"Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics"

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."  -Author Unknown (Mark Twain popularized the saying.)

Track and Field is second on the list of sports to baseball with great statistics.  There are so many categories to keep every nerd like me interested.


Actually, nobody is telling a lie.  Our new Blog Laureate Larry Mangan has been skimming the record books and has come up with a few gems at year's end. He is quite relentless in the pursuit of accuracy, something I can't quite profess myself!

Several PSU performers are on the All-Time American Junior Lists:
  1. Karlee McQuillen, ('11) - #4, #6, #7, #10 in the javelin (all in 2008) best 176’2”
  2. Michael Timpson  - #5 performer 20.23 200 meter dash
  3. Cas Loxom #6  performer 1:46.57 800 meter run
  4.  Tracey Brauksiek # 10 performer 10:16.91 3000 M steeple
