North East standout distance runner Ryan Smathers has accepted an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Smathers will attend the United States Military Academy Preparatory School for one year before heading to the Academy. He will run cross country and indoor and outdoor track.

Smathers has been a four-year star at North East in both cross country and track. He is the defending PIAA Class AA champion in the 1,600 meters and holds the District 10 record in that event.

By accepting the appointment, Smathers is making a 10-year commitment — one year at prep school, four years at the Academy and five years of active service.

The two-day Erie County Classic abruptly became a one-day event when heavy rain and lightning pounded Harbor Creek High School’s Paul J. Weitz Stadium shortly before Friday’s track and field action was supposed to start.

Harbor Creek athletic director Andy Krahe said the remainder of the meet was cancelled because of the weekend weather forecasts, as well as the upcoming District 10 meets. The Class AAA competition will take place there Wednesday, with the Class AA meet scheduled for Saturday.

The McDowell boys track and field team only won one event during its 28th annual invitational Saturday. However, its victory in the 3,200-meter relay, along with other top-eight finishes, were enough to leave them with 97 1/2 points to Bradford’s 94.

The Bradford girls also experienced a close finish. The Owls outlasted fellow District 9 participant Brookville 101-99.

Full results from the meet appear below, with video highlights posted at http://video.goerie.com/?pl_id=24684&va_id=4035104.
