Michigan Is Upset Winner of Men's Distance Medley.

April 25 2003.
Nick Willis, a freshman from New Zealand, opened for Michigan, running the fastest 1200-meter leg in Penn Relays history, 2:49.7, giving the Wolverines a slim lead over Kentucky, Florida, Villanova and Arkansas.

Nick also ran 1:47.9 in the 4 x 800m relay, he is now being look at by Athletics NZ for inclusion in the team for the Paris world championships in August (he would have to run under 1:47 to achieve the B standard). Michigan finished seventh in the 4 x 800 after the lead-off runner (not Nick) dropped the baton.
