Four Sycamores named to MVC Women’s Track 25-Year Team

ST. LOUIS - Holli Hyche, Omegia Keeys, Erica Moore and Katie Wise have been named to the MVC Women's Track 25-Year Team, the Valley announced Thursday morning.
 
Team composition for each sport has been determined by a 25-person committee (two representatives from each MVC institution and a panel of five voters from the Conference office). The team composition includes years in which league teams competed under the MVC umbrella during the past 25 years (1992-2017) and does not include competition from the current season. The voting panel determined a 'Top 10' from a list of 25 finalists. Four of those top-10 honorees come from Indiana State, with Holli Hyche being the top vote-getter.
 
The Missouri Valley Conference was founded in 1907 and is the nation's second oldest Division I athletics conference. Women's sports were incorporated into the MVC in 1992, having previously competed under the Gateway Conference banner from 1982-92. In August 2017, the Conference announced its 2018 Hall of Fame Class, which featured three women (in the six-person class). A total of 22 women's athletes, coaches and pioneers have been honored by the MVC as part of the Hall.
 
Hyche, arguably the most decorated athlete in ISU track and field history, competed at Indiana State from 1991-1994, winning seven national championships during her tenure. She was also a 10-time All-American, 11-time MVC champion, six-time All-MVC honoree, owns four championship records, four all-time records and is a five-time track MVP. Hyche also owns the school records in the 60-meter dash, 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash (indoors and outdoors).
 
Joining Hyche are fellow standout sprinters Omegia Keeys and Katie Wise. Keeys was an athlete for ISU from 1994-1996, earning All-American honors twice, winning three conference championships, was a five-time MVC honoree and competed at the 1995 Pan American Games. She is second in school history in the indoor 200-meter dash and third in the 100-meter dash and outdoor 200-meter dash.
 
Sprinting for the Sycamores from 2013-2016, Wise earned All-American honors four times, was a nine-time MVC champion, six-time All-MVC honoree, three-time Most Outstanding Athlete and is a championship record holder. Wise holds the second-best time in school history in the 60-meter dash, 100-meter dash and outdoor 200-meter dash, as well as third overall time in the indoor 200-meter dash.
 
400-meter dash and hurdler standout Erica Moore was also honored as a member of the MVC Women's Track 25-Year team. Moore was a member of the track and field team at Indiana State from 2007-2010 and owns the school-records in both the outdoor 400-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles. On top of that, she is also a two-time All-American, seven-time MVC champion, eight-time All-MVC honoree, two-time Most Outstanding track athlete and owns the outdoor championship and MVC outdoor 400-meter hurdle records.
