Last Time Out: Indoor Season

Cooper Williams also set a meet record in the 800m with a time of 1:47.65. The first indoor home meet brought Indiana 14 first place finishes which was most of the season in a single meet. Another nine victories came at the Hoosier Hills Invitational which saw Anna Watson capture her third straight pole vault title. 11 personal bests came down at the two-day B1G SPIRE Invitational. Dom Day set a personal record in the long jump at the Hawkeye Invite the same weekend. Dominate all season, Rikkoi Brathwaite won the 60m at Big Ten Championships with Big Ten record tying time of 5.56. The time was also the ninth fastest in the world at that time. Cooper Williams won the 600m where his prelim time of 1:16.68 was the third fastest in the world. Ben Veatch completed the distance-double by crossing first in the 3000m and the 5000m. Nathan Stone won his first career Big Ten title in the pole vault. The men finished in second as a team while the women came in sixth.
NCAA Indoor Championships

Maddy Pollard finished seventh in the shot put, heaving a distance of 16.99m (55' 9").
Rikkoi's Got Skills

In the Hunt
