Story by Hannah Jorich

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Illinois State men's and women's track and field teams battled, but came up short in a tight race against Indiana State at the Terre Haute Double Dual. Indiana State won the 13th Coughlan/Malloy Cup 156.5-145.5 over the Redbirds. However, ISU dominated the track winning 12 out of the 16 events.

Derrius Rodgers and D'Jenne Egharevba had standout performances as they both won back-to-back events. In the men's 60-meter dash, Rodgers came out strong winning the preliminary round at a time of 6.74, which beat the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Fieldhouse record. In the 60-meter finals, he tallied his first win of the night with a time of 6.80. He went on winning the men's 200-meter dash with a time of 21.96, which is leading the Missouri Valley Conference.

Egharevba had similar success as she won the women's 60-meter dash at a time of 7.54, which is tied for second in the Valley and is ranked sixth on ISU's all-time best list. She went on winning the women's 200-meter dash at a time of 24.51, and her time is leading the MVC.

"The highlight of today would have to be our multiple double wins," Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Jeff Bovee said. "Derrius (Rodgers) and D'Jenne (Egharevba) had a phenomenal day, and I am really pleased how they came out of the break. Not only did they have double wins today, but also they have won back-to-back meets. They won their events at the Early Bird back in December (Dec. 9). I am also really pleased with Amanda McClain who had triple wins today. She always comes out strong and performs really well in her events."

Amanda McClain had a tremendous day as she won the women's 400-meter dash, long jump and the 4x400-meter relay. In the 400 meter, she won with a time at 56.04, which is leading the Missouri Valley. Ashleigh Wilson followed pursuit in second at a time of 56.16. In the long jump, McClain had one of her best series winning the event with a leap at 5.91m (19-04.75).

In the women's 4x400-meter relay, the foursome of Ally Christiani, Rayanne Wright, McClain and Wilson won with a time of 3:50.13 in a tight foot race against Indiana State. The squad's time is leading the Missouri Valley Conference.

Demetria Anderson had a stellar performance in the women's 60-meter hurdles, as she won the event with a time at 8.64, which broke the fieldhouse record. Her time is ranked third in the Valley.

Other notable performances came from Connor Ehnle. Ehnle posted a strong effort in the men's mile run as he inched his way up to the top. He started in the middle of the pack and within the last 30 meters, he was neck-and-neck with Indiana State's Blake Kramer. Ehnle came out on top winning with a photo-finish time of 4:19.31. Kramer finished second with a time at 4:19.32.

"I was incredibly please with Connor Ehnle's performances today," Bovee said. "This was his first collegiate win and I am really proud of him."

The Redbirds cleaned up in the men's 800-meter run as Kyle Hatton placed first with a time of 1:55.57, followed by Tye Sutherland (1:55.74) in second, David Curnock (1:57.41) in third and Michael Cook (1:57.41) in fourth.

In the 3,000-meter run, Tyler Morse and Kyle Mattes led the way, as Morse captured first place at a time of 8:25.06, while Mattes followed in second at a time of 8:26.51. Morse's time is leading the Missouri Valley Conference and is ranked 14th nationally. Mattes reigns second in the Valley and 17th in the nation.

Ben Montgomery had a stellar day as he won the men's 400-meter dash at a time of 48.95, which is leading the Valley. He also helped the Redbirds win the men's 4x400-meter relay.

Justin Agustin, Hatton, Jalen Lewis and Montgomery won the men's 4x400-meter relay at a time of 3:20.12.

In the field, Anthony McRoberts placed second in the men's high jump clearing a mark at 2.06m (06-09.00), followed by Derek Wegman (06-09.00) in third.

McRoberts also finished second in the long jump with a leap at 6.83m (22-05.00).  Travon Diggins followed in third with a mark at 6.72m (22-00.75)

In the weight throw, Zachary Gregory captured his personal-best mark at 15.33m (50-03.50), and placed third overall.

On the women's side, Tessa Holland finished second in the women's high jump with a mark at 1.75m (05-04.25).

Charde Golliday had a strong effort in the women's long jump, as she finished third with a mark at 5.77m (18-11.25).

From today's meet, Illinois State added seven conference leaders to the Missouri Valley performance list. The Redbirds have a total of nine conference leaders in the Missouri Valley performance list.
