UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - If you thought for one second that things could not have gotten any better for Penn state track and field, well think again!
This past weekend, at the Penn State National, was a true testimony of how Penn State pride and spirit and can truly bring out the competitive drive in you. The momentum from our two prior meets' excellent performances propelled us in this weekend and all I can say is "PR's PR's PR's"!
All across the board records were broken, seasons best and personal best were made; starting on Friday with the woman's weight throws, the 200m sprints, and then on Saturday with the men's and women's triple jumps, the women's pole vault, the men's shot put, and the 800m distances. This meet not only proved to others that we are force to be reckoned with, but displayed the strength of our bond and family-hood.
Leading up to meet day, practice itself had a very focused and determined aura around it. Although we spent our last night with our specific event groups dining and enjoying a meal, as always, we came together and initiated our competition day with a team cheer. During, the meet we set aside time to honor and congratulate our women's team for their 2014 indoor and outdoor Big Ten Championship awards. Then, of course, we continued with our record-breaking times and distances. This season has the potential to be a very prosperous one and is in contention to be the best one to come!
We Are...Penn State!
