In a stunning development, Penn State Track and Field Alumni Golfer and recent Singlet Facilitator Mark Hawkins has won his age division at the 2012 Gasparilla Distance Classic. His time in the 15 K event was a remarkable 55:51.87! Also making his comeback official, Jeff Sanden ran a spirited 1:08:16.81. Don Ziter was also spotted in his brand new Alumni Singlet but results are down at the moment. They have promised photos of the festivities and I'll hold them to it.
My admiration and congratulations eclipse my overall jealousy at their feat. Those younger than us will realize the remarkable nature of their performances soon enough. In other news, Florida is trying to recover from the influx of early PSU old-timer Spring Breakers. they still know how to party, I hear.
In further news from halfway across the globe, Ryan Foster was seventh in the 1500 M at the Melbourne Track Classic in 3:45.89. He soon heads to the IAAF Indoor World Championships in Istanbul. Good luck Ryan.

I think all of these guys should be drug tested! If they don't have any in their systems now, we will have to forcibly deliver them in May!!!
