With this meet and next weeks rescheduled meet @ Clearfield, the Tiger will be finished with the LHAC regular season.

Shippensburg , PA — An early Easter this year means Shipp will happen over Easter Weekend. The Shipp invite has morphed the last few years from the original AA and AAA formats like the state meet, the new format blends Both classes together for a high quality meet featuring state level athletes around the state. This meet presents itself as a meet that will be harder than our District Meet. With high entry standards, the Tigers are taking a contingent on 21 athletes, boys/girls combined. Expect a Long, Long Day as the first event is set to start at 9am and the 4x400 relay, the last event, is scheduled for 5:40pm. 🤞for nice weather, since the girls will need to “work on that tan” for the prom in May!

Clearfield, PA — The Tigers will travel up the Mountain for am LHAC Meet with Bellefonte and Clearfield. Both of these schools have been 2 of the stronger teams on the Tigers schedule and it seems to always come down to the wire. Mother Nature will play a big role AGAIN tomorrow as there is expected to be high winds and temps in the 40’s, typical bi-polar Spring Weather in Pennsyltuckey!

Altoona, PA — So today’s 9th-10th graders meet at Mansion was one for the memory books of those athletes that braved the elements. While a handful of athletes had season’s best times, others from both teams were content to run in their watered down, now heavy cotton sweats. However, there was 1 athlete spotted jumping with his hooded down puffy jacket!

Hollidaysburg, PA — Yesterday’s meet was a contrast to what the day was starting to be, blue skies, a little breeze, loads of athletes and everything all set…….Then Technology rears its ugly head, which was discovered during the 2nd event of the day. For whatever reason, there were No Central girls entered in the meet, all the boys were but NO GIRLS. Meet came to a standstill as we tried to figure out why! When the Time/Space/Continuum set in, Fuzz took over doing a little old school mixed with a little new school to get back underway. Thnx Fuzz!

Hollidaysburg, PA — This years Senior Night Celebration will take place at our Home LHAC Meet with Central/Jtown/Chestnut Ridge. The Sr Recognition will take place between the 400M Dash and the 300M Hurdles. With a 3:45 start, 3teams involved, a rough guess would be after 4:15.

Hollidaysburg, PA — With a team missing All of its scoring athletes, the boys lost for the 1st time this year to Richland 80-70. 1 missing athlete turns this loss into another win for the Tigers. Nolan Buffone recorded 2 PR’s in winning 2 events for the first time in his high school career, taking the LJ and TJ. The distance squad held their own with Sebastian Diaz taking the 800m, Sam Chestney winning the 1600m and Dean Sunderland-Ebersole dominating the 3200m. Carter Elton-Ruiz was the Tigers other lone winner. Other point winners were Carter Muth 100m and 200m, Andrew Chestney 400m, Reuben Manfred 1600m, Abe Manfred 1600m, Yvan Chen 3300m, Braelyn Ross 110m and 300m Hurdles, Jefferson McCoy and Ben Zimmerman Shot, Christian White Discus and Ben Zimmerman Javelin.

Hollidaysburg, PA — The Tigers will play host to Richland on Thursday 4/3. This will be the First meeting between these 2 programs. After researching recent results against Bedford, the Lady Tigers are in for a fight. A quick scoring of our best vs their best gives them a win by 2 pts, just what happened at the LHAC Championships where we lost to Bedford 76-74! The girls 4x400 is a Dead Heat Time wise so this should be a great meet. Mother Nature may play a big role tomorrow!

Bellwood, PA — After a long day at the Igloo Meet, the Golden Tigers open their road campaign with a short trip north to Bellwood to run in an LHAC meet against Bellwood and Tyrone. Both these programs were also represented well at the Igloo so it looks to be a close meet. Tyrone has depth to their program they haven’t had before and Bellwood always has a contingent of throwers that have caused us problems in the past. I know coach Ulery has had to deal with having a roster that is too big for a bus. This season, the first for the girls, our numbers are ALSO bigger than what will fit on a bus, making it necessary to leave kids behind.

Altoona, PA — What started as a rainy, wet day, ended with a gorgeous day for the Igloo. Facing athletes from 29 different schools, the Golden Tigers came to represent. When the live results were posted before the meet, it was noted that the Boys Long Jump had 52 entries, Girls Triple was 54 and we needed to run 3 races of the 3200M! The Tigers were paced today by our 2 talented Srs. Isaac Yarnell and Emily Clapper. Isaac was the winner of all the sprints the 100M, 200M and 400M, while Emily won the 100M and finished 2nd in a huge field of long jumpers, missing out on the win by 3/4 of an inch! Other Tigers making the podium were for the girls were Lauryn Brick shot, Adalai Carney 1600M, Elizabeth Frazier 200M, 4x100Relay of Lydia Desort, Taylor Muth, Anna Statler and Elizabeth Frazier and the 4x400m Relay of Elizabeth Frazier, Sophia Moyer, Adalai Carney and Emily Clapper. For the boys Wyatt Maines Discus, Jefferson McCoy Shot, Cole Delattre Triple Jump, Braelyn Ross 110m hurdles and 300m hurdles, Carter Muth 100m, Dean Sunderland-Ebersole 1600M, 4x800 Relay of Isaac Tryninewski, Nathan Kanish, Sebastian Diaz and the 4x400m relay of Isaac Yarnell, Braelyn Ross, Andrew Chestney and Sebastian Diaz.

Altoona, PA — 2025 Season's first major invitational, the Altoona Igloo, most always stays true to its name being either cold, rainy, snowy or a mix of all 3. If it is gorgeous for the Igloo, then the rest of the season will be a weather nightmare. Historically attracting teams from across the state, it isn't unusual for the Igloo to play host to over 20 teams of both AA and AAA status, all competing together. There is No Team Score kept just the opportunity to compete against some of the best athletes from around the state.

Hollidaysburg, PA — A quick turnaround and the Tigers are back at it with another Home LHAC meet against Huntingdon and Phillipsburg-Oaceola on Tuesday March 25. With the return from Walt Disney World, a large number of Tiger Athletes will be competing for their 1st time this season.
