Thoughts? 
The girl's 300 hurdles event has been making waves in the PIAA since its inception back in 1982. Throughout the years, it has proven to be a true test of speed, agility, and endurance. Among all the talented athletes in the girl's AA classification, only one girl has managed to etch her name in the history books with three consecutive titles. That honor belongs to Julia Laiuvara from Hanover Area (1991-1994).

But now, a new contender has emerged, ready to follow in Laiuvara's footsteps. Nora Johns Quaker Valley,  has already demonstrated her exceptional skills by snatching the PIAA championship crown in both 2021 and 2022. With this impressive track record, the stage is set for Johns to join the elite ranks of three-time champions.

Yet, the path to greatness is never an easy one. Camryn Pyle is a fierce competitor who has earned the number one seed in the PIAA Championships this weekend. Will Nora Johns cement her legacy alongside Julia Laiuvara, or will Camryn Pyle triumph over the competition and secure her own place in the history books?
