Known for its middle-distance prowess, Penn State will be home to some incredible NCAA action this weekend
Flotrack finally makes its way to University Park, PA for Penn State’s National Invitational. Although the Ashenfelter Track has seen some action earlier this season, it’s time to pump those hydraulics, lift that track off the ground, and get ready for some big racing.
Flotrack finally makes its way to University Park, PA for Penn State’s National Invitational. Although the Ashenfelter Track has seen some action earlier this season, it’s time to pump those hydraulics, lift that track off the ground, and get ready for some big racing.
Before we delve into the specifics of the invitational races, here’s PSU head coach Beth Alford-Sullivan and GoPSUTV’s quick preview:
We’ll be live from Happy Valley for both Friday, January 31st and Saturday, February 1st. Although there are plenty of preliminary sprint heats on Friday night, there’s some premier distance action as well. If speed is more of your cup of tea, then Saturday’s sprint and middle-distance seeded heats will be like that perfect mug of Earl Grey.
Although there’s more than just three competitions that we could highlight (the men's mile and women's DMR just missed the cut), here’s a trio of races that make our trip across the country worth it.
