Vols outrun Wildcats . . . just barely
Philadelphia Daily News, PA - 3 hours ago
J.J. Clark, women's track and field coach at Tennessee, has been spending the last weekend in April at the Penn Relays since he was a sixth-grader. So he knows all about the traditions, particularly when it comes to Villanova, where he ran from 1982-86.
"I know what this means [to the Wildcats]," he said yesterday afternoon. "This is serious business. You have to come here ready to run. We understand the importance of that."

A year ago, the Wildcats won the distance medley relay for the first time in nearly a decade. They weren't supposed to repeat, even though they had three of their four runners back. That's because Marina Muncan, anchor supreme, wasn't. Still, with 500 meters left in the closing 1,600-meter leg, sophomore Frances Koons, who'd already made up a 15-meter deficit, went past Tennessee sophomore Sarah Bowman, who'd won the high school mile here in 2004 and '05. And Koons, who's as tough as they come, would remain a stride or two in front until they entered the final turn at Franklin Field.
