Brannon Kidder, Robby Creese, Za'Von Watkins and Alex Shisler. |
When you can answer both of these questions with honesty "No", you are in a special and select group.
"Did you run under 4 minutes for that mile?"
NO
"Did you run over 4 minutes for that mile?"
NO
He ran a spirited last "quarter" to ease into 4th place or so with his split of 2:58.18 and handed off to Alex Shisler for the 400M leg.
Alex made the long trip for his parents worth it and PRed with his split in 46.86! The hand off was to Za'Von Watkins who has been mired in a season-long rut of 1:50 second 800M races. But Za'Von broke through with his PR with a 1:47.61 handing it off to Robby Creese in fourth place.
Robby was passed immediately by the eventual winner, Edward Cheserek of Oregon, but then gradually eased himself to the lead pack after the first 1000 meters. Then "Boom"! Robby took off, gathering in everyone in the race except Edward. His 3:59.57 gave the PSU quartet second place in the time of 9:32.21 .

Nice race!

Where is the rest of the meet ;-)
I like these uniforms so much more because the regular ones are exactly the same pattern and lettering as Michigan State's uniforms (and of course they are old school!). They should use them all the time or get some new regular uniforms.

@Frit I agree wholeheartedly. And so do many of the current athletes. There have been numerous examples of old-school unis in recent years. Us old-timers have generations of friends in tbe ranks.
