A Long Weekend

For Penn State the collegiate season and competition year are officially over. While our elite alumni are rounding into form for the summer.

First let's start with the Nittany Lions that earned an All-American certificate at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

First Team
Mahagony Jones - 100, 200, and 4x400
Kiah Seymour - 400 hurdles, 4x400
Dynasty McGee - 4x400
Tichinia Rhodes - 4x400
Laura Loht - javelin
Steve Waithe - triple jump
Robert Cardina - decathlon

Second Team
Brittney Howell - heptathlon
Melissa Kurzdorfer - hammer throw
Evonne Britton - 100 hurdles
Brian Leap - triple jump
Darrell Hill - shot put
Brannon Kidder - 1500

In the team score Penn State was 12th in the women's competition and 44th in the men's.

Also competing in Oregon, at the Portland Track Festival, were Cas Loxsom and Bridget Franek. Both won their event, Cas taking the 800 in 1:46.74 and Bridget the steeple in 9:41.21, and a local brewery served as a great prize for first place.


 
And finally the IAAF Diamond League meeting at the adidas Grand Prix in New York had Shana Cox taking 6th in the 400 with a time of 52.11.
