Daily News | Hatboro-Horsham’s Brian DiCola wins the boys’ high school mile championship at the Penn Relays
With the gust of rain hitting Brian DiCola’s face, the Hatboro-Horsham senior was 100 meters away from crossing the finish line first in the high school boys’ mile at Franklin Field. He looked back, caught a glimpse of a yellow jersey on his tail, and knew it was time to power forward.
But this year, DiCola carved a name for himself as another great runner from the area. Following an impressive outing at the Paul Short Run in September, DiCola set a course record with a time of 14:43 in the 5K, which was the second fastest time by a high schooler in Pennsylvania and the seventh fastest in the country this year. He beat Martin’s record from last year with a time of 14:49.
Prior to meets, DiCola said, he can get wrapped into his own head, overthinking different situations. On Friday, he tried to turn off his brain before taking the track. He’ll listen to music, preferably alternative-rock, and hang around his teammates. “It feels really good to get something for your team,” DiCola said. “And to do it in front of my home crowd [that’s] 30 minutes away from where I live.”
