Congratulations to the women's track team
Wick250:
Beat Milwaukee decisively in Wisconsin, 172-129. Numerous individual winners over the two-day span. Men finished as the runner-up behind Milwaukee. Weren't even competitive. (175-108.)
I think this marks the first time in about three years that a YSU team has won a Horizon League title in any sport.

Congrats to the girls. Understood it's weak League. But it is a League.....and they won. They did what they should do.
Like to see some athletes at the NCAA...qualifiers.....(or maybe some folks are content to be "happy" with a League Title in a bad League).

Pizza. At least we are happy about something ;)
You should know that a team could finish last in a conference and still have qualifiers. Track is a team sport with individual events, which is why it is such a great sport. You qualify for regional by finishing in a certain time, throwing a certain distance, or finishing in a certain place. What place your team finished at has nothing to do with that. However, when it is conference time ...that is a different story. So be happy with what we have got. Lady Pen track and field rules!!!!!! Men were great as well.
PS: If you want to complain about something ...complain about a soccer field being built when we need facilities for a sport we can be competitive in. Also we have 4 ...possibly 5 qualifiers. I think Pompeo qualified ..that will make 5.

Agreed. Like I said, they won League. And like you said, track is not subjective. You have the distances, heights, times.....or you don't. The number of kids who make to regionals/nationals is the true test. The true measure. Everyone knows that.
