The junior was pushed by Palmyra’s Waldron throughout the 100 race. “I could feel Maddy right on my shoulder that definitely pushed me,” Derr said. “It’s going pretty good.
I feel like I’m getting in the groove and running strong.” Later in the evening, following a weather delay, Derr cruised to an easy victory in the 200 meters, covering the distance in 25.62.
It was the ninth victory this season for Derr in the event. SEE ALL STAN MORGAN INVITATIONAL RESULTS HERE Thanks for visiting PennLive. Quality local journalism has never been more important.
