Penn State men cruise to first-ever Big Ten track & field championship

UNIVERSITY PARK

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.
