Recently, "This is Penn State" hit the road -- and hit the track.
In the latest episode, the spotlight turned to Penn State Lehigh Valley, where a nearby velodrome has made cycling a top sport.
The campus has produced Olympic cyclists and is currently under the direction of alumna Mandy Marquardt, a seven-time national champion with Olympic aspirations of her own.
