Sycamores handle Illinois State in dual meet at Rose-Hulman

staff report The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Sun Jan 13, 2013, 05:00 AM EST

TERRE HAUTE — Backed by some outstanding individual performances and a balanced team effort, Indiana State retained the Coughlan-Malloy Cup for the seventh straight year with a 186-107 victory over Illinois State in a dual meet Saturday inside the Rose-Hulman Sport and Recreation Center.

The Indiana State men won for the seventh straight year with a 98-46 victory, while the Sycamore women rebounded from their only loss in the nine-year history of the series, which they suffered a year ago, to defeat the Redbirds 88-61.

“We had a lot of good performances and a balanced team effort,” ISU women’s coach Angela Martin said. “Illinois State has a very good team, but each of our ladies gave her best effort today and we picked up the win. I am looking forward to next week and see us continue working hard.”

Indiana State men’s coach John McNichols also said it was a balanced team effort that lifted the Sycamores to the win.

“We had a very balanced team effort today,” he said. “We did see a few things that we need to work on this next week but I was pretty pleased with the effort today.”

The Indiana State women won nine of the 14 events in overcoming an early deficit and pulling away in the final events.

The Sycamore men had an even more dominating performance as they won 13 of the 14 events on their way to their eight win in the nine-meet Coughlan-Malloy Cup series.



Among the highlights:

 • Katie Wise ran the second-fastest 60-meter dash in school history as she won the event with a personal-best time of 7.46 seconds. Wise also broke the Rose Sports and Recreation Center record of 7.70 set by Jeanne Middleton of Indiana State in 2009 and the “Cup” record of 7.53 by Illinois State’s Yomeaqua Brents in 2009.

• Leeann Michl dominated the 800 as she ran to a five-second victory with a time of 2:10.34 which is her best time of the season and should keep her in the top 10 of the nation. Shelby Higginbotham was third in 2:16.13.

• The Sycamore women swept the top four spots in the 60 hurdle finals led by the winning effort of Stacia Weatherford in 8.71. The time broke the Rose-Hulman Sports and Recreation Center record of 8.77 set by Illinois Wesleyan’s Amanda LaRocca in 2009 and also broke Weatherford’s own “Cup” record of 8.80 set last year.

• Felisha Johnson won the shot put with a heave of 55 feet, 111⁄2 inches and placed second in weight throw with a toss of 67-51⁄4. Johnson’s winning throw in the shot put was a Rose Sports and Recreation Center record, breaking the mark set last year by Illinois State’s Brittany Smith at 16.45 meters. It also broke the “Cup” record, which was also held by Smith.

• ISU’s Ioanna Koltsidou won the high jump by clearing 5-41⁄2 with Katie Bekavac second (5-3 1/4). The Sycamores dominated the pole vault as they took the top four spots. Kimyanna Rudolph cleared 12-61⁄4 to win the event.

• Carmelia Stewart was a winner in the long jump with a leap of 18-8. Shalesa Smith took the triple jump with a distance of 39-3 with Stewart placing second (37-11 1/2).

• The 4x400 relay team of Macey Black, Weatherford, Michl and Higginbottom ran to victory with a time of 3:49.14.

• Justin Baxtron was one of two double winners on the day as he won both the 60 and 200 races. Baxtron edged out teammate Devin Price and Illinois State’s Benjamin Sparkman to win the 60 dash as Baxtron was clocked in 7.00.

• The Sycamores also dominated the 60 hurdles with Greggmar Swift running out to the win in 7.78, which is a season best and should keep him the top five of the national rankings. The time also broke the Rose Sports and Recreation Center record of 8.12 set by Rose-Hulman’s Sutton Coleman in 2012 and Swift’s own “Cup” record he set a year ago at 7.80.

• Arqeil Shaw ran away with the victory in the 400 with a time of 50.33 with Kevin Piraino a close second in 50.63.

• Indiana State also posted the top three spots in the men’s mile with Dustin Betz winning in 4:17.57, Corey Hahn second in 4:19.82 and Taylor Head third in 4:20.64. The sweeping Sycamores had the top three spots in the 3,000 with John Mascari running away with the victory in 8:26.29 and Gabe Ocasio (8:41.54) edging out teammate Tristan Selby (8:41.57) for second.

