11/29-Koons grabs ticket to Foot Lockers as PA boys get roughed up in the Bronx Nov 29, 2003

Frances Koons set her expectations high this season, did the work necessary to have the opportunity to do great things, delivered some early, promising performances, faced mounting expectations because of her success, and today, ignored all the pressure and delivered her best race of the year - a 5th place at the Foot Locker Northeast Regional Championships. The effort earned her a free trip to San Diego in two weeks to face 31 other talented harriers in this the 25th year of \"the nation\'s only true high school championship.\"

11/29-Frances Koons didn\'t even look around to see who was racing Nov 30, 2003

Frances Koons had the feeling she was good enough to become a Foot Locker finalist after running within nine seconds of a 2002 Finalist in September. She gained the confidence to become a Foot Locker Finalist after a tough Mid-East Regional race in mid-November in Ohio. But on Saturday at Van Cortlandt, she not only had the perfect plan to get a ticket to San Diego, she had the perfect attitude. She did everything right, before and during the race.

11/29-Illness and inexperience hurt PA\'s harriers on Vanny\'s unforgiving trails Dec 01, 2003

On paper, this was the best PA class in years. Three had broken a legend\'s CR at Belmont Plateau. One had beaten the new record holder and won a state title. Another had been this way before, going to the finals in 2002. Another had set a CR on Slippery Rock\'s hilly layout. And three had fare well against the Midwest\'s best. So what happened?

Trial runs at Van Cortlandt show promise for PA Nov 18, 2004
