NEWS AND NOTES
The Hoosiers have seven top-five marks among the women's field events in the Big Ten this season including Jayden Ulrich (shot put and discus), Serena Bolden (long jump), Paola Fernandez-Sola (long jump), Mahogany Jenkins (high jump), Makayla Hunter (javelin) and Jessica Mercier (pole vault)
Camden Marshall was named the Big Ten Men's Track Athlete of the Week on April 5th for his then NCAA-leading 3:39.51 in the 1500 meters at the Pepsi Florida Relays.
At the Penn Relays, Marshall ran the fastest carry in the men's 4x800 relay, splitting 1:46.68 to help the Hoosiers to a sixth-place finish and the No. 6 mark in program history (7:20.96).
He possesses two top-five marks in the Big Ten with his 3:39.51 in the 1500 meters (No. 3) and his 1:47.24 in the 800 meters (No. 2) from the Billy Hayes Invitational.
Ulrich was named Big Ten Women's Field Athlete of the Week on April 12th after throwing a then-Big Ten lead in the discus and then-No. 2 mark in the Big Ten in the shot put at the Triton Invitational.
Antonio Laidler became the second athlete to match or improve upon a school record during the outdoor season. He clocked a 10.20 to match Rikkoi Brathwaite's school record in the 100 meters. However, Laidler's time is the fastest by a Hoosier run within the collegiate season.
Alyssa Robinson has become one of the most versatile sprinters in program history. She is the only woman to record top-8 program marks outdoors in all three sprint events (100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters). She ran an all-conditions personal best of 11.34w (+2.2) at the Billy Hayes Invitational in the 100 meters last week.
Jake Gebhardt is the only other IU runner with two top-six Big Ten marks this year, having run 8:59.77 (3000-meter steeplechase) and 13:37.70 (5000 meters) in the opening stages of the outdoor season. He is expected to double in both events at the Big Ten Championships and contest the 5000 meters only as the postseason progresses.
The next program record to fall might come from Jenkins who keeps inching closer to becoming IU's second-ever six-foot high jumper. She attempted three tries at 1.84m/6-0.5 at the Indiana Invitational which would've broken the school record set by Emma Kimoto in 2013.
Noah Koch now owns four top-six marks in program history in just four months of competition for the Hoosiers. He threw 18.36m/60-3 (shot put) and 56.10m/184-1 (discus) at the Indiana Invitational to highlight a strong weekend.
While also studying for law schools, Serena Bolden has come to life for the Hoosiers over the last two weeks. She ran 11.72 across 100 meters to move into a tie for tenth in program history. She also has top-10 all-conditions marks in the long jump and triple jump. Additionally, she took the leadoff leg for IU's 4x100 relay team (45.43) at the Billy Hayes Invitational.
Paola Fernandez-Sola has enjoyed terrific form this season. She has a season's best of 6.49m/21-3.5 from the Tennessee Invite. Additional wind-legal marks include a 6.42-meter jump at the Texas Invitational, a 6.41-meter jump in Knoxville and a 6.32-meter jump at the Billy Hayes Invitational
Tyler Carrel and Nathan Stone have paired together to form an outstanding duo in the pole vault this season. Carrel cleared a massive personal best of 5.54m/18-2 at the Billy Hayes Invitational while Stone, the two-time defending champion outdoors in the Big Ten, has gone 5.49m/18-0 in 2023.
