There are alums in action even following the World Championships.
Joe Kovacs will continue his season in Europe, joined by Darrell Hill. They placed first and third at the recent American Track League meet.
Brannon Kidder (4th) and Isaiah Harris (8th) also mixed it up at the same meet in the 800M. The Womens 800M had Danae Rivers placing 8th.
And Doreen McCoubrie was the 5000M USATF (60-64yo) National Champion at the Masters Nationals in Kentucky.
The Fullers arrived and kicked butt at the Harrisburg Mile yesterday. Brian Fuller led the Elite Mile, while brothers Kevin Fuller and Mark Fuller placed 3rd and 14th. In addition Katie Fuller won the Open Womens Division.
Incoming PSU Freshman and Australian sensation Hayley Kitching won the Elite Womens Mile! Welcome to Central PA, Hayley.
In a glaring failure on the part of the Interns, I failed to notice that Wendy Nelson Barrett won the Womens 50-54 age group!
Another Silver Medal performance for Joe Kovacs at the World Championships. Not bad if you consider that his competition is simply by far the best shot putter in world history.
The USA sweep in the shot put with Ryan Crouser and Josh Awotunde taking Gold and Bronze.
Mark even ran into 1977 teammate of our's Gary Williky.
