Dear Track and Field/Cross Country Alumni -
2013 Reunion Invitation and RSVP || Facebook Alumni Page || UPDATED Guest List
2013 Reunion - Final Itinerary || Thanks from Coach Sullivan
I hope this finds you well and excited for the upcoming Outdoor Track and Field Season!! Attached is our registration form for the 2013 Penn State Track and Field/Cross Country Alumni Reunion Weekend. We are excited to be hosting this event again this year, and have high hopes for an even bigger and better event in 2013!
Please check this page often, as we'll be keeping an up-to-date RSVP list to see who is committed for attend!
We want to provide all of our alumni with a chance to "come home" and connect with their past, meet the present team, and join us in our pursuit for future success. We have such amazing alumni and we want you all to continue to be a part of the Proud Penn State program that continues today.
Our Alumni weekend will start off with an informal social on Friday night, where you will get the chance to meet the coaching staffs - past and present - and start off the weekend in a casual atmosphere. On Saturday morning, we will start with Alumni "Run" and "Fun" at the Nittany Lion Outdoor Track facility. We will have everything planned from a campus run, to relay races, to field event fun for everyone young and old (all in fun, of course)! In addition, you will be able to observe the 2013 team's practice, as we prepare for the NCAA First Round Competition. This was a big hit last year - for our athletes and alumni alike!
From there, you can join in on an organized tour of the Penn State Sports Museum, a group Hike of Mount Nittany, or play in the Annual Harry Groves Golf Tourney. All focused on having a good time, and remembering the "good ol' days" as you tour around Happy Valley!
After the days' activities, I hope everyone will join us on Saturday Evening for a social hour and dinner at the Ashenfelter Indoor Track. Here we will recognize all the "champions" from the days' activities and of course the prestigious "award winners" of the Harry Groves Golf Tourney. Of course, we'll hear some words from Coach Groves, as well as some of other distinguished alumni. Mix that in with our - now famous - prize raffle, and this should be a grand way to round off the weekend.
Please print and fill out the attached Registration form and send it back by the deadline on May 3. All updates will be sent out via email or you can contact us directly at the PSU Track and Field office, 814-863-3144 or contact Director of Operations, Jess Riden, via email at jnr126@psu.edu.
My goal is to provide you all with a chance to relax and enjoy Penn State, Happy Valley, and our program and of course your former team mates and coaches. The Penn State Track and Field/Cross Country program is committed to "Honoring our Past; and Empowering our Future" and I hope to see you here in May.
Sincerely,
Beth Alford-Sullivan
Director and Head Coach
