Joe Kovacs Won More Than Our Performance Of The Year!
It was a very strong year for PSU Alumni. We had incredible performances that ended up not receiving any votes in our poll. I find it hard to believe that Brannon Kidder's appearance in the 2019 World Championship 800M Semi-Finals failed to garner even a single vote! Even Michael Shuey didn't get a single vote for his 4th place finish at the Pan Am Javelin toss.
To be honest, both of those performances were overshadowed by other performances from the same Lions. Brannon posted a vote for his 3:35.27 1500M and Michael came in a strong 4th place for his National Championship in the USATF Javelin.
There was a tie for 2nd place between Danae River's NCAA Championship in the Indoor 800M and Doug Walter's donation of part of his liver to his nephew. (Wow, tough crowd!)
But again on the top of the podium was Joe Kovacs, this time for his incredible last throw victory by 1cm with a Shot Put toss over 75 feet in distance by two other competitors.
Track and Field News called this the best ever Shot Put competition and has named it as their Performance of the Year also. I'm sure Joe will value our honor as more special!
