RANDY RICCI Reporter On Sept. 18, two congressional candidates from Indiana’s 8th district came and spoke in the Magna Carta room in Federal Hall.

The two candidates went back and forth on several topics including gay marriage, ISIS, the Affordable Care Act, minimum wage and education.

Indiana’s 8th congressional district is a congressional district in the state of Indiana.

Based in southwest and west central Indiana, the district is anchored in Evansville and also includes Jasper, Princeton, Terre Haute, Vincennes and Washington.

The room quickly filled up with students, teachers and citizens of Terre Haute ready to watch the candidates

speak and inform them of their political standpoints.

Andrew Horning was one of the candidates scheduled to speak at the event.

He is a libertarian from Freedom, Indiana.

Horning believes that the Republican and Democratic parties are not doing a well-enough job in Washington and they don’t have the power to fix all the problems they’ve created.

“You know the saying, ‘Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me?’” Horning said. “Well, the people who long ago brought us the Republican and Democratic Party have been fooling us ever since.”

The other candidate who was present was Tom Spangler, a Democrat from Jasper, Indiana.

This is his first time running for congress and he had many ideas to take with him if he were to win.

“I am my own man and have my own ideas,” Spangler said.

“I will represent the 8th district of Indiana to the best of my ability.”

The third candidate, Larry Bueshon, is the incumbent for the 8th district and declined the invitation to come speak at ISU. The two candidates sat in front of the audience and were asked a question and given two minutes to speak about their stance relating to the topic.

They went back and forth for an hour and disagreed on almost every question.

They stated their stance with every question and why they felt that way.

The politicians didn’t skip a beat when it was their turn to speak, showing a wide

knowledge of the topics at hand.

Many students stayed after to ask questions and talk to the politicians.

Colt Barker, a junior political science major, was very excited when he heard that potential congress members were coming to speak and he sat in the front row.

“It was awesome seeing the candidates come out for the students and the community,” Barker said.

“Mr. Horning even said this was one of the best turnouts and that he was happy to see all of us.”

The election for the 8th congressional district will take place in November and the candidates will be Larry Beushon, Andrew Horning and Tim Spangle.

The politicians at the event encouraged everyone attending the forum to get out and vote and to make a difference.

Forest grows to top 1,000 MAKYLA THOMPSON Reporter The Forest has a high number of students in the group this year, topping just over 1,000 students.

The Forest is a group of students who go to all the games here at Indiana State University and cheer in the stands wearing blue and white.

The group was started by Thomas Lynch, an Indiana State graduate who is now the graduate assistant of athletics and the athletic liaison for the Forest.

He created the Forest because he wanted more students from Indiana State to support their teams here on the campus.

“I was discouraged my freshman year to see the lack of interest in the home events and I wanted to make a change,” said Lynch. “I wanted to see students stop wearing other universities and s t a r t supporting the university they call home.”

Starting this group was not easy for him and there were some changes he had to face.

“I would say the biggest problem I had was getting enough support for the cause,” said Lynch.

“I had to give them a reason to buy into my ideas. I went to many different groups of people selling the Forest to them. I was talking to students, faculty and administrators trying to get everyone on board.”

Since then the Forest has been growing and improving.

For incoming freshmen, this is a good way to get involved in your school, get out of the dorm and have fun.

“With the way the Forest is set up is a small investment on a lifechanging opportunity,” Lynch said.

“For a one-time fee per school year, you get the opportunity to take part in such a rewarding opportunity. Athletic events are free to campus and as a Forest member you get to be front row at these events receiving all the amazing promotional items.”

The new Forest director is Matt

Masengale, a senior mathematics major.

“For this year our goal is to just continue to grow, continue to provide a fun atmosphere for students at the game and to support the game,” said Masengale.

Matt Masengale also used to play for Indiana State University.

“As an ex-football player for this school, it definitely has an impact on the game,” said Masengale.

“Like when you do really good on a play, and you hear no cheering it’s kind of demoralizing in a kind of way, but when you hear the crowd get fired up it kind of pumps you up inside.”

In order for sports to succeed not only do they need their teammates, but they need the students’ support.

Dasia Wilkerson is a criminology major, and also one of the Forest members. joined the forest because, at “ I my old high school, we had a spirit club just like the Forest,” Wilkerson said.

Wilkerson also went to one of the football games with the Forest.

“It was pretty good, they were very involved,” said Wilkerson.

“I would definitely recommend it to other freshmen.”

Lynch hopes that as years pass by the Forest will have more members so that the sports teams will get the support they need.

“I hope to see the Forest continue to grow the way it has been the last few years,” Lynch said.

“I hope to see more students buy into the ideas of the Forest and Sycamore Pride. Once we all become alumni and go wherever our lives take us, memories like the Forest will be the stories you will enjoy sharing when you talk about you time at Indiana State University.”

Student charged in connection with Yik Yak posting KRISTI ASHBY News Editor On Sept. 19, Indiana State University police made an arrest in connection with the social media posting on Yik Yak concerning a possible shooting on campus.

Rashon Ke’nise Marshall-Bowen, 19, an Indiana State sophomore from Indianapolis, has been booked into the Vigo County Jail.

