No. 22. Brendan Zerfoss wins D9 Track MVP Award, two PIAA medals
Brendan Zerfoss finished off his track and field career in strong fashion winning District 9 titles in both the 200-meter dash (22.27) and the 400-meter dash (50.28) while taking second in the 100-meter dash (11.42), an event he won in 2017.
That effort helped Zerfoss be named the James Manners Award winner as the boys’ MVP of the meet.
Zerfoss continued his success at the PIAA meet finishing fifth in both the 200 and 400 in times of 22.94 and 50.19 respectively.
This followed a 2017 season that saw Zerfoss win the fastest-man in District 9 Class 2A after taking home the title in the 100 (11.0) and the 200 (22.32) while anchoring the 4×100-meter relay team that won the D9 title that year when he caught Brookville’s John Frank from behind to give the Bobcats the title.
