I Didn't Forget The Jumpers

The Jumpers also had a wonderful Penn Relays Carnival last week, with Brian Leap attaining B1G Athlete of the Week with his Tri-Phase Leap of 53' 0" to win the Championship Mens Triple Jump!

Other highlights include:

• Chisum Ifedi  2nd place in the Men's  High Jump with 6' 11.5"
• Four Nittany Lions placing high in the Women's Pole Vault.  Hannah Mulhern (12' 9.5"), Kasey Kemp (12' 5.5"), Erin Knabe (12' 5.5") and Megan Fry (11' 11.75")
• Danielle Gibson  4th in the Women's Long Jump with 18' 10"

I Never Bother To Try To Take PSU XC/Track Photos Anymore

When I attend XC of Track events at PSU, I hardly ever take any pictures of the action anymore.  There are so many people much better at it than I am.

One of those is Jim McClelland, father of Mike McClelland.  I briefly saw both of them at the Penn State National.  Mike is getting ready for his last outdoor season.  Remember he will be returning the Golden Putter at this year's Reunion in May!

Here's a sample of Jim's work.  PSU had 4 Women pole vaulters over 13' 1" at the meet this past weekend! This is Kasey Kemp's PR!
