Another Alumni Singlet At Hayward Field?


Actually Isaiah Harris wore his Throwback singlet, which closely resembles our very own Alumni Singlets.  That wasn't by chance either.  Coach Gondak or Isaiah himself decided to give all of us a hat-tip, I'm sure!  And Isaiah still was wearing his blue wristband we presented to him at the Reunion.

The Finals of the Olympic Trials 800M showcased 2 Nittany Lions yesterday, with Casimir Loxsom joining Isaiah with Olympic team spots on the line.

Casimir and Isaiah both seemed nicely placed after the first lap, but Casimir never found another gear and finished 9th overall.  Isaiah hung on and was still in third place with 50 meters to go, but just didn't have quite enough to finish it off. The only NCAA athlete One of only two NCAA athletes in the field showed just how long the college season(s) is (are).  Still, a 6th place finish by a college Freshman (Sophomore-to-be) is really a nice highlight to the season.
