Alumni "Run" Will Be An Expanded Event!

This year's Alumni "Run" on Saturday morning during the Track Alumni Reunion will be an expanded affair this year.  In addition to the run/jog/walk/crawl/stand that everyone can participate in, there will be a spirited mile from some of the fittest among us. ( Bring your Alumni Singlet for that!)  Last year's event record of 5:30 or so among the 50 yo set was quite a crowd-pleaser.  A pretty good sized crowd then heads out for 3 miles or so through the campus at a pace most of us can handle.  Some hang around to see me interview Coach Groves on his opinions and stories that there seems no end of!

This year, we have decided to supply grilled stickies and coffee for the early birds (really 9:00 to 9:30 AM gathering). There will be games and events for everyone, although Coach Sullivan and Jess Riden have been close-lipped on the precise meaning of this!  I'm hoping to take a shot at my PR Shot Put, but have neglected my training to smash the 12 foot barrier! There may even be prizes.

All this will occur at the Outdoor Track Facility commencing at 9:00 to 9:30 AM.  That gives those who trawled downtown juice bars late into the night following the Alumni Reception at the Lion's Den on Friday night a chance to partake. Up and at 'em boys (and girls!). That means you, Clark.

Following the Alumni "Run", the real athletes take over, as the current PSU teams will have their workout at 10:30 AM in the week before taking on the NCAA Prelims.  Come meet the team and Coaches and have a breakfast of Champions while you are at it.  Leftovers of stickies will be  readily snarfed up by hungry athletes following their work-out.
