January 14, 2017
University Park, PA

The first meet in the 2017 Indoor Mile Series  was a big success. 43 runners! Certainly a record for a first meet, though in this year's Series, the first meet is the second meet. Penn State's traditional first meet, which would normally have been held last week, was not scheduled this year. This week's meet, in conjunction with the Penn State National, was normally the second meet of the season. The runners showed up with an extra week separation from Christmas cookies and egg nog, and an extra week of training. It was a big turnout, with plenty of great times. A few PRs were run as well.

Runners in heat 2 were tightly packed early in the race

Heat 3 was the most stylish, by far

The Penn State Cross-Country Club had a big turnout and dominated the fast heat
