CPAR “All-Time” Top 3 (by event and by class)

All-Americans, National Champions, and Olympians can be found throughout this list. This is a collection of the very best that have competed in Central PA (District 3 and 6 schools) over the years. The PIAA Championship results archive, PAMilesplit database, LL League all-time list, and our own CPAR Honor Roll(s) were used to pull this list together. If you see someone who is missing and have the results as proof of performance, please send me an email at centralparunner@gmail.com.

FAT is required for all events on the track.

Field event marks must come from an Invitational or post-season event.

Of note – The class of 2020 did not have a senior season as it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a special class with a ton of talent. It would have been great to see what they could have done as high school seniors!

Enjoy!
