But 2 on the first day of 10 is rather great, isn't it?
It certainly is a rare day when news that 3 Nittany Lions made the 16 man Semi-Finals of the 800M Olympic Trials (
later today!) isn't enough for a
PSU is 800U headline.
- Isaiah Harris - winner heat 3 (53.37) 1:47.60
- Brannon Kidder - 3rd heat 2 (52.86) 1:46.22
- Casimir Loxsom - 2nd heat 3 (53:06) 1:47.76
And this doesn't rise to the level high enough to warrant a headline!
Because PSU nearly dominated the Shot Put Finals. Those formerly affiliated with PSU finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th!!
- Joe Kovacs - 2nd (21.95) 72' 1/4" Olympian!
- Darrell Hill - 3rd (21.63) 70' 11" Olympian!
- Ryan Whiting - 4th (20.89) 69' 6 1/2" (former assistant coach)
- with my contemporary PSU thrower Mark Heckel ringside as an Official!
