Hello:
Wanted to let everyone know that WV had an excellent representation at the Thursday events of this Penn Relays. I saw several good races by past and present WV runners.
Amber Riley of Preston runs 5:01 in the 1600m Kaylyn Christopher takes 4th in the 3000m with a 9:53 Clara Grandt of WVU runs 16:31 in the 5000m Kerri Bland of WVU runs 9:34 in the 3000m to win
Josh Simpson runs 14:20 in the Olympic Development 5000m
It was pretty cool to see some West Virginia uniforms in the mix. The 5ks were not terribly exciting tonight. 13:57 was the collegiate race by Scott Wall of Oregon, and 13:53 was the ODM race won by a couple of Kenyans (who supposedly had a 13:04 PR...).
The steeple was the coolest race to watch. Nicodemus Naimadu of DII Abilene Christian and David Cheromei of Virginia Intermont fame (where FH's Mohamed goes to school) battled it out. Naimadu makes it a point to sky high over the water barrier and not even get his feet wet. Then he kind of hops over the hurdle by extending one leg out and putting the other directly beneath it.
He and Cheromei basically traded laps and looked like they were out for a Sunday stroll. They ran 8:35.5 with zero difficulty. Wow.
Well, it is time for bed. Back to Frostburg tomorrow.

Following up on Dan's West Virginia representatives:
Marian Brooks of Marshall drops 17:31 in the 5k Claire Berryman (running for Penn State) runs 36:41 in the College 10k Jay Dolmage (training in Morgantown under Cleary) runs 14:40 in the Olympic Develpment 5k Ben Lukowski (running for Tennessee) pops a 14:34 5k
A very good night for WV running on a national stage - that group out of Morgantown gets more and more impressive!
