The mentor-mentee pairs were honored in an on-court presentation during the men's basketball game against Harvard on Jan. 31, 2020.

    ~ History of North Penn Area Public High School's Sports 1920 to Present by Dick Shearer Track dynasties are not created overnight, yet a combination of athletic excellence and properly primed public relations can go a long way. As early as 1920--long before Jim Crawford Sr. arrived on the scene--Lansdale High School was developing a national reputation, thanks to a series of superb relay teams that were perennial winners at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The 1920 team-comprised of Russell Kratz, Harry Hunsberger, Charles Beeman and Warren Wieand-claimed victory in the suburban mile relay, winning in a time of 3:40.2, a half second slower than the relay record established five years earlier by Cheltenham. Runner-up Media was eight yards off the Lansdale's pace. Word of the Maroon's success was top news on the front page of the May 6 Lansdale Republican. And no wonder. Joseph K. (Dobbie) Weaver not only coached the quartet to victory, but he was also editor of the newspaper -- hence he had a public forum to extol his runners' accomplishments. According to Weaver's account, so great was the feeling of school pride that a special assembly was held Monday morning (the races were held Friday and Saturday) to celebrate the victory with speeches, cheering and music-'a rousing exercise", the coach said. The following year -1921- Lansdale's relay team was well regarded, well recognized and was no longer in a position to surprise unsuspecting opponents. Still the Maroon prevailed in the Suburban mile, besting its previous time with a 3:36.8 to erase Cheltenham's six-year-long Penn Relay record.
