Myles Marshall | Hometown: Kingwood, Texas | High School: Kingwood
Event: 800m

Two-time Texas state champion in the 800-meter run, Member of Team USA

Coach Gondak on Myles: “Myles is the No. 1 recruit in the
country for the 800 and an outstanding student. From day one in the
recruiting process I felt Myles would be a great fit at Penn State and
we are thrilled he feels the same way. His speed and strength will help
him contribute in the 400, 600, 800 and the 4x4 at Penn State. Myles’
mother and father were both world-class athletes and we look forward to
helping Myles get to that level as well.”
And another hat-tip to our Chief Morale and Laundry Officer. (And Coach Gondak, don't forget the 4 x 800 too!)
