Official Penn Relays Discussion Thread - Nova just won the men's DMR

Georgetown leading at the 400/800 handoff when they drop the baton...AND NBCSN cuts away at that point!!!!!!!

It's like they TRY TO OUT DO THEMSELVES EVERY BROADCAST!

They really can't show the whole DMR without going to ads? I'd rather skip the interviews and watch the whole race if they have to take time away from something for more ads.

We thought Rojo's alma mater was going to take that one but damn the Nova anchor crushed it.

HOPEWELL!!! LV GOES HOME DEVASTATED

I see that Garrett O'Toole is still leaning backwards and still running 4:03.

Devin Hart crushed 3k field from the gun. Kid is a stud.

Harris anchors the PSU sprint medley to a win in 1:44:74, according to the Twitter.

Will Bill Cosby be clowning his way through a relay like he used to?

Are there any videos of the Men's DMR? I'm from Binghamton and they came in 8th. I'd love to see the race.

That's a massive anchor for Comber. I just looked it up. His pbs are only 3:45/4:04 and he just came from 20 meters back to win with a 3:59. Pretty amazing. Hard to believe that Nova hadn't won the men's DMR since 2011.

Here is a nice article on Friday's action

Man I love Penn Relays, especially “back in the day” when, as a high school kid, you suddenly were part of this national/international running event with great passion and ambition.

But, it has this kind of northeast/Midwest, regional feel to it now. Championship of America seems hyperbole and the Jamaican high school kids are the main draw. I wonder what organizers can do to bring back all the big dogs from SEC and Big 12.

I remember when the Penn Relays 10,000 was a big deal, And they had a 20k Road Race.

Get rid of that ridiculous Arkansas coach for one.

Don’t sleep on Comber. Big things coming. He’ll have multiple All-Americans before he’s finished with eligibility.

Anyone have a stream link?

Did anyone else see the Shalane Flanagan Nike commercial? Better than her small appearance in the beer commercial.

Nova and Comber do it again in the 4 x mile.
