With a lot of action going on at that meet in Philadelphia, you would think there were none anywhere else, but that's not the case. There were a few and they are included in this review. We hope to get a full review of Penn up in the next couple days.
Note that as of this writing we have not been provided with results from the Lion Invitational in Middletown or the Twinboro Relays in Ramsey. As soon as we receive those results we will get them on the site and into the athlete profiles and include them in this weekly review.
