2/9/2023 9:30:00 AM | Track and Field
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The NCAA Track and Field season is winding down to the final stages of the regular season before the postseason picks up at the end of February.
Already holding some strong performances on the season, the Indiana Track and Field teams will aim to add to the collection with a split weekend of meets on Friday and Saturday.
A majority of the team will travel to the Windy City Invite with others staying home to compete in the Hoosier Hills meet on Friday.
One of the final full weekends before the Big Ten Indoor Championships (February 24-25) will see a host of Hoosiers aim to improve season-best marks heading down the homestretch of the indoor season.
LAST TIME OUT:
Indiana sent a collection of runners and throwers to the Meyo Invitational on the campus of Notre Dame.
The throwers had a big weekend, led by the trio of Noah Koch, Makayla Hunter and Jayden Ulrich.
Koch moved into No. 4 in program history indoors in both the Shot Put and the Weight Throw. Friday night, he recorded a lifetime best of 18.81m/61-8.5 in the Shot Put before tallying a big mark of 20.88m/68-6 in the Weight Throw on Saturday afternoon.
Hunter tallied a pair of personal bests with throws of 19.11m/62-8.5 (Weight Throw) and 16.22m/53-2.75 (Shot Put). Ulrich won the Shot Put with a mark of 17.28m/56-8.5 before throwing 19.15m/62-10 in the weight.
Antonio Laidler continued his hot start to the season, running 6.70 across 60 meters to move into third in program history.
Camden Marshall threw down a 1:48.83 at 800 meters to move into fourth in school history indoors.
Maddie Russin won her section of the 800 meters in a personal best time of 2:09.36.
UPCOMING MEET:
IU will split its squad for the final big weekend of the season with some of the top athletes heading to the Windy City Invite hosted by Wisconsin in Chicago and the other staying home for the Hoosier Hills meet in Bloomington.
After a weekend off, the Hoosiers' top jumpers and vaulters will be back in action with the majority heading to Chicago.
Nathan Stone, Tyler Carrel, Riley Johnston and Jessica Mercier will all compete at the Windy City Invite and are all expected to have impact at the Big Ten Championships in two weeks' time.
Paola Fernandez-Sola, Kelly Moran and Hope Purcell will all contest the Long Jump with Moran doubling back in the Triple Jump as well. Alex Smith and Kynton Grays will compete in the Long Jump with Robert Blue set to go in the Triple Jump.
Mahogany Jenkins, Taylor Schoonveld and Grayson Rolen will High Jump in Chicago.
Following an outstanding weekend, IU's top throwers will look to replicate that once more. Jayden Ulrich and Makayla Hunter will double in the Shot Put and Weight Throw as well as Noah Koch and Adam Strouf. Sean Mockler will also compete in the Weight Throw.
Some top distance talent is expected to be in attendance this weekend. Jake Gebhardt (3000m), Camden Marshall (Mile) and Parker Raymond (800m) will be lined up to run fast times.
The Hoosiers will also look for big runs from Maddie Dalton (Mile), Jenna Barker (Mile) and Sarah Schmitt (3000m) on the women's side.
IU's sprint contingent will be led by Antonio Laidler, Christopher Grant, Trelee Banks, John Colquitt, Shaton Vaughn and David Olowookere.
A selection of athletes will also compete at the Hoosier Hills meet in Bloomington on Friday afternoon. Dustin Horter, Keelan Grant and Austin Haskett will run the Mile in Boston Saturday afternoon as well.
NEWS AND NOTES
Marshalll's Hot Start
Following a strong Cross Country season that saw him finish top-25 in the Big Ten, sophomore Camden Marshall has continued that success on the track. The Big Ten Indoor Champion at 800 meters last year, he opened the season by besting the school record in the 1000 meters with a time of 2:21.64.
To follow that up, Marshall joined the elite sub 4-minute mile club at IU alongside teammate Jake Gebhardt, crossing the line in 3:59.30 to move into 10th all-time in program history.
He ran a 1:48.83 across 800 meters at the Meyo Invitational for a new personal best indoors, moving into fourth in program history.
Stone's Dominance
Already one of the best pole vaulters in program history, Nathan Stone has started to challenge for the best marks ever seen by a Hoosier.
He has opened the season by winning the first four meets in convincing fashion and has attempted for PR's every time before falling just short.
Already a three-time Big Ten Champion, Stone has big plans for his senior season in 2023.
Barker's Early Success
Jenna Barker has gotten off to a blazing start in her final season for IU.
Across the first four meets, she's set personal bests in the 800 meters (2:08.91), Mile (4:42.74) and 3000 meters (9:21.46) and was once the Big Ten leader in the Mile.
Laidler Putting in Work
Antonio Laidler has been busy for the Hoosiers in the early portions of the season and is off to a strong start.
He won the 60 meters and 200 meters at the Gladstein Invitational, IU Relays and Commodore Challenge and ran on the 4x400 relay team.
At the Meyo Invitational, he threw down a 6.70 in the 60 meters to move into third in program history.
He owns season's bests of 6.73 and 21.50 in the early portions of the season and has the potential to run on the 4x400 relay teams and Distance Medley Relay teams.
Jake's Big Weekend
Jake Gebhardt ran to a Big Ten-leading time of 7:52.97 across 3000 meters at the Indiana Relays. He shaved nearly seven minutes off his personal best and moved into No. 7 in program history.
Paola Moving Up The Charts
Paola Fernandez-Sola moved up to No. 2 in program history with her big jump of 6.39m at the Texas Tech open. She moved into No. 2 in the Big Ten conference and ranks top-10 nationally.
Already holding some strong performances on the season, the Indiana Track and Field teams will aim to add to the collection with a split weekend of meets on Friday and Saturday.
