Kendra soars into national spotlight

One of the nation’s premier high school girls’ long jumpers resides in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Her name is Courtney Kendra.
The Phoenixville junior posted the nation’s 10th-best  long jump of 19-5 ½ to win Thursday’s Montgomery Invitational at William Tennent.
That distance was 1-5 ½ longer than her previous personal record.

    Any relation to Dan Kendra, the superstar QB at Bethlehem Catholic in the mid-1990s? Whatever happened to him, anyway?
