High School Track and Field Season Kicks Off in Beaver Valley

As the spring sunshine warms up the Beaver Valley, high school athletes are lacing up their shoes and preparing for an exciting track and field season in 2025. With fresh faces and returning champions, there’s a buzz of anticipation in the air, as students hope to shine on the field and make their mark in local history.

Ready, Set, Compete!

The countdown is on with athletes from various schools racing against the clock for their moment of glory. Each team is gearing up, training hard, and eyeing the big competitions that lie ahead. With District and WPIAL qualifiers on the horizon, the spirit of competition is palpable.

Headlines and Highlights

This season brings some standout stories to watch. For the girls’ team from one local school, they are returning three WPIAL qualifiers: Maria Depner, who dominates in discus, Lydia Delsite, excelling in long jump and triple jump, and Jaedin Griggs, who also specializes in triple jump. This team has high hopes of building on their seventh-place finish in the championship last year, especially with the return of their competitive 4×800 relay team.

On the boys’ side, records show a strong lineup with Paul Bronaugh, Jake Duncan, Samuel Herrera, and several other promising athletes who qualified for WPIAL championships. They have their eyes set on top-tier performances, hoping to break more personal records this season.

Stars on the Rise

West Allegheny’s girls’ team features notable returning athletes, including Haley Trosky, a silver medalist at WPIAL in both the 1,600m and 3,200m. Fans are eager to see her on the track again, along with Grace Fritzman and Ella Smith, who has made headlines as a finalist in the 300m hurdles. Meanwhile, the boys’ team is excited to have Roman Police back, who dazzled last season with a performance in the 100-meter dash.

Determined to Overcome

Despite last season’s challenges, teams like Ambridge are ready to flip the script. Last place in both boys’ and girls’ divisions has fueled their determination. Athletes are training with a renewed vigor, vowing to improve and repair their reputations.

Competitive Advantage

Other teams like Beaver Area look to build on their past success. With a solid squad featuring top underclassmen and experienced athletes like Tyler Biss and Isaac Burtt, there’s palpable optimism in the air. The team reflects a balance that could lead them to victory.

Rising Through the Ranks

Over at Blackhawk, both girls and boys are returning strong competitors. The girls’ team boasts Kaylee Coakley, a well-regarded contender in discus and shot put, while the boys count on Tyler Tritt, an experienced district qualifier in triple jump. The synergy and determination in both teams might be a recipe for success this coming season.

Out for Redemption

Teams like Beaver Falls and Aliquippa are keen to bounce back after disappointing seasons. DJ Williams is a highlight for Beaver Falls after placing second in the WPIAL 400m last year, while Aliquippa is looking for success with Qa’Lil Goode and JaAir McCracken returning.

What Lies Ahead

Looking ahead, excitement is building for signature meets including the Herb Schmidt Relays and Ray Geesey Invitational. Teams will be vying for division titles, with regular-season meets scheduled leading up to the YAIAA championships on May 7—followed quickly by the District 3 meet on May 16 and 17. The athletes are laser-focused, and the buzz around each event promises to create moments that could last a lifetime.

As the season unfolds, keep an eye on these emerging stars and the exciting storylines developing across the Beaver Valley. This year’s high school track and field season is sure to be filled with heart-pounding races and unforgettable achievements!
