Darby to Rio

How far is it from Darby Borough to Rio?

Don't laugh, it's not as far as you might think.

A lot of people in the tiny town will have their eyes on Rio - and maybe brushing away a few tears - as one of their own goes for the gold today at the Rio Olmpics.

Darrell Hill is the pride of Darby Borough and Penn Wood High. After a sterling high school track and field career, Hill went on to star at Penn State.

Today the shot putter will be looking for a gold medal at the Rio games.

He has not been forgotten in his home town.

Check out the local reaction as Darby remembers a favorite son who today will be on an international stage.
