20th Annual Alumni Reunion And Coach Harry Groves Golf Tournament

 

20^th Annual Penn State Track and Field Alumni Gathering / Harry Groves Golf Outing

(MAY 13 – 14, 2022)

As I normally start these invites, let me first apologize to anyone receiving this notification that may not be interested in attending this event – we’ve done what we could to screen / purge addresses, but unfortunately, it’s not full-proof…                     

This year, the opening reception and dinner will take place at two different venues with the Days Inn closing its doors.  We have moved the host hotel to the Graduate (the old Atherton Hotel at 125 South Atherton Street) – where we have blocks of rooms reserved there for $129 / night (held until April 13) – (reference the Penn State Track and Field Alumni gathering) – phone number there is (844) 888- 4723 (Sara Ghazi is the contact).  As an alternative, the Ramada (1450 South Atherton St – (814) 238-3001) usually has rooms available around $115 (there is no block reserved there however, because we have not had enough people stay there in the past for them to block anything off(!)) –   

FRIDAY’S (MAY 13^th) EVENTS:                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

7:00pm – 10:00pm   Meet and Greet cash bar (hors d ‘oeuvres will be provided) - The Graduate Hotel                                                                                                                                    

50-50, Putting contest, other games TBD (bar crawl sure to follow)

SATURDAY (MAY 14^th) EVENTS: 

9:00am – 10:30am   - The Numbnutz Alumni Triathlon held at the outdoor track – Scoring will be 5 for first, 3 for

second, 1 for third – winner determined by most points earned in all three events (Events yet to be    determined but accepting any crazy ideas you may have!).    

12:00pm – 5:30pm   The Golf outing will be held at the Mountain View Country Club (old Elks Club) again this

year with the putting contest taking place at 11:15.  If you need clubs, there are always folks bringing extra sets so you don’t have to worry about renting (be sure to let us know when you register, so we can plan to have them there).

1:00pm – 3:00pm   Activities for those not golfing (Depending upon weather and volunteers), we will have a

group gathering to hike Mt. Nittany or take a campus tour (either to the Creamery or the Sports Museum (may be an additional cost)).  Meeting spot(s) and tour guide(s) to be announced Friday night – leaving from the hotel lobby.  Vivian Riddick will not be attending this year because her daughter is graduating so we’re looking for volunteers!

7:00pm – 10:00pm   Dinner reception and awards ceremony for golf outing will take place at THE HYATT PLACE 

(219 West Beaver Avenue)
