Great Performances: A Gutsy Half-Mile



The highlight of the Mens Big Ten Championships for the third-place Nittany Lions was the stellar performances in the 800 meters. (Someone stated PSU is 800 U!)

Ryan Foster took the lead early and held on for the victory in impressive fashion. Owen Dawson provided even more excitement by charging from 5th to second in the final 100 meters. (Upon watching a replay, I notice he was never that far back. Sorry for the error.) It was the most exciting race I've seen in a long time. The resultant 18 points vaulted PSU into third place, where they would remain for their best Big Ten finish to date. With the current youth and talent on the team, and the increasing backing of washed-up alums like me (washed-up may only apply to me!), PSU has a bright Track future. Congrats to Ryan, Owen and the entire team on a fine performance.

And.... Let's not forget to include important news of the day! The secret of belly button lint has been solved by scientists! Maybe not by physicists, but by their low class cousins, chemists.
