"If you're better than the Big Ten, then you're a professional," ·
"The
competition is so awesome, you'll crap in your pants."
"There are no
gifts in the Big Ten. You have to earn every point and every place."
-Coach Harry R. Groves, on the competition in the Big Ten
The Penn State Men placed third in the Big Ten XC Championships in Iowa City, Iowa today. The duo of Matt Fischer and Glen Burkhardt provided the important team lead with their 8th and 11th place finishes. Wade Endress (19), Tony Russel (25) and Robby Creese (29) rounded out the scoring. They also had the best spread of all teams with 27.5 seconds!
Ean Disilvio (49), Brannon Kidder (78), Bobby Hill (88), and Austin Pondel (93) also ran well.
Our congrats to Coach John Gondak and the entire team. (I include those who didn't make the trip as well. The importance of everyone involved is a big part of our Alumni efforts. We really understand the commitment, dedication and hard work that all of this entails.) With 8 of the 9 runners able to compete next year, things are looking up for the Nittany Lions.
