It was just another day at the office for the Penn State women's track and field team -- day, meaning weekend.

In what has become a routine, the Nittany Lions chalked up 10 more NCAA regional qualifying marks at the Sea Ray Relays in Knoxville, Tenn.

The story of the meet, though, was Tennessee freshman-phenom Tianna Madison, who scorched the field to win both the 100-meter dash and the long jump.

Penn State women's track coach Beth Alford-Sullivan was both surprised and impressed with the newest Big Orange superstar.

"We've seen the Tennessee group so much it's really fun to see them in action," she said. "Madison was great to watch; we're going to be seeing a lot of her in the future."

Madison isn't alone in the Class of 2007.

Kamilah Salaam had a breakthrough meet for the Lions, coming in sixth place in the 200-meters.

Don't be fooled -- sixth place doesn't sound spectacular, but consider the caliber of competition in Knoxville this weekend. Salaam's time of 23.80 seconds, a regional qualifier, is second to only Connie Moore's Penn State record time in the event.

"Kamilah was outstanding," Alford-Sullivan said.

"I mean, look at it in perspective. If there was no Connie Moore, this would be a record," she added.

Moore, the most decorated sprinter in Penn State history, did not compete in the individual events and was used only in the 4x100 and 4x200-meter relays.

Alford-Sullivan indicated that Moore did not compete in the 100- or 200-meter open events because the staff felt it would be better to keep the senior healthy.

"It's a long season and we really need to make sure that, as a team, we're pacing ourselves," Alford-Sullivan said. "She's got a lot of races ahead of her and we didn't want her to over do it."

As disappointing as it was that Moore didn't get the chance to compete against Madison, or Tennessee's other strong sprinter Dee Dee Trotter, she did help the two relay squads turn in regional qualifying times in both events.

Even with 10 regional qualifying marks, the Lions didn't have a first place finish.

The top Lions of the day were Ja'Nai O'Connor and Ashley Colley; both finished in second place in the shot put and javelin, respectively, earning regional qualifying marks.

Chi Chi Aduba was finally back to her old form in the long jump and triple jump, earning regional qualifying marks in both events.

Just like Aduba, sophomore Tracey Braucksieck clocked in her first big performance of the year in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

In a meeting before the action started Alford-Sullivan questioned how hard this team wanted to win.

"I told them I see a lot of fire in this squad and that now it's time for people to step it up and produce," Alford-Sullivan said.

Alford-Sullivan noted that this team is right where it should be in the middle of April and is looking to cruise into the two meets this coming weekend.
