Golden Knights leave it all on track

| | Comments (1)

On paper, Easter York girls' track coach Joel Jacobs knows his Golden Knights team is talented,.

Yet, he wouldn't put his squad above traditional rival York Suburban and upstart Dover.

But, when it comes to winning ....

Just like in Tuesday's final YAIAA contest at Suburban when the Knights 4 x 400 relay team of Daisy Forsyth, Rebecca Delp, Mandy Runkle and Jordan Riley ran a 4:18.2, which not only won the race, but clinched the entire meet.

Amazingly, there was even a baton drop in the event and yet the team still won on Riley's come from behind lap as the anchor.

"On paper, we could be 4-2," Jacobs said. "But these girls have so much heart."

The entire relay team returns next year. Forsyth and Riley are juniors, Delp and Runkle are freshmen.
