Super Win For Our Men Runners Today
- Thread starter UncleEd
- Start date
I get a kick when I realize Nova won this race without an American runner. Three from Australia and one from Canada. Coached by Marcus O'Sullivan, himself a native of County Cork.
Congrats to all.
One of our knowledge alumns ,who has attended something like 37 Penn Relays, reported on the pay board that the Cats are bringing in a runner from Finland in the fall.

Ed, I'ts always been that way, hasn't it; when I was here all the guys were from the land of Guinness.
True. During the Jumbo glory days there was a definite Irish pipeline with Ron Delaney, Noel Carroll et al. Sprinkle in Puerto Rico (Rolando Cruz) and homegrown talent (Bragg, Budd, Drayton, Zwolak, Traynor et al), VU track was at the pinnacle of the national scene. Jumbo moved on and then Georgetown and Arkansas jumped that pipeline. Of course today you have Oregon and some others. Damn shame we couldn't keep up the tradition. There have been many, many highlights, but it's not what it was.

CarDashin-
I know we have bumped heads before but man, you really know your s*!t. I mean, really know it. Good stuff.

thanks - am a big Nova fan - sometimes feel compelled to point out the warts as well as the good things.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out faults. Some are well within our alums ability to control, others are not. Bottom line, we are all on the same team oriented towards the same endstate.
True, but I can't drink the Kool Aid that some do - "without understanding your weaknesses, you cannot capitalize on your strengths" (Sun Tzu - 600 BC).
"we are all on the same team oriented towards the same endstate."

King: "Can't we all just getalong?"
Nice win by the Cat harriers, as the ink stained wretches used to say a hundred years ago, or so it seems.
