First Annual Performance of the Year: I Need Your Help

I have made several nominations for the PSU Track Alumni Golf Performance of the Year and I would love your help making any additional nominations prior to the voting at year's end.  First we need to make certain we agree on our definitions.

First, a PSU Track Alumni Golfer may not be what you think it is.  Golf has absolutely nothing to do with it. ( It never has.  It is highly recommended, however!)  And the definition of alumnus is:

A graduate or former student of a school, college, or university.

But for our purposes I will expand it even further!  Anyone who cares about PSU Track and Field and Cross Country is eligible for our purposes.

Secondly, a performance can be in any aspect of human existence, including, but not limited to performance on the track, field, cross country course or roads. For example, finding a cure for cancer would qualify as a fine performance!  I have discovered how diverse a community we are, so anything is eligible.

Here are several of my nominations, in no particular order:

  1. Ryan Foster's sub-4 minute mile indoors.
  2. Cas Loxsom's School Record 800 M run outdoors.
  3. Jim Clelland's performance as Ebeneezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol: The Musical  (This isn't a joke at all.  I really believe this is worthy of note and consideration.  To know Jim can be heard in the back of an auditorium without electronics is heart-warming)
  4. Doreen McCoubrie's (Startare) marathon at Philly.  2:50:23 at age 50
Give me some more nominations!
