Second Annual Coventry Lions Coed Relay a Success!

May 2008

The second annual Coventry Lions Coed Relays were held Tuesday May 21.  It was a great day for a track meet as eleven of the sixteen events established new meet records.  Lionville (Downingtown) Middle School led the way with six new records, three of them coming in the weight class 4X100 Meter Relays - 90 lb, 105 lb and 120 lb. Owen J. Roberts Middle School set four new records - all open class (any weight) 4 X 100, 4x200, 4 x400 and the Shuttle Hurdles.  Pottstown Middle School had the other meet record winning the Sprint Medley (200-100-100-400).

Members of the Coventry Lions worked and officiated the meet along with the OJR High School track team athletes. Ken Hollinger was the PIAA official and starter for the meet.

The meet was the main fund raiser for the Coventry Lions this year.  With help from its many sponsors, the club raised over $3500. The sponsors are listed on this site.
