Lakeland’s Brooke Estadt Commits to Cornell

Congratulations to Lakeland’s Brooke Estadt on her commitment to Cornell University. Estadt will continue her athletic and academic career at the Division 1, Ivy League university. So, not only is Brooke athletically gifted, she must be extremely smart as well.

As always, we like to highlight exceptional athletes from North East Pennsylvania. It’s our way to still feel connected to the community that gave us so much.

We’re all Carbondale guys, Tommy and I are actually Carbondale Track alumnae. But, we admire Brooke Estadt’s achievements, even though she’s a Lakeland Chief. Paul actually married a Lakeland girl, so it’s safe or us to cheer for them now.
