With that said, it’s time to start recapping the week that was in YAIAA sports.

Favorite Moments of the Year

Posted on May 17, 2013 by adammichael

To kick off the GameTimePA Question of the Week, we hit up the District 3 Track and Field Championships at Shippensburg University so a dozen or so athletes could show how it’s done.  The question was, “What’s your favorite memory from this year?”

We received plenty of good answers and surprisingly only a few shots for the blooper reel. Be sure to submit your own 15-second video using the smart phone app from Tout, or record it with your laptop camera on www.tout.com. Then submit it by addressing it @GameTimePA or @AdamMichaelYDR. We’ll take our favorites each week and post them on the blog.

Without further ado, here’s a compilation of today’s answers.

GameTimePA Question of the Week

Posted on May 16, 2013 by adammichael

As a sports media group, we do our very best to speak with as many players as we can throughout the year. Still, there are plenty of athletes with a lot to say who we unfortunately never get to interview.

With the help of Tout, we’re able to open up the floor to all those unheard voices. Where Twitter allows 140 characters per post, Tout is a video service that allows users 15 seconds of recording time to share brief glimpses into our lives. The program can be found with a quick app store search on any smart phone. You can also use your trusty webcam and internet connection to upload a video at www.tout.com.

Each week we will ask a question to the athletes of the GameTimePA coverage area. Tweet us your favorite answers @GameTimePA so that we’ll notice it. The best answers each week will be collected into one big highlight reel.

Friday, we’ll get things started at the District 3 Track & Field Championships at Shippensburg University. Look for Adam Michael at the meet to answer this week’s question: ‘What’s your favorite memory of the year?’

We will accept online submissions throughout the week as well. Make sure to encourage some of your most quotable friends to enter!

Kennard-Dale senior Dylan Moynihan had just stepped off the podium after earning a YAIAA gold in the boys’ pole vault when he looked for his lucky hat. Once he found it late Monday afternoon, just as the sun was setting on the makeup day for the league’s track and field championships, Moynihan talked about his hat, vaulting at Dallastown and more. Here’s what he had to say:

Your hat’s your trademark?
Yeah every dual meet and invitational I’ve worn it. Except for today.

Why not today?
They wouldn’t let me. That made me mad.

Think they’ll let you wear it for districts?
No. … maybe. I don’t know, we’ll find out.

What’s so special about the hat.
It’s my hat. I don’t know. It’s a redneck’s trademark, I guess. (laughs) Continue reading →
