ST. LOUIS - Sycamore all-time greats Kylie Hutson and Felisha Johnson have been named to the MVC Women's Field 25-Year Team, the Valley announced Tuesday morning.
 
The 2017-18 season is a landmark one for the Missouri Valley Conference and for women's sports.  To help celebrate the 45th anniversary of Title IX and the 25th anniversary of women's sports, the Valley is naming 25-Year Anniversary Teams for each of the Valley's sponsored women's sports. 
 
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 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. The voting panel determined a 'Top 10' from a list of 25 finalists.   Those top 10 honorees are listed below, and the top vote-getter is denoted.
 
Four-time pole vault national champion (2009-10 indoor; 2009-10 outdoor) Kylie Hutson was the top vote-getter among the voting panel. During her incredible tenure at Indiana State, Hutson was also a four-time All-American, seven-time MVC Champion, seven-time All-MVC honoree and was also a four time Most Outstanding Field athlete. Hutson owns two MVC championship records and two all-time MVC records, to go along with both pole vault school records.
 
Fellow Sycamore two-time national champion Felisha Johnson was also honored as a member of the 25-Year Team as well. Johnson won the 2011 and 2013 Indoor National Championship in the weight throw, and was also a seven-time All-American, three-time MVC champion, five-time All-MVC honoree and was a two-time Most Outstanding Field athlete. She holds the indoor Indiana State school records shot put and weight throw, as well as the outdoor school record in the shot put.
