FRANKLIN Field felt reading a new heart of darkness where you constantly walk around the middle of the University of Pennsylvania without ever to see the real field. The only signs you can approach are people running into warming clothes.
When I got here, I was shotting the majesty of the 130-year-old Franklin Stadium, which looks like a hybrid of colonial, gothic and Victorian architecture. According to Google’s search, the style of Pennsylvania’s university is a colonial or Victorian Gothic, so I’m exposed to something. The Franklin stadium was founded in 1895 when it was known as Pen Relays carnival. There are a handful of signs around this historic stadium that mark the majesty of this area.
The stadium has 55,000 places, which can be the only collegial football stadium in the country where there is a higher participation for the path and fields (stems from this one event) than there is football. According to Penn Relays, this is the greatest ways and field events in America. 2000 high schools, 200 college, 34 countries, 28 countries and about 18,000 athletes. They also stated that I came here that more than 100,000 fans attended every year. It will be an overvaluation. Who will know? The stadium was not fully when I got here today, but it’s not a high point on Friday.
The action started at 9 am with the boys of high school – 4 x 800 m warming. I don’t hit me as Pen Relays, which has great confidence in the event if they bury them so soon. It’s a shame because it’s a very interesting event. After the boat, 4 x 100 meters came, what I imagined that he would be inspired by Sprint relays.
When I reached there, Penn Relays was 4 x 400 m relays in the middle of a huge high school block, which lasted more than 3 ½ hours and 46 heating were displayed. I like good 4 x 4 as much as the next person, but it felt an interesting condition of whims. The effect here was also a little interesting, as the basis of every good path below the international level is enthusiastic parents who rejoice in the tribunes (and even the world’s elite). I had a hard time measuring the degree that parents sat through so many children, but there were few complaints.
“I love this event, because it’s very different cities and states, and so many variety,” said Robin Bolling, who asked that his price could not pay their price.
Jessi Levasur, who follows his son, represents the preparatory school of the Holy Spirit, says that it is difficult to go through the schedule, but he could see him for this event. A meeting of the 76-basketball legend of the 76th Basketball was a casualtial treatment, the son of which was competing for a lower Meron. According to her husband (Andre’s brother), Iguodala attended this race last year, which feels extra that all the starry NBA player will support this sport.
It was especially high point for the crowd when Quinsie Wilson and the bullfight boys left to the end. Wilson described the relle’s swimming pool and participated in a 4×400 squad of a 4×400 squad at the Paris Olympics. The team ran 3. 11.04.
“One of the things we want to do on the team is that it feels normal, that is, we don’t want them to feel about family gathering and his team.
Downington West went all the time to select a finals in a local taxi. It was difficult to say, and even the media experts could not arrange the list of qualification teams, but it seemed that Demington West was a great job.
After 4 x 4, we passed 400 obstacles to some college, 1,500, 3K Steepeplechase, and what Martin was supposed to stay behind Martin. Bob Liking did his best to make everything happen, but the weak passed 1-2-3 to the end to the end.
Next to women, Vera Sbojberg, the University of Boston, destroyed the field in the last two rounds 9 seconds victoryA number of his time 15:40 hardly cracks the best 25 For the year, but no one looked at home, would know the difference.
The statement did not make it particularly clear with many warming measures, which actually won the event. Washington University Crowd Leagues won his 400 m obstacle that remains well for Huskies their upcoming relays (he ran 400 meters of foot) The best time in the world) As for this event, he was actually the ninth, and the host is unlikely to inform us, except for one square that the winner is actually. Pittsburgh who wonA number of 400 meters obstacles are a great event to watch alive, so it was good.
When the events were eliminated, the media work was hard at work, and it was a slightly other layout than Last time I covered NCAASAccording to the director of a number of media outlets, more than 400 media requirements are. Even a stranger, almost no one who included NCAA, met with me. Instead, the vast majority of people were college media departments, local publications covered by high school sports and Ama’s American publications (I feel confident in this fact, because I have nothing).
The media room takes care of us mainly through ordering a lot of pizza. There was at least five times more pizza that people had the ability to eat. It’s hard to imagine what to do with the left recipient. The official word is that all pizzas were running out, but I find it difficult to believe it.
When I get back to the stadium at the end of the night, I saw a piece of fraudulent empty white. It felt like a site of archeological diger, which shows traces of further civilization.
I don’t mean to mislead this picture: This is a permanent favela. There is a night personnel that will clear all this. The picture shows that so many people participated in the upper tribunes. But this picture was taken before you finish the meeting. On the one hand, Penn Relays manage to unite with a path that is one of the most important events in the country Sixth most populated townOn the other hand, sports have the opportunity to go to attendance if people do not remain until the end.
Until tomorrow.
