  • Last Time Out: The Sycamore men and women competed at the IU Relays last weekend against tough competition. The hurdlers were the leaders of the group, as Avery Taylor placed second in the men's 60-meter hurdles and Allana Ince took third on the women's side. The Sycamore sprinters also performed well, as JaVaughn Moore placed fourth in the 60-meter dash while Jhivon Wilson and Jarel Shaw took sixth and seventh. Frankie Young III was the leader in the field with a third-place finish in the men's long jump.
  • Top-25 Event Squads: Indiana State's male high jumpers are ranked 17th in the nation in the event squad rankings which places a rank order to a program's "squad" of athletes in a particular event, using the cumulative season-best qualifying marks from a team's top-four ranked athletes on the national desending-order list. The high jumpers have an average heighth of 2.04m (6-08.25). The men's hurdlers sit at 22nd nationally with an average time of 8.18.
  • 'High Jump U': The Sycamore high jumpers, led by legendary coach John Gartland, have had a stellar season through three meets. The Sycamore men 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 was 47th nationally.
  • Bringing Back 'Hurdle U': Sycamore hurdlers Matthew Lewis-Banks and Allana Ince had huge performances for the blue and white at the Coughlan/Malloy Cup. Lewis-Banks ran the ninth-fastest 60-meter hurdles time in school history of 7.92, which was 34th in the nation and first in the Valley, while Ince ran the fifth-best time in school history on the women's side of 8.60.
