Seneca Valley Track and Field Strong Out of the Blocks

Raiders start off in winning fashion.

The temperatures have been downright cold this season, but that hasn’t stopped Seneca Valley Track and Field from getting off to a hot start.

The girls team is 1-1 with a win at North Hills and a loss to a tough Shaler team while he boys are 2-0 with wins against these opponents. 

The boys and girls combined their talents to win the Moon Mixed Relays for an impressive fourth consecutive year. The mixed relays feature co-ed relay teams from a number of schools.

Coach Ray Peaco , now in his 30th year coaching at Seneca Valley, is preparing the team to continue its winning ways.

The girls have 30 years of consecutive winning seasons and the boys have been winning for 35 years.

“Each year, we have a number of seniors who graduate, but are fortunate to have a continual flow of talented athletes to keep our program moving forward” Peaco said. “This is a great problem to have.”

While Peaco has his sights set on winning the WPIALs  and sending several students to the state championships, it is just as important that the athletes achieve personal bests, have fun and enjoy their high school track and field career.

Next up for the Raiders is a home meet against Butler, followed by an invitational at Butler and a 9-10 invitational meet at Seneca Valley.
