Nittany Lion Progeny in the News


Alex Shisler is certainly the best parts of both of his parents.   He has the good looks and speed of Beth, and the...   Well Steve, you're in there somewhere, I'm sure.  He won two events against powerhouse Altoona, but couldn't quite stop the 100th victory in a row for Altoona Boys Track.  He sticks mostly  to the 200 M and 400 M, events I sure don't know much about.  I was always threatened with running the 4 x 440 y relay in high school as a punishment.  (Yeah, I'm that old!)

Sammie Zishka is another PSU Track Alumni progeny in the news, this time in Lancaster, Ohio.  That's the home of John Zishka, who coaches her and happens to be her dad.  John spent some time at PSU, setting some records and putting in quite a few great performances before transferring to  Oregon.  He's still one of our own though, being a Duck doesn't get rid of all the Nittany Lion in you!  John's exploits led to Clark Haley's matriculation at PSU, and we all know that led to our group.  We owe John some applause for that too.

I would be more than happy to promote the exploits of every Nittany Lion's progeny.  Send stories, links, photos, movies and anything else my way at dfbaskwill-AT-cs-DOTcom
