Abington Heights provided a hint that its girls track and field dynasty is not likely to end any time soon when it won the Class 3A girls team championship May 9 in the Phil Tochelli Lackawanna Track Conference Junior High Meet at Western Wayne.

Anna Pucilowski led the way with three record-breaking performances – two individually and one as a relay team anchor. All three efforts broke records established by other Abington Heights runners.
Pucilowski won the 800-meter run in 2:32.21, breaking the mark set by Allison Dammer at 2:32.65 in 2018. She won the 3200 in 5:20.82, shattering Maia Arcangelo’s record of 5:29.86 in 2019.
