Lansdale Native To Compete For Stanford At Penn Relays

LaSalle High School grad and Lansdale native Tom Coyle will compete for Stanford University this weekend in two of the most highly anticipated races of the Penn Relays.

Coyle is entered on Stanford’s distance medley relay on Friday and their 4xmile on Saturday.

Standford is seeded sixth in the DMR and second in the 4xmile.

Coyle joined the ranks of the American elite this winter when he broke the illustrious 4 minute barrier in the mile, clocking a 3:59.32 in February.
