On the women's side, the Sycamores defeated Northern Illinois in a close battle, 182-179, and also defeated Northern Kentucky (66), Valparaiso (51), Evansville (17) and Bradley (2).
• 'High Jump U': The Sycamore high jumpers, led by legendary coach John Gartland, have had a stellar season through three meets. The Sycamore men have swept the top-three positions in the high jump in each of their first three meets, including two individual victories by Nick Schutlz. On the women's side, Kelsey Bowlds recorded the eighth-best mark in school history of 1.73m (5-08.00) at the John Gartland Invite, which is now 47th nationally.
• Female MVC Track Athlete of the Week: Imani Davis led the mid-distance runners for the Sycamore women at the John Gartland Invitational on Saturday. The senior was victorious for the second time this season in the 800-meter run, clocking a Valley leading time of 2:14.73, which converts to 2:13.20 in the Valley standings. Her time not only puts her atop the conference, but it leads the MVC by over two seconds. She was also the anchor of the MVC-leading 4X400-meter relay team that clocked a time of 3:50.54 which converts to 3:48.91, also a nearly two second lead over the rest of the Valley.
• Male MVC Track Athlete of the Week: Matthew Lewis-Banks had an impressive weekend of competition at the John Gartland Invitational. The sophomore hurdler claimed his third win in as many tries in the 60-meter hurdles, clocking a time of 8.01. His time of 7.92 from the Coughlan/Malloy Cup is still first in the Valley and 43rd nationally. In addition to winning the hurdles, he also was victorious in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.92, a personal-best and eighth-best time in the MVC, and was a member of the winning 4X400-meter relay team that finished with a time of 3:21.65, giving him three victories on Saturday.