She has been booked on a preliminary charge of harassment and a class-B misdemeanor.

Marshall-Bowen’s arrest stems from an investigation into Wednesday night’s post on Yik Yak that made a vague reference to a “school shooting” on Indiana Marshall-Bowen State University’s feed.

ISU Public Safety increased patrols and placed the campus on high alert following the threat. While ISU was not locked down and classes were not officially cancelled, some buildings were closed for short periods of time and some teachers did cancel classes or dismiss students early.

ISU Public Safety notified several area police departments, the Indiana State Police and the FBI of the threat. Terre Haute Police and Indiana State Police helped patrol the outskirts of campus Thursday.

Marshall-Bowen was released on her own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in Terre Haute City Court today at 8:30 a.m.

“No additional information about the case will be released until Monday,” said Joseph Newport, ISU chief of police.

Correction: An article in the Sept. 17, issue of the Indiana Statesman misstated where the band Wake is from and the band’s genre. Most of the band members are from North Terre Haute and the genre is indie/post-rock. Also, to clarify, the band prefers to be referred to as Wake, not W.A.K.E., and in Evansville, Wake played with a band called “From Indian Lakes.”

On-campus drug, alcohol use up this semester Steve Wininger Reporter

“More people are here, and the more people who are here, you are going to have more misbehavior,” said Student drug use is slightly up so far this year at Newport.

Cradler said, “I think students are more secretive about their drug use and they do not talk about it openly.”

“There are resources on campus for students who think they have a problem,” Chief Newport said.

“The government is sending mixed signals to students. Some states have legalized marijuana and there is also pending legislation in other states.

However, possession of marijuana in Indiana is illegal and if caught we take appropriate action,” Newport said.

While all possession charges are evaluated on an individual basis, many are referred to the office of student conduct for action.

There are some cases that can be referred to the Vigo County prosecutor for further action.

There have been incidents of dealing, and all dealing charges are automatically referred to the prosecutor.

“We don’t need a war on drugs, we don’t need an ‘us against them’ mentality. We need an ‘I’m on your side’ mentality,” Arrington said.

“We have to get back on track. Socially, we have gotten off track and looking the other way saying that’s not my concern, that’s their problem, that’s their personal business, that’s not my place, that’s not my job, especially, that’s not my job.”

#GamerGate

Zoe Quinn harassed, threatened by gamers

The ‘Quinnspiracy’ a glorified witch hunt So earlier this month the “#gamergate” scandal happened.

A man posted a 10,000-word rant on 4chan about his failed relationship with his ex-girlfriend. The entire post boiled down to him flipping between exaggerating truths and lying to make Columnist outright him seem like the hapless victim of a man-eating manipulator who cheated on him. At one point he stated that his ex slept with someone in the gaming industry to get ahead as a developer. Now it is important to realize that he did not post anyone’s names; both he and his ex-girlfriend are anonymous in his diatribe, which is essentially revenge-porn.

The people of 4chan — and the other forums he posted the rant on — decided that it was their duty to find out who this woman was in real life, because apparently the lady’s name was the most important part of the story.

The trolls discovered the supposed succubus’ name, Zoe Quinn, and proceeded to bombard her with insults and death threats, calling her friends and family and harassing them. They spread nude photos of her and made mock-documentaries about how she was a slut who whored her way to the top in the gaming industry, never mind that she’s an independent developer who’s only made one game about suicide prevention of all things.

Jake Porter

One thing led to another and the “Quinnspiracy” was born. Apparently this brand new developer with one game under her belt is somehow controlling the $15 billion industry by sleeping her way to the top, the ultimate proof being that her point-and-click adventure game about clinical depression and suicide awareness somehow got decent reviews.

In case I’m being too subtle, the 4chan post, videos and rumors are based on complete falsehoods; nothing said about Zoe Quinn has been remotely true.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop people from taking them as truth. The Internet can’t lie, right? The whole thing became national news.

Several websites have already talked about how the “#gamergate” scandal is proof of sexism, journalistic corruption, misogyny, isolationist gaming communities and so on. Zoe Quinn herself even wrote an article for Cracked. com about her experience as the most hated person on the Internet. What intrigues me instead is the problem that always arises: how do we stop this from happening?

Unfortunately, there isn’t any sure-fire way to prevent people from trolling or posting terrible things short of banning the Internet outright. We don’t live in China; we still have control over our Internet, for now.

As much as this whole scandal hurts me at my core, I believe that people are inherently good and I can’t in good conscience support censoring the ‘Quinnspiracy’ Continued on PAGE 5

Nearly every day someone attempts to inform me that misogyny is no longer a problem — we’ve evolved past that.

However, evidence to the contrary appears on a constantly increasing rate.

When someone leaves their significant other, Photo the last thing they ought Editor to expect is worldwide harassment, but that’s what Zoe Quinn received after the termination of her relationship. Her ex-boyfriend wrote a blog post calling Quinn out about her apparent infidelity in their relationship, claiming she slept with “a writer for Kotaku, a gaming news site,” according to The Guardian.

