Ayden Owens and Clara Savchik both won gold at the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association( PIAA) Class 3A Championships, held at Shippensburg University in late May. Ayden captured the 110 and 300-meter hurdle state titles, setting new North Allegheny school records in both and establishing a new PIAA record in the 110-meter( 13.76 seconds). With a time of 37.47 in the 300-meter race, he successfully defended his title in that event( he also won as a sophomore). Clara set a new school record for the Tigers, too, running the 3,200-meter race in 10 minutes and 21.65 seconds. Last
