PHILADELPHIA, PA. - Former Providence College track star, John Treacy ('78), will be inducted into the 2008 Penn Relay's Hall Of Fame.

Treacy's first Penn Relays appearance was a stunner, as he won the combined College and Olympic Development 10,000m race, setting a 27:55.2 record on a rainy 1978 Thursday night in Philadelphia, Pa. To this day, that mark still stands as the Carnival's collegiate record thirty years later. Two years later, he also won the Olympic Develpoment 10,000m.
