Panther Track & Field Welcomes Warriors In Home Opener

On a windy and a bitterly chilly day, Saucon Valley’s Joslynn Rose skies high in the pole vault.

It’s April and the Saucon Valley Panther Track and Field team finally got outdoors on their home venue to run, jump, throw and compete in all other things that track and field athletes do.  On Thursday, the Panthers hosted the Wilson Warriors in their home-opening dual-meet matchup.

Thursday’s competition is one of the last on Saucon Valley’s antiquated cinder track.  The Panther community finally welcomes the installation of an all-weather track that should be finished for the start of the 2018-2019 school year!
