The Hoosiers saw several podium finishes, including over 20 personal bests, two school records, a Fall Creek Pavilion facility record, and a new Big Ten individual champion.
"I was pleased with our performance in the last day of the championship," said head coach Ed Beathea. "Veronica [Hargrave] winning the 600m was exciting to watch. Trelee [Banks Rose] breaking the school record again and qualifying for the national championship reflected his hard work. We missed out on a couple opportunities to score points, but I felt our teams got better this weekend."
