Quite a Bit For a High School Senior

Tessa Barrett
When Tessa Barrett crossed the line first at the Foot Locker National Championships in California last month, she set off a lot of jabber from many different directions.

There were the various naysayers of the relative quality of the Foot Locker versus the Nike Cross Country Nationals.  There were the band-wagon jumpers from all over.  There were the haters from the web-sites, who seem to jump at any opportunity to degrade just about anyone.  There were even the Penn State Haters out there who have no clue about our program and just want to somehow align us with a horrible predator none of us has ever had anything to do with. 



But then there's Coach John Gondak and the rest of the coaching staff who had her signed up for a Nittany Lion education even before all of that happened.

Welcome Tessa, we look forward to your growth as an athlete and a student.
