2012 PIAA Track & Field – Day Two Recap

At every invitational and championship meet this spring, South Park’s Bill
Stanley has set a meet record in the javelin. But Stanley did a lot more

Stanley, a senior, won the Class AAA javelin title at Shippensburg
University and set a national record with a throw of 246 feet, 9 inches.
Stanley’s throw, which came on his first of the competition, beat the old
