That #PennRelays magic! @HarvardTFXC smashes the collegiate record in the women’s distance medleys relay. Their 10:37.55 also took down a 36-year-old (!) meet record!

My favorite part: “I think it’s a little more enjoyable for my mother,” Sowinski said. “When I used to race, she would show up to my meets and be too nervous to even watch. Now, she sort of knows what will happen.”

[Rich Sands @Sands]

I missed this over the weekend, but nice to see @NYTSports put a spotlight on rabbit extraordinaire @eSowinski.
