Girls' track championships: Gold rush for Lynne MooradianMatt Goul | GameTimePA</p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner class=spacer-large min-height=600 fluid outstream momentum></partner-banner><p><b><a href="link here"><p>On a mobile device? Click here to see Mooradian's performance</p></a></b></p><p>Hustling to the medal stand, nearly breathless after the 300-meter hurdles, Lynne Mooradian reached the midfield turf at Dallastown High School — her temporary home.</p><p>The South Western junior, who won four league gold medals last year, equaled that standard again Friday night during the YAIAA track and field championships. This haul was more difficult because of that 300 hurdles.</p><p>Mooradian picked up the event last summer during her indoctrination to the heptathlon, and she decided on competing in the hurdles instead of the 400 relay this year.</p><p>"It was just the order events," she said running the 400-meter dash and 300 hurdles back-to-back. "This was an entirely different level. This is states hard."</p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=390 outstream></partner-banner><p>Mooradian defended her championship in the 100 (12.27 seconds), 200 (25.2) and 400 (57.33) — which she won by the length of a Winnebago. She set a league championship record in the 300 hurdles with a time of 44.93 and an advantage of about two Winnebagos.</p><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner class=spacer-large placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><p>While training for the heptathlon last summer, Mooradian thought: "Maybe I'd be good at the 300 hurdles."</p><cta-atoms-container-inline util-module-path=elements/cta class=spacer-large></cta-atoms-container-inline><p>Her coach Bruce Lee replied: "You're going to be good. You'll break the record."</p><p>He meant South Western's school record. Maybe not the YAIAA championship mark.</p><p>Mooradian thought the 400 run would hinder her hurdles performance.</p><p>"My body wasn't keeping up with my legs," she said. "It was crazy."</p><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><p>Before day's end, there was just no escape from the corral where athletes await to accept their awards. She left to check in for the 200, but heard her name called no more than two steps into the trip.</p><p>"Lynne Mooradian, please report to the awards area."</p><p>Mooradian asked an official if she could first go check in. He obliged. She came back.</p><p>"I'm so tired," Mooradian told teammate Madelyn Swanner while trudging back along the guardrails.</p><p>Mooradian's closest race might have been the 200, where she blistered around the corner of the track to hold off Angelica Gonzalez. A Red Lion senior who sat out most of the season, Gonzalez ran that event and the 1,600 relay that closed the night's races.</p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=600 outstream momentum></partner-banner><p>Dallastown won that relay behind the effort of Taylor Forrester (100 hurdles champ), Emma Kange, Haven Evans and Amari Johnson. The Wildcats rallied on the final leg with Johnson, who finished second to Mooradian in the 400.</p><p>Mooradian won by more than two seconds in what became a marathon day. She became so sore that two bags of ice were used as seat cushions while awaiting walks to the medal stand. For one of the climbs to first place, Mooradian needed the help of Swanner's shoulder to pull herself up.</p><p>"I'm going to sleep," Mooradian said. "A lot."</p><p><iframe width=640 height=360 src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/llKFH3on4_Q frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></p><p><b><a href=https://youtu.be/llKFH3on4_Q><p>On a mobile device?

Her 11 feet, 6 inch vault in the pole vault added to a Delone Catholic record she already owned.</p><partner-inline util-module-path=elements/partner class=spacer-large placement=native-article_link sizes="[[300, 250], [3, 3]]" min-height=250 fluid outstream></partner-inline><p>It also just beat Central York's Alexis Baublitz, whose 11-3 vault broke her own school record for the Panthers.</p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=390 outstream></partner-banner><p>Riedel's weapon of choice: a new vaulting pole that's 5 pounds heavier than her old one.</p><p>"It didn't bend as much," she said. "It helped swing me up."</p><p>Her only preparation with it came Monday at Northern York. Meanwhile, Delone's 400 relay team of Tiffany Small, Teresa Pecher, Amber Millken and freshman Emma Malinowski also took home gold.</p><p>Their time of 51.3 broke their old personal record by two seconds.</p><p><iframe width=640 height=360 src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/Equr9DsUIxU frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></p><p><b><a href=https://youtu.be/Equr9DsUIxU><p>On a mobile device?

