TERRE HAUTE, Ind.  - A revised schedule for the 2012 Indiana State outdoor track & field season has been released by head coach Angela Martin. The schedule features one home meet for the Sycamores, that coming on April 13-14 when Indiana State hosts three teams for the Pacesetter Quadrangular.

Indiana State was scheduled to open the outdoor season by hosting the annual "Ice Dual" between the Sycamores and Eastern Illinois University Panthers on Saturday, March 24. However due to the North Gymnasium of the ISU Arena being unavailable that day the meet was moved to Charleston, Ill. The availability of the North Gymnasium is a necessary component of hosting a meet in case of inclement weather.

The Sycamores will host Southern Illinois, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Butler for the annual Pacesetter Quadrangular on Friday, April 13, and Saturday, April 14. Competition will begin at 2 p.m. (ET) on April 13 with the hammer throw, shot put, long jump, 3,000 meter steeplechase, and 5,000 meter run. Saturday's events begin at 10 a.m. (ET) with the discus throw. A complete schedule can be found at GoSycamores.com

Indiana State will also compete at the Big Blue Classic in Charleston, Ill. (Mar. 29-31), the Auburn Tiger Track Classic in Auburn, Ala. (Apr. 6-7), the Polytan Indiana Invitational in Bloomington, Ind. (Apr. 21-22), the EIU Tuesday Tweener in Charleston, Ill. (Apr. 24), the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa (Apr. 26-28), and the Billy Hayes Invitational in Bloomington, Ind. (May 4).

The 2012 State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships will be held May 11-13 in Wichita, Kan. The Sycamores will also compete at the NCAA Preliminary Round in Jacksonville, Fla. (May 24-26) ahead of the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines, Iowa (June 6-9).
