Penn State track and field sees school record set for second weekend in a row

Penn State hosted the Sykes & Sabock Challenge this Saturday afternoon and honored its 12 seniors before the track events started at the meet.

Compared to last weekend’s meet, the Sykes & Sabock Challenge was relatively small and featured just 10 teams. Most participants were from in-state universities, as athletes from Penn, Villanova and Bucknell provided the Nittany Lions with tough competition.

Many of the Penn State’s athletes competed in just one event, allowing them to focus themselves and their energy on a singular event to go for a good time or distance/height.

To kick things off on the track, the Nittany Lions had a strong showing in the men’s mile, placing three athletes within the top four.
