WPIAL 4,000-yard club

Over the years, the Observer-Reporter did its best to keep up with the WPIAL 4,000-yard club. With the recent influx of additions, it became difficult to maintain. Thanks to Post-Gazette staff writer Mike White, we were able to update the list.

With the local season over, it seemed like a good time to take a glance.
