TRACK & FIELD FACILITIES
T
he Panther track and field team competes both indoors and outdoors in two of the finest facilities in the Midwest.
O’Brien Field, a 10,000 seat venue, has a new state-of-the-art Panther blue full pour polyurethane all-weather track. Besides the nine lane track, the new surface also includes two long jump and triple jump runways, two pole vault pits, and a high jump area. The stadium is the site of the annual Illinois High School Association Girls and Boys State Track Championships. Over 4000 competitors and 20,000 spectators come to EIU each May for these state meets. The girls championship has been held at EIU every year since its inception in 1973. The boys meet has been a fixture at O’Brien Stadium since 1974. Adjacent to the stadium is 600 seat Lantz Fieldhouse which houses the indoor track facility. In January, 2001 a new Mondo X track surface was installed in alternating Blue and Gray lanes. A new Daktronics message and scoreboard was added to record times, distances and team scores. The Panthers have hosted the Ohio Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. The OVC outdoor meet was held at the stadium in 1997.

DISTANCE RUNNING COURSES F
ew other colleges in the country have so many distance running training options as well as a home cross country course right on campus so readily accessible for training and competition. This represents a huge advantage for the Panther runners. POND PAVILION ... where the teams meet each day during the crosscountry season. FOX RIDGE STATE PARK ... located just six miles south of EIU, it is a great place to run and has 10+ miles of trails. During the hot months, the cool, wooded trails of Fox Ridge are where Panther runners go to beat the heat. THE RAIL TRAIL ... is a favorite training site for EIU distance runners. Flat, measured and soft, the trail extends from Charleston to Mattoon. Panther runners primarily use the rail trail for long runs and tempo runs. CHARLESTON AREA ... the country roads surrounding Charleston are excellent for distance training. The area surrounding Charleston is surprisingly hilly and training on the quiet country roads makes for one of the best running environments in Illinois. In fact, the City of Charleston has erected signs to warn motorists to be on the look-out for EIU distance runners. THE PANTHER TRAIL ... the Panthers’ home cross-country course, located on campus just south of the various EIU athlete facilities, is an excellent place to train. The Panther Trail has been the host course of the numerous Ohio Valley Conference championships, as well as the annual EIU Invitational each fall. The course has both a grass and a stone-chip path.

KANDACE ARNOLD NAMED OVC FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR BRENTWOOD, Tenn. -- Eastern Illinois women’s track and field standout Kandace Arnold was been selected as the Ohio Valley Conference Female Athlete of the Year for 2009-10, becoming the second Panther female athlete to win the award. Arnold was named the Female Athlete of the Championship at both the Indoor and Outdoor OVC Championships this season, helping EIU win both titles. She joins Erica Gerth (volleyball, 2004-05) as Panthers to win the OVC Female Athlete of the Year award since EIU joined the league in 1996-97. Arnold had a dominant year as a field athlete, re-writing the Eastern Illinois record books and winning OVC Championships. The senior dominated both the OVC Indoor & Outdoor Championships in 2010, being named “Athlete of the Championship” for both events this year. At the Indoor Championship she won the shot put and weight throw and at the Outdoor Championship she took home titles in shot put and discus. Those performances were instrumental in Eastern Illinois winning the OVC Championship at both events. At the OVC Outdoor Championship she set a new league record in the shot put with a throw of 51 feet, 7.75 inches. Most recently she participated in the NCAA West Regional in both the shot put and discus, qualifying for the NCAA Championship in the shot put, becoming the first EIU woman to accomplish that feat. Overall in her outstanding career, she won 11 OVC Event Championships. Arnold holds the Eastern Illinois all-time records for indoor shot put and weight throw and outdoor shot put, discus and hammer.

John Craft, former USA record holder in the triple jump, placed fifth at the 1972 Olympics.

37-TIME OVC INDOOR & OUTDOOR TRACK/CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONS

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE Entering its 63rd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950’s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first nontraditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The conference quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92) and Wayne State (95-84) in the 1956 tournament. Fifteen years later, former OVC member Western Kentucky became the first and only conference team to reach the Final Four. The Hilltoppers defeated Jacksonville, Kentucky and
Ohio State before losing to Villanova in double overtime. WKU went on to finish in third place after beating Kansas 77-75 in the consolation game. Track and field has also been around since the early days of the OVC. Men’s outdoor track was first introduced in 1949 while men’s indoor became an OVC Championship sport in 1976. Women’s outdoor track joined in 1979 while indoor track was added in 1985. Since joining the OVC, EIU has won 21 men’s combined track titles with 14 athletes selected as the athlete of the year. On the women’s side EIU swept the 2007 championships for their first teams titles while repeating as champions in 2009. Three female athletes have been honored as the OVC athlete of the year. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Over the years the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. In 2009 the league added its newest member Southern Illinois University Edwardsville which will begin full NCAA Division I competition in 2011-12. Other current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

EASTERN ILLINOIS RETIRES JERSEY IN HONOR OF JOHN CRAFT Eastern Illinois athletics honored one of its all time great track and field athletes on January 22, 2011 as they retired a jersey in honor of former Olympic triple jumper John Craft. The annual Mega Meet will also be renamed in honor of Craft starting with 2012 running of the event. Craft becomes the seventh former Eastern Illinois athlete to have their jersey retired. He was a triple jumper at EIU from 1965-69 and still holds the school mark for the outdoor triple jump at 53’9”. As a senior in 1969, Craft won three of four National Championships as he won the NAIA, NCAA College Division and AAU titles while placing third in the NCAA University Division Championships to become EIU’s first University Division All-American. Craft would go on to win five AAU outdoor triple jump championships (1969, 1971-74) and four indoor AAU triple jump championships (1971-74) as he ranked among the world’s elite athletes. In 1972 he set both the indoor and outdoor American triple jump records. His jump of 56’2” at the USA Olympic Trials earned him a spot at the 1972 Munich Olympics with his record setting mark. He set the indoor mark of 55’5” winning the first annual USA-Soviet Union Dual Meet. Craft would compete as a member of the US Olympic Team at the 1972 Munich Games placing fifth in the triple jump with a distance of 55’2.75”. He was inducted into the NAIA Helms Hall of Fame in 1974 and the USTFCCCA Division II Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2003. In 1982 Craft was a charter member of the EIU Athletic Hall of Fame. Following his competitive career Craft worked as long time coach at Eastern Illinois serving as the women’s track and field coach until 2002.
