UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - By Joey Logue, GoPSUsports.com Student-Athlete Writer UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The indoor season has officially begun for the Nittany Lions. This past weekend was the first time I was able to compete in the Penn State uniform. I had been waiting for this moment since I signed my letter of intent a year ago. This first meet was a solid opener for myself, and the rest of the middle distance men. We stacked two 4x800m relays and I know most of us surprised ourselves with how fast we ran individually and as teams. It is unbelievable that we had two teams under 7:30 and it is the first meet of the year. The work we put in all fall is now starting to show.
The atmosphere in the Ashenfelter Indoor Track on a meet day is like none other in the country. Every team member is there in support of one another. As soon as the 4x4 ended, it was awesome to see everyone who lined the track for that race go over to the shot put and watch Darrell do his thing and set the school record.
The Penn State relays were a great first experience for me and I am excited for these upcoming meets. I know Coach Gondak will prepare us to run fast and compete with the best. I am loving the process!
