LAST TIME OUT

The women's side came down to the last event, but the Sycamores managed to hold on for the win with 174 points, defeating Southern Illinois (172), Bradley (77), Loyola (19) and Valparaiso (1).
 
FIELD ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Earning his first Athlete of the Week honor in his career, Kevin Krutsch was victorious in the men's high jump on Saturday, walking away with a win after tying a personal-best clearance of 2.11m (6-11.00). The freshman sits atop the Missouri Valley Conference standings with teammate Nick Schultz, with the next closest clearance coming at 2.02m (6-07.50). He is also 26th in the nation.
 
CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT
In the fourth meet of her Sycamore career, Selene Weaver improved her pole vault mark for the fourth-consecutive time. At the Indiana State Invitational, the freshman claimed victory in the pole vault, overtaking her own facility record with a personal-best clearance of 3.82m (12-06.25), pushing her to seventh all-time in Sycamore history. She is now second in the Missouri Valley Conference.
