Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Meet Draws Stellar Field

The Cross Country season got underway in State College with the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Meet on the 5.2 Mile Course.  Penn State Women finished Third and the Men Fourth in a solid field including Georgetown and Princeton.

Kyle Dawson led the Lions in a third place finish while Kara Millhouse led the Lady Lions with a seventh place effort.

Meanwhile, Tyler McCandless continued his tune-up for the Boston Half-Marathon with a winning effort in the Denver Half-marathon.  His mile-high victory bodes well for his attack on the Olympic Trials qualifying time he missed by one second in his last race.

But maybe the best moment of the day occurred when Coach Groves told Jess Riden, "Girl, you got a swagger like John Wayne."  You just can't make up good stuff like that.
