RIDLEY TWP. Brianna Foster had every intention of competing in the PIAA Class 3A Track & Field Championships.
An MRI changed those plans.
The Ridley senior suffered a right hamstring injury on her second attempt in the preliminary round of the long jump at the District 1 girls track and field championships. She never made her third attempt or participated in the final but her initial jump of 17 feet, 11 inches was good enough for third place and an automatic berth in the state meet.