The reason for such a jump in her improvement is simple: No more softball.</p><p>Wanbaugh spent her freshman season juggling softball with track and field. She decided then to drop softball.</p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=390 outstream></partner-banner><p>"I'm a total head case when it comes to throwing, but I finally pulled through in the end," the sophomore said.</p><p>Top-seeded Maura DeRemer, a freshman from Eastern York, placed second.</p><p><b>OUT OF THE BLOCKS >></b> Kennard-Dale junior Maddie Ferner and senior Kayle White finished one-two in the 3,200.</p><p>Ferner won the 1,600 and 3,200 two weeks ago at Dallastown during the Wildcat Invitational. She skipped the 1,600 on Friday to concentrate on improving her time in the 3,200.</p><p>She bettered her personal best by about 12 seconds and clocked in at 11:08.93.</p><p>Ferner is running the 3,200 for the first time this year. She missed last season while recovering from an ankle injury suffered in soccer.</p><partner-banner util-module-path=elements/partner fluid bottom lazy class=spacer-large min-height=390 outstream></partner-banner><p><i>Contact Matt Goul at 771-2045.</i></p><lit-timestamp class="column ten-column no-gutter spacer-small" slot=timestamp publishdate="2015-05-09 03:50:18 +0000 UTC" updatedate="2015-05-09 03:50:18 +0000 UTC"></lit-timestamp><style>html a.nsb-link,html .primary-content a.nsb-link{box-shadow:0 0;cursor:pointer;height:var(--spacer-twentyfour,24px);margin-right:var(--spacer-twentyfour,24px);text-shadow:none;width:var(--spacer-twentyfour,24px)}a.nsb-link span{max-width:0;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;visibility:hidden}.nsb-svg{height:var(--spacer-twentyfour,24px);width:var(--spacer-twentyfour,24px)}.nsb-twitter-button{fill:var(--social-twitter,#4099ff)}.nsb-email-button{fill:var(--color-dove-gray,#787878)}.nsb-facebook-button{fill:var(--social-facebook,#3b5998)}.nsb-sms-button{fill:var(--color-ui-green,#008c33)}.nsb-svg.gallery{fill:var(--color-ui-white,#fff)}</style><div class="spacer-small column ten-column no-gutter"><a alt="Post the article to your Facebook Timeline" class="nsb-link nsb-facebook inline-flex" data-size=large onclick="fireNavShareAnalytics('facebook');" rel=noopener target=_blank><svg class="universal-low nsb-svg nsb-facebook-button" view-box='0 0 24 24'> <path d="M12.6143832,21 L3.99346182,21 C3.44462725,21 3,20.5550968 3,20.006476 L3,3.99345411 C3,3.44469364 3.44469709,3 3.99346182,3 L20.006608,3 C20.5552331,3 21,3.44469364 21,3.99345411 L21,20.006476 C21,20.5551667 20.5551632,21 20.006608,21 L15.4197395,21 L15.4197395,14.029408 L17.7594454,14.029408 L18.1097832,11.3128446 L15.4197395,11.3128446 L15.4197395,9.57849053 C15.4197395,8.79198274 15.6381418,8.25600363 16.7659836,8.25600363 L18.2044917,8.25537504 L18.2044917,5.82565895 C17.9557072,5.79255313 17.1017938,5.71858885 16.108332,5.71858885 C14.0343128,5.71858885 12.6143832,6.98457234 12.6143832,9.30945332 L12.6143832,11.3128446 L10.2686707,11.3128446 L10.2686707,14.029408 L12.6143832,14.029408 L12.6143832,21 L12.6143832,21 Z"></path> </svg><span>Facebook</span></a> <a alt="Tweet about this article" class="nsb-twitter nsb-link inline-flex" data-size=large onclick="fireNavShareAnalytics('twitter')" rel=noopener target=_blank><svg class="universal-low nsb-svg nsb-twitter-button" view-box='0 0 24 24'> <path d="M21,6.77573131 C20.338616,7.07692308 19.6265188,7.28060672 18.8795563,7.3716143 C19.6423666,6.9035753 20.2276809,6.16143012 20.5034337,5.27735645 C19.7892235,5.71072589 19,6.02600217 18.1568938,6.19501625 C17.4849445,5.45937161 16.5245642,5 15.461701,5 C13.4236661,5 11.770206,6.69555796 11.770206,8.78656555 C11.770206,9.08342362 11.8019017,9.3716143 11.8652932,9.64897075 C8.79609086,9.4907909 6.07554147,7.98483207 4.25303751,5.69122427 C3.93502377,6.2524377 3.75330164,6.9035753 3.75330164,7.59696641 C3.75330164,8.91007584 4.40517697,10.0693391 5.39619651,10.7486457 C4.79186476,10.7302275 4.22134179,10.5579632 3.72266244,10.276273 L3.72266244,10.3228602 C3.72266244,12.1581798 4.9957739,13.6890574 6.68621236,14.035753 C6.37665082,14.1245937 6.05018489,14.1690141 5.71315372,14.1690141 C5.47543582,14.1690141 5.24300053,14.1462622 5.01796091,14.1018418 C5.4881141,15.6056338 6.85103011,16.7009751 8.46751189,16.7302275 C7.20390914,17.7464789 5.61067089,18.3521127 3.88114105,18.3521127 C3.58320127,18.3521127 3.28843106,18.3347779 3,18.3001083 C4.63444268,19.3726977 6.57633386,20 8.66085578,20 C15.4543053,20 19.1679873,14.2307692 19.1679873,9.22643554 C19.1679873,9.06175515 19.1648177,8.89707476 19.1584786,8.73564464 C19.8800845,8.20151679 20.5066033,7.53521127 21,6.77573131"></path> </svg><span>Twitter</span></a> <a alt="Email this article" class="nsb-email nsb-link inline-flex" onclick="fireNavShareAnalytics('email')" rel=noopener target=_blank><svg class="universal-low nsb-svg nsb-email-button" view-box='0 0 24 24'> <path d="M3,5.8757627 C3,5.39209232 3.39269552,5 3.8926228,5 L20.1073772,5 C20.6003592,5 21,5.40389442 21,5.8757627 L21,18.1242373 C21,18.6079077 20.6073045,19 20.1073772,19 L3.8926228,19 C3.39964084,19 3,18.5961056 3,18.1242373 L3,5.8757627 Z M12,11.09375 L3,6.74107143 L3,8.48214286 L12,12.8348214 L21,8.48214286 L21,6.74107143 L12,11.09375 Z"></path> </svg><span>Email</span></a></div><script> (function () { let route = window.ga_data.route, headline = route.headline || document.title, url = route.url, sponsoredText = (route.sponsoredSeries || route.sponsoredStory) ?