• Chris Fields was the other double winner for Indiana State as he won the shot put with a throw of 53-9 and also posted a win in the weight throw with a distance of 62-21⁄4.

• Robert Webb was the winner in the high jump as he cleared 6-63⁄4 with Jamal Hampton taking second (6-2 1/4). Connor Curley cleared a personal best height of 15-7 to win the pole-vault competition.

• Kevin Piraino won the triple jump with a distance of 41-6.

• Max Tuttle, Kevin Piraino, Ryan Dickson and Jonathan Jackson combined to win the 4x400 relay in 3:20.54.

In other track action:

• Engineers fare well — Rose-Hulman earned 10 men’s and two women’s Division III victories to highlight the Terre Haute Double Dual at the Sports and Recreation Center on Friday.

In Division III action, Rose won the men’s competition with 126 points to top Washington University and Illinois Wesleyan.

In the Division III competition, senior Travis Stallings led the men’s individual performances with two individual and one relay victory. Stallings recorded a long-jump mark of 22 feet, 10 inches, which ranks second in school history and a 200-meter winning time of 22.94, which ranks fifth.

He was also on the winning 4-x-400 relay team that included sophomore Blake Schulthies, sophomore Jake Kelley and senior Tyler Hannan that finished in 3:28.19.

On the women’s side, senior Liz Evans won the high jump with the nation’s top Division III effort this season of 5-7.

Junior Ryann-Rebecca Montgomery added a mile win in 5:27.18.

One school record also fell as senior Tanya Colonna earned runner-up honors with a pole-vault leap of 10-63⁄4.

Rose-Hulman returns to action at the Friday Night Invitational next weekend in the Sports and Recreation Center.

• ISU baseball team builds on success with 14-2 rout

  Indiana State’s baseball victory over Alcorn State on Friday would take on more meaning Saturday if the Sycamores could build momentum and pick up on the good work they did in Friday’s ninth-inning rally.
  Mission accomplished.
  The Sycamores were aggressive from the opening inning at the plate and starting pitcher Devin Moore gave them eight valuable and effective innings on the mound as ISU defeated Alcorn State 14-2 at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a really good experience for everybody. It felt great to finally come out here and put some things together. It’s also really nice when your offense puts a lot of runs on the board,” Moore said.
  Moore’s eight innings of work were as valuable as gold to an ISU team that is short on quality arms due to injury and ineffectiveness. He didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning and one of the two runs he conceded was unearned.

  Pole vault is track and field for the adrenaline junkie, Indiana State senior Nicole Hope proclaimed during a recent practice at Marks Field.
  To catapult oneself about 14 feet into the air with a large $500 fiberglass pole on a daily basis is a risky endeavor.
  “We have to be fearless. You can’t be afraid at all,” said Hope, who has also catapulted herself into the NCAA’s elite in the event, ranking 15th in the NCAA with her leap of 13-feet, 9 1/4.

• Secret weapon: Kelsey Rosselli finishing Woods career with a bang

  At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, reporting game results to the Tribune-Star after a win or a loss is not always a high priority.
  So when one of its athletes enjoys an outstanding season, like senior Kelsey Rosselli is doing for the Pomeroys’ softball team in 2013, media publicity doesn’t always follow.
  In fact, her efforts almost seem like a government secret.
  Rosselli’s name might sound familiar to longtime Terre Haute softball followers because she was a standout for North High School, from where she graduated in 2009.
  Since then, she’s helped The Woods finish runner-up in three straight U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national tournaments in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

• ISU baseball gets back into rhythm with victory

  Baseball is a rhythm game. With contests every day or five times a week in the case of many college programs, you have the chance to build on success or wallow in a slump.
  Mother Nature took that rhythm away from Indiana State’s team last week. After a 7-1 loss to Indiana on April 24, ISU was supposed to play a three-game series at Tennessee-Martin, but it was wiped out by rain.
  So the rhythm was disturbed, but perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing.
  ISU was in a five-game losing streak before its unintended vacation and the Sycamores made a move in the right direction Wednesday with a 7-0 win over DePauw at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a disappointing weekend. We went all the way down to Tennessee and didn’t get to play. We sat around in the hotel room. We came here and it was still raining. It was nice to get out and see some live pitching,” ISU center fielder Landon Curry said.

  The ISU women’s golf team is the team that has ended at this time, with the group recording a sixth-place finish at the MVC championships one week ago.
