There were many Alums competing at the Penn Relays, and also in the stands. Soon we will outnumber the Jamaicans!
Blake Eaton won the Olympic Development Shot Put, Allen Pettner won the Olympic Development Javelin, Matt Lincoln was fourth for Canada in the USA vs. the World Distance Medlay and Shana Cox was fourth in the USA vs. the World 4 x 400 for Great Britain.
The Fullers were there (they seem to be everywhere!) both in the stands and on the track. Also spotted on the track was Sam Borchers. Our Chief Morale Officer (and doing a fine job BTW!) Larry Mangan was hanging out in the Jamaican section for the Saturday events, as was past winner of The Best Shot Kelley O'Brien. Both sent me reports of the thrilling events via today's internetty thingie. Thanks.
Here's a few of the alums out on the town in my beloved Philadelphia. I used to own those streets myself. I know, kinda hard to believe!
That's Christian Eck, Will Nowicki, Scott Sherwood, Dennis Pollow, Brian Fuller, John Maloney, Ryan Foster, Chris Ferry and Tim Johnson burning the town down.
Some of us were working as well. I was chief of electronic measurement (have been an official at Penn Relays for 21 years), and Phil Monastra is on my crew. In addition, Roger "Gunny" Roll is on the javelin crew. I realize that we are relegated to the outer reaches, but we are there!
ReplyDeleteYou know I love you guys! I ran with Gunny many times and you could crush me at will! But somehow never did. Thanks!
