Three years ago, Penn State coach John Gondak mentally circled Sunday’s date on his calendar. He openly told his staff that was his target for the men to win a Big Ten championship — their first-ever Big Ten championship.
Mission accomplished.
The Nittany Lions won the Big Ten Outdoor Track & Field Championship on Sunday after finishing with 117 points, ahead of runner-up Ohio State (103 points) and third-place Nebraska (97). It’s the first time the Penn State men’s team has ever won the conference title, be it indoors or outdoors.
“It feels great,” Gondak said.
