We Always Said It, But The 90s Guys Codified It

It has been a joke since the very first students attending the land-grant farmer's high school that became our alma mater.  With the electric chair housed at nearby Rockview Prison, the moniker became even more funnier after Penn State became a University.

State Penn!

But the 1993 XC squad took the name to a new level when they warmed up at the NCAA XC Championships with the t-shirts made up by Leif Steiner.  Even Coach Groves got in on the action during the meet.  I believe these photos were by Brian Boyer and the bike in the last pic is Matt Hutzelmann's

 

Tom McGlynn, Bob Hamer, Coach Groves, Harry Stants, Ken Cooper.

Coach is holding Jake Bartholomy's All-American Certifate for finishing 29th. The team finished in 14th place overall.  Not bad for a bunch of convicts!

Visiting Coach Is Becoming A Trend

Our Course Marshall sends me another pic of a visitor for Coach Groves!  Tom McGlynn had the pleasure of listening to some of his stories during his morning walk.  And others have inquired how to visit him at Juniper Village, his current residence.

Don't worry, Coach never runs out of great T&F stories for all of us!

Greg Fredericks, Coach Groves and Tom McGlynn.(Yes, that's a Harvard hat AND another story!)

Official Physicist Chimes In! (To Point Out Another Error On My Part!)

Brian Boyer, still our only Group's Official Physicist because Ron Moore apparently can't golf (hee hee hee), chimed in with news of additional Alums on the turf in San Francisco for the Club National Cross Country Meet.  Both Harry Stants and Tom McGlynn placed highly in the Masters Mens 10K with some really good times.
