Jason Vollmer at Southern Illinois, and Kevin Maloney at Marion
College have gone on to continue their track and field careers
at the next level. In addition

athletic careers in Football at Yale and St. Francis
Universities respectively. Female standout from 2008 Eileen
Moran is representing Princeton University after going downstate
for PCHS and medaling in the Junior Olympics in the 4x400 relay
this summer. Go Track!!!
This
years team is led by hurdler/sprinter Joey Michals, sprinter
Greg Metelak, and Northwestern bound shot and disc thrower
Patrick Ward. Joey was a state qualifier last year in the 300m
hurdles and the 4x400m relay.
The
Celtics have a good young nucleus and look to have a great
outdoor season and make another trip downstate.
