THE GOLF IS OPTIONAL, THE MIRTH IS REQUIRED! The only blog detailing PSU Track and Field, (not always great!) Golf, Physics topics and great videos at the same time! An eclectic mish-mash (mess) of just about everything imaginable. Penn State Track and Field Alumni Golfers have honored PSU Track/XC, Coach Harry Groves and abused golf courses throughout Happy Valley since 2002. Help spread the word!
(please ingore this if you got my last moronic attempt)

It was my inglorious and only year on the team. But was inspired by studs like Stemler, Malley, Baden and Ziegler, and motivated by Coach Groves and (current Nike CEO)Mark Parker (back row) to do my first Marathon (Harrisburg). Still running and marathoning today, thanks to these guys.

Thanks for the pic! Join us at our reunion or even golf with us. Harrisburg '77 was my first marathon, the day after placing 5th at PIAA XC. It went well until 20 miles, then kind of fell apart. I've continued falling apart ever since!
ReplyDeleteHair-dos on 1975 team noteworthy, especially those sported by Ziegler and Backenstose.
ReplyDeleteThe glasses are a scream too!
ReplyDeleteSeveral porn star moustaches, as well. Eric Lande was still a manger a couple of years later!
