M. Track gains 22 frosh

· Sean Macmillan of St. Anthony's High School in New York was the state champion in the steeplechase. Macmillan is in the top 10 in the country in the steeplechase and finished in the top 10 at the U.S. Junior National Championships. "He's run faster than anyone [currently] on the team," Taylor said. · Bob Reynolds, a pole-vaulter from Baldwin High School in Pittsburgh will join the Quakers next year. He set a Western Pennsylvania record in the high jump this year with a leap of 15 feet, 9 inches and won the state championship. · Adam Newmark won the 400-meter run in the New Jersey State Championships this year for Metuchen High School. His personal best time is 48.42 seconds. "He has the potential to become an excellent quarter-miler," Taylor said. · Alex Chou, a transfer student, is expected to be the best shot-putter joining the team this season. After a season at the University of Toronto, where there was only club track and field, he will be coming to Penn to compete on the intercollegiate level. He threw 60 feet in high school and was the Ontario provincial champion. · Craig Douglas will be trying to make the transition from high school hurdles to collegiate hurdles next season. He was the Oregon state champion in the intermediate and high hurdles. The high hurdles on the collegiate level, at 42 inches, are three inches higher than at the high school level. The move to college racing has given many hurdlers trouble in the past. · Jason Greene, South Dakota's lone representative at Penn next year, will also be a member of the track team. Greene was the state cross country champion and also was the best one-and two-mile runner in the state. · Shawn Fernandez of Pottstown, Pa., is the top local recruit. He will be a part of Penn's sprinting squad next season. He was clocked in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.5 seconds last year. -- Paul Christner
