State College TFXC

CONGRATS Alyssa Lipski!!! It may be the wrong event pic, it may be the wrong spelling of her name but Alyssa is all about it!!! What a day for this determined kid! On February 4th she sustained an ankle injury that ended her indoor season. But she never took her foot off the gas. Big CONGRATS to Alyssa and Coach Mallory Kauffman!!!!
Editor’s Note: Coach Artie was not involved in the picture picking process. This time…

Nice article on Nick Sloff! This quote from Sloff says everything. Everything about why he excels and why we’re so proud of him!

“I want to be known as a good friend and someone who people enjoyed running with,” Sloff said. “As someone who could be a good leader and push their teammates to be better as well.”

One of the pics used in the article was taken by none other than, Alexandra “Toni” Antoniono, a SCTF/XC Alum who helps out at all our meets! When she’s not studying abroad in Italy!

Hometown hero Nick Sloff continues Penn State track and field career with historic indoor season While junior Nick Sloff is now the face of the Penn State men’s distance squad, that wasn’t the star runner’s original plan.

Last weekend several members of SCTF shipped up to Boston for the New Balance Indoor Nationals!!! Great competitive experience!!! Thank you SCTF Team members and parents for capturing so many great moments!!! !!! !!!
