Butler's MacKenzie Popovich competes in the long jump at the WPIAL team track qualifying meet at Seneca Valley on Tuesday.

JACKSON TWP — As Butler girls track and field coach John Williams put it, “This was not a record-breaking day.”

No, it wasn't.

Seneca Valley's NexTier Stadium hosted a WPIAL Class AAA boys and girls team semifinal meet Tuesday amid temperatures in the low-50s and gusty winds.

School records were safe, but this was simply about survival.

Butler's girls accomplished that, defeating Latrobe (105-45), Kiski Area (118-32) and West Allegheny (127-23) to advance to Monday's team championship meet.

Joining them at Baldwin High School's Cibek Stadium will be Seneca Valley's boys, who overwhelmed New Castle (110-40), Latrobe (94-56) and Kiski Area (132-18).
