It was easy to tell that the usually upbeat Coach Kolosky is feeling pretty good with how things are going at the 2017 Colonial league Track and Field Championships.  The meet is being held in conjunction with the East Penn Conference Championships at East Stroudsburg South High School.  So far, the drive up north has been well worth it for the Panthers.  Saucon Valley has crowned a couple of champions and placed a few more.  The Championships continue today and Saucon Valley will likely earn some more hardware. And, it is likely that a Colonial League Meet record or two could be broken!

  • Jr. Ethan Bernstein (Jr.)- 3,200 Meter Run (9:41)
