Mike Podlesnik

[bball22]

Mike Podlesnik from Salisbury (NOT MEYERSDALE) = 1600m STATE CHAMPION. I thought he had a good chance of winning it. Talking to Mike yesterday after he made it to the finals i could tell he really thought he could win the mile. And he DID!! Congrats MIKE!

Any debate about Donaldson being on the same level as Podlesnik now? I think not. Podlesnik ran a 4.18, with the next finisher coming in at 4.20. Pood's previous personal best was a 4.23. Looks like he really ran a heck of a race

Pood comes up big in the 800m with a 3rd place finish in that event. Good showing for Mike, who still has another year left...

donaldson never said he was on the same level he never says anything on here or anything he just goes out and runs as hard as he can cant take anything away from him he got 5th as a 10th grader and everyone who placed ahead of him was a senior he could very well win the 400m his junior year

[bigcat41]

Mitchell, you are right...And I guess I just missunderstood a past post...Podlesnik has his strengths, and so does Donaldson...They're both great athletes, and I apologize for the mix up (Me removing my foot from my mouth)

Nothing against the Donaldson boy but he might be in 10th grade but he is as old as some of those seniors!!! He is 17 years old!!!!!!!!! I know 10th graders he ran against that are only 15 and still growing.....if you are comparing stay with facts!! They have a chance next year too. He will be 19 his senior year!

So, does that mean that Donaldson will lose his eligibilty his senior year?? I believe there is an age limit in the PIAA.

[Sneakers]

Ah.....No....His age is fine for two more seasons of competition.

[sportsminded]

They said he will turn 19 years old right after the PIAA cut-off date. Great advantage those extra 2 years! It shows...But once again I will state that others will be maturing also that are of normal age for being a sophmore. Good Luck the next 2 years!!

[jumper22]

yeah, not sure when or what the cut off is for sure, but i also beleive that Troy Harris was a 19 year old senior as well. Could be wrong, but i think i was told that before.
