ST. LOUIS – Indiana State Assistant Track and Field Coach Julian Harvey was selected as the 2025 MVC Men's Outdoor Track and Field Assistant Coach of the Year, as announced Tuesday afternoon by the conference office.
 
Harvey was selected by the league's head coaches as the Men's Assistant Coach of the Year after the Sycamore sprinters scored 55 points as part of Indiana State's fourth consecutive MVC Outdoor Championship and second straight 200-point performance at the outdoor conference championships.
 
Harvey's sprinters earned four all-conference honors at the MVC Outdoor Championships, with Indiana State producing the 100m and 200m champions in Terrance O'Bannon and Casey Hood Jr., along with the conference-winning 4x100m relay of Hood Jr., Daunte Majors, Matthew Wray and O'Bannon. Indiana State scored at least five points in every sprints event, with the Sycamores' relays also scoring 15 points over the course of the weekend.
 
Under Harvey's watch, Casey Hood Jr. was the MVC Most Valuable Athlete and Most Outstanding Track Athlete, scoring more than 20 points at the MVC Outdoor Championships while also breaking the 100m school record with a wind-legal 10.08 in April. Four Sycamore sprinters ran program top-10 100m times during the 2025 season (Hood Jr. 10.08, Terrance O'Bannon 10.30, Daunte Majors 10.39, Ray Brodie 10.44), with Hood Jr. (20.64) and Majors (20.92) also running program top-10 200m times. Trent Jones (47.20) and Ivan Weaver (47.31) both ranked among the top 400m times in program history with their efforts this season, while Indiana State's 4x100m relay produced a pair of program top-10 marks during the 2025 campaign.
 
Tuesday's announcement marks Harvey's first MVC Assistant Coach of the Year honor.
