Kohler Brothers Lead Tyrone to Second Place Finish at Bedford Invitational Meet

By Andrew Sherren, Staff Writer

Tyrone boys finished second as a team and Joe Kohler was named outstanding runner at the annual Bedford Giant Eagle Invitational last Saturday.  Kohler earned the award by getting first in the 800 and 1,600 meter while his brother Zach was not far behind, finishing second in the 1,600 meter and first in the 3,200 meter.

It was fun to see Joe’s black mustache run faster then any of the sprinters in the 4×400.
