SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Sycamores took advantage of their last competition before the MVC Championships with several strong performances, led by Akis Medrano and Alli Workman's top-10 performances.
 
Akis Medrano put on an impressive performance in the mile run, earning the first top-10 performance of the day. Medrano now owns the eighth-best time in school history after crossing the finish line at 4:07.67, good enough fifth-place among some of the nation's best. He now has the fourth overall time in the MVC.
 
The Sycamore long jumpers found success on Saturday as well, as Scott Schreiber took home the victory for the men with a mark of 7.26m (23-10.00). Schreiber's mark of 7.38m (24-02.50) from the Meyo Invite (also at Notre Dame) still leads the Missouri Valley.
 
Corey DuPriest also earned himself a top-three finish in the long jump at third with a mark of 6.90m (22-07.75). DuPriest sits at fifth in the Valley thanks to his mark of 7.05m (23-01.75) from the Mark Messersmith Invite.
 
On the track for the women, Brooke Moore took home her first win of the indoor season in the mile with a season-best time of 4:52.07. Her time moves her up to fourth in the conference.
 
Alli Workman also performed well in the mile, picking up a fourth-place finish with a time of 4:55.85, which is also the sixth-best time in Indiana State history. That moves her into the top-10 in the conference at ninth.
 
Senior Jamie Newsome had her best performance of the season in the long jump, claiming the runner-up spot with a mark of 5.60m (18-04.50). Her previous season-best in the long jump also came from Notre Dame at the Meyo Invite.
 
The next time the Sycamores are in action a conference title will be on the line. The MVC Championships begin next Saturday, Feb. 24 and will conclude on Feb. 25.
