Two Salisbury athletes competed at the PIAA Class 2A Track and Field Championships last weekend at Shippensburg University’s Seth Grove Stadium.

Senior Jacob Gibbons capped a four-year varsity athletic career Friday when he ran against the state’s fastest Class 2A boys runners in the 200-meter dash. Gibbons finished 16th in a field of 27 sprinters who competed in the preliminary heats Friday.

Gibbons ran the race in 22.87 seconds, which was slightly faster than the 22.89 he ran in the district final.

Gibbons, a two-sport athlete who was a four-year member of the Falcon football team, played baseball up until switching his spring sport to track in 2022. In just two years with the track team he became a league and district medalist and state qualifier.

Junior Jairo Suarez ran in the 110-meter hurdles at the state meet and finished 21st out of 31 qualifiers in Class 2A. He ran a time of 15.69.

Suarez made it to the state meet by finishing third in the District 11 Championships, where he ran a career-best time of 15.35 in the final. He will look to build upon his junior postseason when he returns to the team next season.
