Borchers, PSU distance medley relay team 9th in NCAAs

Sam Borchers ran the 1600-meter anchor leg in 4:02.62, to lead Penn State to a fourth-place finish in their heat in the distance medley relay in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend. The DMR team finished 9th overall. He did not compete in the 800 meters.

"I couldn't be more proud of our men's distance medley," said Coach Beth Alford Sullivan, according to the Go PSU Website. "We came in ranked 17th, and the guys gave it a tremendous effort. While its heart breaking to be ninth, it was inspiring to be represented by such a fine group of young men."
