And our Interns were there!
There were many highlights at the Carnival's second day. Until the decision to withdrawal from the Sprint Medley Relay late in the day, Penn State was on track to be represented in ALL Championship of America Relays. The 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 teams all qualified for the finals in action on Phriday!
But of course, the highlight for us was the victory in the
Distance Medley Relay by the Nittany Lion quartet of
Robby Creese (1200M),
Alex Shisler (400M),
Isaiah Harris (800M) and
Brannon Kidder (1600M) in the time of
9:35.51 ! All photos from unpaid intern
Phil Passen except the last one!

And with Robby, Brannon and Alex graduating, PSU certainly needs to reload some talent. But never fear,
WE SEEM TO HAVE THAT COVERED!
Nittany Lion recruit
Michael Slagowski of Rocky Mountain High School (ID) became the ninth
prep runner to dip below the four-minute mark in the mile today. He ran
3:59.53 at the Nike Jesuit Relays in Portland, Oregon.
Slagowski,
who ran a solo
1:48.70 800m earlier this year, formerly owned a 4:05.71
personal best for the mile. His performance today marked the fourth
sub-four-minute mile run by a prep in the past calendar year.
