The FASTEST Track Alumni Group in the World!

When Ryan Foster volunteered to spearhead the orders for a new round of the Alumni Singlet, I was so delighted that I made him an Officer of the Group.  I am especially happy to see that the enthusiasm of recent grads is rivaling that of some of us old-timers.

By making him an Officer, I then realized that we now have 3 sub-4 milers participating significantly with us.  My 4:18 mile best doesn't add much to the equation, but I will add that I only ran the mile once while at PSU, which is the PR I'm talking about.  So I figure our 4-man relay team would be competitive even with me slogging the second leg!  (I think Clark Haley's PR would be a great 4th man, possibly 4:02??)  But then again, I may have to add Steve Balkey to the group as Beverage Procurement Specialist and Practice Facilitator.  Any other suggestions?

Either way, Ryan is taking orders for the singlets, which we continue until 12/31/11, and then the order will be placed.  There are already several orders in, so be patient everyone, and they will materialize in the new year. I have one and it is really cool.

    Thanks. Word continues to spread. Sort of like a fungus, I suppose!

    Got some '86 singlets ordered for our big comeback!

    Now Dave, don't forget we had some half decent "Metric Milers" back in '86. A group of us (all PA kids I might add) just happened to put together a pretty good relay, American record 14:58 4x1500, with Mark Overhiem and I splitting 3:42's (pretty good for a half miler, huh?).

    Georgetown managed to take out our American record a couple years after but I'm pretty sure we still have the PA state record!

    And still my 4:18 adds nothing to the equation! My 1:58 half wouldn't have helped much either. So I bow in your general direction in shame!
