And don't forget to get your entries in for this year's Reunion. You can do it the old fashioned way by sending the monies in to Harry Smith or to me via PayPal on the top of the full web site! Not available yet on the handheld site or via the Facebook Page. The Interns will get around to it.
Kevin Kelly O'Brien has a lot of time on his hands following his complete body transplant. (I suppose it only feels like that, Kelly?) So he did the work of all 5 Basement Interns and came up with the complete list of PSU qualifiers for the upcoming USATF Olympic Trials in the refurbished Hayward Field.
That is, of course, subject to change. Please chime in with any updates or changes!
First, Morgan Shigo (6) in the Hammer. Then, 2 in the 800M, Isaiah Harris (5) and Brannon Kidder (7). Third, 2 more in the Javelin, Mark Porter (7) and returning Champion Michael Shuey (1). Finally, two more in the Shot Put, Diamond League Champion Darrell Hill (4)and World Champion Joe Kovacs (2).
And last week, the USATF Road Mile Championships were held, with Colin Abert finishing in 6th place with 4:00.7.
The final 600 M were on the track!
And he backed it up today at the Drake Relays with a Mile PR in 4:00.65 after a warm-up 1500M yesterday 3:41.73 to pace the college division.
