An eclectic mish-mash (mess) of just about everything imaginable. Penn State Track and Field Alumni Golfers have honored PSU Track/XC, Coach Harry Groves and abused golf courses throughout Happy Valley since 2002. Help spread the word!

Nittany Lions at The Championships of the World
PSU was well represented at the IAAF World Championships in Berlin last week. Four Lady Lions laced them up in Germany representing three Countries and Dear Old State.
Aleesha Barber placed 7th in the semi-finals of the 100 M hurdles for Trinidad and Tobago, while Toyin Augustus placed 6th in her heat in the same event for Nigeria.
Shakeema Walker-Welsch placed 9th in the prelims of the Triple Jump for the good ole USA. Also, the USA was well repreented by Bridget Franek with 12th in the prelims of the 3000 M Steeplechase.
Berlino, the mascot has been deemed by our Blog Laureate as the best mascot ever, and my arguments for the Philly Phanatic fell on less than deaf (in fact profanity laced!) ears. I may have to put up a poll on the subject, and we all know how accurate our polls are! He certainly was the fastest mascot I have seen, especially considering the size of his head and feet.
Ich bin ein Berlino!
