BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana track and field concluded the Indiana Invitational on Saturday (January 18) at Gladstein Fieldhouse winning 11 events on the final day. The continued success gave the Hoosiers 22 event wins and several personal bests over the two-day weekend.
"We have been able to put together two weekends back-to-back of competitive competition for our team, which sets us up really well for the next meet on our schedule," head coach Ed Beathea said.
"I thought we had some really good performances with lots of personal bests this weekend, and some really great efforts from our team. I'm really pleased with where we are in the first two weeks of 2025."
Day two started with the conclusion of the heptathlon, where Garrett Messer scored a personal-best 5,174 points to win the event. He won five of the seven events: 60 meter, long jump, shot put, 60 meter hurdle, and pole vault.
On the track, John Colquitt (8.10) came out with the win in the 60 meter hurdles. It marks his third straight competition with a victory in the event.
The Hoosiers swept the top three sports in the men's 60 meter. Trelee Banks-Rose (6.75) set a PR to win the event while Tamer Saleh (6.76) finished second, and Novo Onovwerosuoke (6.94) also ran a personal best to finish third.
Katelyn Henselmeier ran a season best (55.64) in the 400 meter to top the event leaderboard.
The men's and women's team swept the top spots in the 800 while also setting new personal bests. Aidan Lord ran 1:50.31 and Amelia Dodds ran a 2:09.11 to win their respective races.
Makayla Hunter and Hannah Alexander continued their strong starts to the season. Hunter (16.31m/53-6.25) won the women's shot put while Alexander took second in the event after a win on Friday in the weight throw.
Deepak Laungani had a strong performance in the men's high jump. His 2.06m/6-9 performance was good for an indoor personal best.
