YS track meet Thursday night to feature Borchers, GunderKline twins

Villagers have rarely had the opportunity to see local middle distance star Sam Borchers run since he went off to Penn State. And while we have had plenty of opportunities to watch the GunderKline twins, Jake and Brock, run locally, they are about to head off to Goshen College in Indiana in a few weeks. Thursday night, starting with field events at 5:30 and track events at 6:30, the Miami Valley Track Club will hold its 19th Annual All-Comers Meet on the Yellow Springs High School track featuring Borchers and the GunderKlines. No surprise there, since Vince Peters, YSHS Athletic Director and Track Coach, is also the Head Coach of the club.

Borchers is a past Big Ten 1500 meter champion, Jake GunderKline is a nationally ranked race walker and Brock GunderKline was the lone Bulldog to advance to the state meet this year after finishing third in the regionals in the 800 meters.

The meet will also feature other top performers from around the Miami Valley and a variety of events for kids. The entry fee is $4.00 on the day of the meet and registration begins at 5:00 p.m. Entry forms are available on-line on the Miami Valley Track Club's web site.
