OMAHA – Five Conestoga girls delivered school-record efforts this past weekend in the 800 meters, pole vault and 1,600-meter relay.
The Cougars rewrote Conestoga history books in Class C events at the state track and field meet. Katie Drake soared to the top of the CHS pole vault chart and Jaci Parriott posted a school-best time in the 800. Parriott, Autumn Hardesty, Courtney Wagner and Reagan Ruffner set a Conestoga record in the 1,600 relay…

Conestoga’s 1,600-meter relay team finished seventh in its state race in 4:11.87. Hardesty, Parriott, Wagner and Ruffner lowered the school record for the second straight week. The team had clocked a 4:18.20 mark at the district meet.
The Cougars erased the former school record of 4:19.0 that had been intact for more than a decade. Tara Noerrlinger, Sarah Manning, Cassie Sherlock and Jenni Uhe had set that mark in 2002…

Haverford — There are many components that comprise a championship caliber team. Coaching, and talent are imperative but another key attribute is composure. In the PIAA girls lacrosse semifinals Conestoga overcame a plethora of obstacles en route to hammering Radnor, 9-4, at A.G. Cornog Stadium at Haverford High School on Tuesday afternoon.
For the first time in the program’s history they will compete in the PIAA Championship on Saturday at noon at Hersheypark Stadium against Central League foe Garnet Valley. The Jaguars booked their place in the final with a 13-10 victory over Quaker Valley….
It wasn’t an ideal start for the Pioneers (23-3). They faced a two-goal deficit to an opponent that defeated them two weeks ago, they were scoreless the first 16 minutes of the game with two shots ringing off the crossbar. Conestoga also ommitted six first-half turnovers.

FAIRLESS HILLS — Often, the measure of a good team is not how many opponents they dominate, but how many times they fight back to grab a victory. In the District One Class AAAA consolation matchup between Pennsbury (18-5) and Conestoga (13-7), the Falcons once again showed their mettle as they staged a seventh-inning rally to nip the Pioneers 2-1 and stay alive in the hunt for a state playoff spot.
Going into the contest, the Falcon players knew they faced a big challenge in the presence of Conestoga’s Brendan Little. The 6’2′, 200-pound North Carolina bound pitcher boasts a potent pitching arsenal. The lefty flamethrower’s fastball has been clocked at 92-94 MPH. Combine that with a wicked 77 MPH curveball, a circle change and cutter and you have a hitter’s nightmare.
To stay in the game, Pennsbury knew they would need a top performance from their senior righthander Logan Buell. They got just that as Buell mixed a fastball and off-speed pitches to keep the Pioneers in check. Buell would finish the day, allowing just six hits and one run while striking out seven and issuing only one free pass.
