The State College Boys team won the PIAA Class 3A team title yesterday at Seth Grove Stadium in Shippensburg. They exceeded their expected point total with 47 overall points.
That makes Coach Artie Gilkes the State Champion Indoor and Outdoor Coach of 2019! Needless to say, Artie has the team believing and performing at their optimum level. Those of us who know him best, saw this coming. Having a mentor like Coach Groves and the support of the "soon-to-be largest and most active track alumni group in the world" gives great dividends. Artie is aided by several other PSU Track Alumni (Golfers) including Chris Cipro, Tom Kleban, Matt Groves and Nick K.
The story of the 41st and title-clinching point shows what Artie brings to the table for the athletes he is charged with mentoring. There are numerous future Nittany Lions coming through his tutelage. Congrats Artie.
