Jason Kremus spends most of his time coaching and training high school track athletes as they strive to become stars.

The 1989 Northampton Area High School graduate knows a little about achieving that status.

For his laundry-list of accolades during his illustrious high school track career, Kremus will be inducted into the Pennsylvania High School Track & Field Hall of Fame on March 1, during the PIAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

The current Upper Macungie Resident was a two-sport athlete during his days at Northampton. He shined on the track and the gridiron, but stood out the most as a member of the K-Kid track and field team.

His achievements include a bronze medal and a silver at the 1988 state meet. At the 1989 meet, during his senior season, Kremus, took gold in both the 110 meter hurdles and the 300 meter hurdles as he set a new Pennsylvania record in the 300 hurdles with a time of 36.94 seconds. That record was only recently broken.

Additionally, he broke the District 11 AAA meet record for the 100 meter dash during his senior season.

"It is a little surreal to look back and think that I accomplished all of those things," Kremus said in a phone interview. "My mindset back then was to just keep progressing year after year.

"Freshman year, I placed third at districts and my goal for the next year was to win it and improve my times. It was like one thing took care of the next. Improving my times meant that my place would improve as well and they did."

The former K-Kid track coach, and current Parkland assistant, improved his times enough to be selected to join the over 170 members of the Hall of Fame, which was established in 1995. All members inducted have made an impact on the sport within the Pennsylvania borders as a participant, coach or a contributor.

An athlete is eligible for enshrinement five years after graduation.

After receiving that high school diploma, Kremus went on to the University of Maryland on a football scholarship. During his early years as a Terrapin, he was a member of both the football and the track teams, but eventually had to choose football due to the demands of being a collegiate student-athlete.

But Kremus, who serves as the Director of the Northampton Recreation Center, always had his eye set on getting chosen for the Hall.

"My accolades were something to consider," he said. "I don't want to say that I thought I definitely would get in. We are talking about the best in the entire state of Pennsylvania. Now I'm considered one of those elite. I always thought my accolades were good enough though."

Kremus was more than good enough when he was a Konkrete Kid, as he was one of the best in the PIAA during his era. Now, he is known as one of the best in the Pennsylvania of all-time.
