Anna Chodubski

As McDowell junior Anna Chodubski enters the PIAA track and field championships today, she’s already a seasoned veteran of state competition. At the 2011 PIAA championships, Chodubski placed third in the long jump with a leap of 18 feet 1⁄2 inch.

This weekend in Shippensburg, she’ll look to add a second state medal in the long jump and another in the triple jump.

Chodubski qualified for the state meet in both events May 16 by winning the long jump and placing second in the triple jump at the District 10 championships at Harbor Creek’s Weitz Stadium.

She repeated as long jump champion with a leap of 17-6. She narrowly missed her second straight D-10 gold medal in the triple jump with a second-place effort of 37-4 1⁄2.

No matter what happens this weekend, McDowell will be happy to have Chodubski back for a final season next year.

District 10 track and field athletes, led by several jumpers and the Hickory throwers, had a big day with 10 event wins Friday at the Butler Invitational.

Among the most impressive performances were those turned in by Cathedral Prep’s Joe Oduho and McDowell’s Anna Chodubski in the long jump.

Oduho, the defending D-10 Class AAA champion, won the long jump with a remarkable leap of 23 feet even. Meanwhile, Chodubski, the defending D-10 AAA girls champ, won the Butler long jump with a jump of 18 feet. Both Oduho and Chodubski placed third in the PIAA in 2011.

Oduho led D-10’s top-three sweep in the long jump, as Prep’s Malik Moffett (22-5 1⁄4) placed second and McDowell’s De’vion Tate (21-11 3⁄4) took third. Tate also placed third in the triple jump (44-7 1⁄2).

Like Tate, Chodubski claimed third in the triple jump (36-3) Friday.
