Now this is more like it.

It's been a few years since both the Butler boys and girls track and field teams reached the WPIAL Class AAA team championships.

That is, until Wednesday.

The Tornado boys squad defeated host Peters Township 122-28, Mt. Lebanon 88-62 and squeaked past Central Catholic 82-68 while the girls defeated Hempfield 88-62, Mt. Lebanon 96½-53½ and Peters Township 112-38 to advance to next Thursday's Class AAA team championships.

"We expected Central Catholic to be a super tough meet," said Butler boys coach Rick Schontz. "They're one of the more talented teams and so is Mt. Lebanon.

"It was a great overall team effort. Our sprinters were phenomenal. Our throwers swept the discus and javelin and Andy Strutt won the pole vault (13 feet)."

Doug Moran was the overall winner in the 100 (10.99 seconds) and 200 (22.81), while Matt Celestin won the long jump (21 feet, 2½ inches), Brian McCandless the high jump (5-11), Harold Dunn the javelin (178-8) and Nolan Brink the discus (163-2).

For the Tornado girls, competing without Kendall Butch didn't prove to be much of a problem. Butch, the team's top pole vaulter, triple and high jumper, suffered a minor injury in practice Monday and coach Rod Harris didn't use her for precautionary reasons.

"I was very pleased," said Harris on the team's performance. "Without Kendall Butch, the girls stepped up and performed through the roof. They stepped up as a team. It was great to watch as a coach."

Lea Renwick won the 100 (12.75) and 200 (27.13) and AbbyHerrit the 400 (1:01.13) to highlight the overall winners.

"We're finally starting to run the times we should," said Harris. "This was a big breakthrough for a lot of the kids."

Other winners included Lyndsy Day (16-5½) in the long jump, Haley Spinneweber in the triple jump (33-5) and Jess Clouse in the pole vault (8-6).

The Butler boys will run North Allegheny, Latrobe and Baldwin in the team finals while the girls will face Latrobe, North Alleghney and Norwin, both at a site to be determined.
