REGIONAL PRELIMS -- Senior Sarah Gettinger finished her track season in fine style, placing fourteenth in the Girl’s 100 Meter Hurdles in the Division II Regional at Ravenna High School yesterday afternoon.  Gettinger, who ran a 16.90 in districts to qualify in the third spot, finished ahead of Mara Gordon of Keystone—whom she beat at districts—and Rachelle Eye of Wellington—whom she lost to by 0.34 seconds in districts and 0.30 seconds in the conference meet.
