The Carbon County Senior Games is proving to be as exciting as ever.

When the games began, the question was, who will capture the commissioners’ cup — the South, consisting of Lehighton and Palmerton; or the North, made up of Jim Thorpe, Panther Valley and Weatherly.

On Monday, the seniors took over Baer Memorial Park in Lehighton to compete in the day’s outdoors events.

Who will win this year’s Commissioners’ Cup? We’ll have to wait until Thursday to see. Today’s event brings the seniors to two Lehighton bowling alleys.

After Monday’s events, the combined scores were South Carbon County, 614; while the North Carbon County seniors have 381 points.

Outdoor events included the Philip Steigerwalt Memorial Walk, softball throw, horseshoes and bocce.

First time competitor Craig Mertz of Lehighton won this year’s Philip Steigerwalt Memorial Walk plaque for his third place finish in the walk. The honor is bestowed on the man in the 60 to 64 category who comes in third in memory of the late Philip Steigerwalt, who collapsed and died while competing in the games in 2007. He would have finished third in the walking event.
