It Was a Successful Penn Relays Even With Second in the 4 X 800

Running without Robbie Creese, Penn State had its back against the wall in defending Championship of America titles in the Distance Medley and the 4 X 800 at the 2014 Penn Relays.  They put all their chances into the 4 X 800 and didn't field a team in the DM.  It almost paid off.   
( Brannon Kidder, 1:46.96 split) Second place finishes* in the Sprint Medley and the 4 X 800 (and IC4A victory in the 4 X 400!) still has PSU near the top of the Relay Rankings overall.  Lions can hold their heads high.

But lest we forget, there were many victories in individual events, which really bodes well for elevating PSU Men's rankings.  I'll let Matt chime in with other results when he recovers from the Carnival festivities!

A small consolation of the Sprint Medley Fiasco* yesterday. PSU's time in winning the IC4A 4 x 400 was better than LSU's time in the Championship of America race.
