Metro Roundup: ISU cross country’s Escalera takes first in Evansville Mid-America Opener

The Tribune-Star

Evansville — Indiana State sophomore Albaro Escalera took the lead midway through the men’s 6K race and dominated the final 2,000 meters to take first place and lead the Sycamore men to victory at the Evansville Mid-America Opener cross country meet Saturday morning.

“Al made a really strong move between the 2K and 4K marks,” coach John McNichols said. “He looked very impressive and won by almost 10 seconds. This was a very good start for Al and it is a result of the hard training that he has been doing.”

The Sycamores took the team title with 22 points followed by Louisville with 39, Evansville with 71, and Kentucky Wesleyan with 115.

Escalera completed the 6K course in 17:23.34 and led five Sycamores into the top 10. Michael Disher finished third overall in 17:42.92 with Dustin Betz fourth in 17:45.97, Andrew Lepkowski sixth in 17:54.06 and Jeremiah Vaughan eighth in 17:55.74. Craig Padgett came through with a 12th-place finish in 18:05.09 while Brandon Query was 13th in 18:21.20.

“This was a very good early season race for us,” McNichols said. “I believe it is an early indicator of just what this team can be as the season progresses. We will see the rest of the team at the Sycamore Pride next Friday and then get ready for a very competitive Indiana Intercollegiates the week after at Purdue.”

Indiana State’s women finished third with 52 points but were without the services of Allison Malone, who was held out of the race due to a sore knee. The Sycamores also lost Kelsie Slater midway through the race after she stepped in a hole and twisted an ankle.

“We didn’t get done here what we wanted to,” coach John Gartland said. “The five that finished did run very well and I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks to see the others run at the Sycamore Pride and at the Indiana Intercollegiates.”

Kacie Klem led the Sycamore effort as she finished the 4K race in second with a time of 14:33.74. Kylee Thacker also finished in the top 10, coming in ninth with a time of 15:46.64. Ashley Name was 12th in 15:50.94, Bethany Scruton 13th in 15:42.67 and Andrea Prusz was 16th in 16:06.18.

The Sycamores will host the Sycamore Pride at 3:30 p.m. Friday at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course.

Indiana State dominated the next two sets to earn the victory. The Sycamores took control early in the second set and cruised to a 25-13 win but struggled a big in the third set before regaining control late and posting a 25-19 victory.
