Pottstown Captures PAC Track & Field Title with Dominant Performance
SPRING-FORD, PA – The Pottstown Trojans soared to victory at the 1991 PAC Track & Field League Championship, amassing 115 points to claim the team title. Fueled by standout performances in sprints, hurdles, and relays, Pottstown outpaced second-place Great Valley (77.5 points) and third-place Lansdale Catholic (74 points) in a highly competitive meet.
Multiple meet records fell, including Bill Kott (Spring-Ford) in the 200m (22.4), Aaron Beasley (Pottstown) in the 400m (50.2), Kevin Ford (Pottstown) in the 300m hurdles (38.9), Brian Debnam (Pottstown) in the triple jump (44’7.5), Greg Faulkner (Spring-Ford) in the shot put (53’6), and Justin Wysock (Pottsgrove) in the pole vault (12’9).
Pottstown’s success was driven by Kevin Ford, who shattered the 300m hurdles record and played a crucial role in the 4x100m and 4x400m relay victories, and Brian Debnam, who dominated the triple jump, sprints, and relays.
Other top performers included Grant Berges (Great Valley), who tied the high jump record (6’4) and won the long jump (19’11.5), and Bill Kott (Spring-Ford), who set a new 200m record and placed high in the sprints.
With their depth and speed, Pottstown controlled the track and left little doubt about their championship pedigree.
