Distance tutelage. I spoke with some athletes at the recent Sykes and Sabock Challenge, and across all disciplines of the sport, he was praised by everyone. There are some exciting times ahead for all of us invested in PSU Track and Field.
And let's not forget about Darrell Hill's Field Athlete of the Year also. We've kept up with his progress quite well on this blog. For some reason, I really enjoy his Shot Put event despite it being the farthest from my limited wheel house. Can I call what I did a wheel house?
Entries to the Indoor NCAA Nationals (this year in Fayetteville, Arkansas) are always limited to the top 16 times or distances or performances. PSU has quite a few entries, however. The 3rd ranked Shot Put of Darrel Hill, the 2nd place Distance Medley team and the 3rd ranked Mile of Brannon Kidder lead the pack.

And the little red book on the shelf above my snow boots is actually Mao's Little Red Book, which I picked up in China for the equivalent of about 6 cents. The lady told me they sell them everywhere as a joke. And everyone was really happy to see an American, especially my blond-haired, blue-eyed 4 year-old. We were mobbed for 20 minutes everywhere we went so that everyone could get a photo with her. She was a rock star, for sure.