Despite the lack of hard evidence, hackers and trolls online began attacking Quinn both in the cyber world as well as real life. She began receiving death and rape threats; she was told to commit suicide. They went so far as to distribute nude photos of her online — a rather popular theme among hackers these days — and release her address to the public. They even emailed them to her supporters in an effort to ostracize her from the people who were backing her personally as well as financially.

Many people are claiming that Quinn deserved the “punishment” she was given by the masses; that she was below the standards for society. So, for a small bit of background: Quinn, a video

Kira Clouse

game designer, created a game titled “Depression Quest” which addresses depression and the effects it has on people. On the day her game was to be released, Robin Williams passed away from suicide, a death brought on by depression. Rather than attempt to profit from the unfortunate circumstances, Quinn opted to release her game for free. She believed it would be crass and inappropriate to benefit from the hardship of others, an idea that does not seem to be shared amongst her attackers.

The movement to hack women in the gaming world has moved beyond Quinn; other females have had their social media accounts hacked. Threats have been abounding, particularly on 4chan where the initial attacks began.

Gamers and hackers taking part in this current disgrace have named the movement “#GamerGate.”

Breaking down what happened to her shows that we have little prevention against stopping this kind of cyber persecution. The nude pictures of her cannot be regulated very easily; even in Indiana, revenge porn laws are largely nonexistent. The hacking of her social media accounts is something that happens so often that we barely even think about legal action in those cases.

The complete lack of regard for these women’s privacy very obviously displays the patriarchal power that so few hold over so many. Not even from a feminist standpoint, but a humanist one, they endangered this woman’s life. They Harassment Continued on PAGE 5

Teachers terminate troublesome technology We are in an age of technology where everyone has a computer in their pocket that can do more than the rooms of computers from the ‘80s. We all rely on our phones to get us where we need to go. I know I can’t get anything done without my tablet, Columnist phone and laptop on a daily basis. Even the university requires students to have laptops to do classwork on.

There are teachers around campus who do not allow the use of these electronic devices in their classes, though.

These teachers make it a rule that the computers, phones, tablets, e-readers and all other devices be put away before class and even sometimes before you walk in the door. This creates a world of problems for someone like me due to

T.C. Wampler

how connected I am.

My phone tells me when and what I have to do every hour of the day. While I am in class I like to take notes on my tablet or phone because I can access all my notes wherever and whenever I need them.

But as soon as teachers take away my technology, it impacts the way that I learn and the way I want to get things done.

I understand that it is hard for teachers to keep students off of social media while in class. Students who can’t avoid the temptation can often fail their classes and be forced to retake them.

Teachers are supposed to be doing this for the benefit of their students.

These teachers could, however, be causing more harm than good.

They assume that everyone with a laptop or tablet is off in fairytale land instead of paying attention. I understand that these teachers have dealt with many more students than I have.

‘Quinnspiracy’ Continued from PAGE 4

Internet. I don’t want to side with lobbyists pushing against net neutrality.

So what is the solution? While websites like Cracked, Twitter and an untold number of blogs talked about the scandal or jumped on either the “burn-the-witch” or “save-the-Quinn” bandwagons, few gaming websites acknowledged that this scandal even happened.

The two most well-known gaming newsfeed sites, IGN and Kotaku, address the scandal with a total of one article each. IGN decided clearly the trolls of 4chan had all the facts straight and used the smear campaign against Quinn as a jump-off to talk about how gamer reviewers are all hacks who pick favorites with developers and use their reviews to keep certain people afloat or get ahead.

Kotaku wrote an actual article about the scandal and tried to put a positive spin on it, saying that at least people are showing they take pride in being a gamer and want to try and purge it of corruption — misguided though they may be.

My favorite article was a satirical one found on the Escapist, which talks at length about Gamergate Ants — an actual group of female worker ants called so for decades due to a Latin word — and also comments on the sexism in the gaming community. And that’s it. Three articles in the whole of the major gaming news outlets are all gamers had to say about the issue — disregarding the fringe groups on forums and blogs.

The only reason I even know about the scandal is

They probably allowed students to use technology and took it away when they abused it.

I try to get e-textbooks whenever I can because books are expensive and heavy.

It’s easier to carry a laptop or tablet with your entire five courses of books on your back, rather than 100 pounds of books. It is easier to tag things in e-texts and search for things than in it is in a physical copy. Yes, this is a convenience factor but is still a feature that makes technology more worthwhile.

The teachers who do not include the use of technology in the classroom in my opinion are missing out on great opportunities.

They do not see that the uses of technology can reach across the learning barrier for some people and offer so much more. By staying connected students have no reason to cry out and say they did not know what is going on.

Indiana State University offers so many options for people to learn outside

because I came across Quinn’s Cracked article, which was posted after the proverbial storm had passed.

The entire scandal was about a game developer and the gaming industry, and the only news outlets talking about it constantly were people who were in no way invested in either. You want to know how to stop these kinds of things from happening? Look to the gaming community.

You see, we can’t stop people from being trolls who want to ruin life for others and we can’t stop people from being uninformed, what we can do is stop the problem from growing beyond a few psychos.

If every news outlet and website ignored the posts about Zoe Quinn, or at least did some fact-checking before posting anything, the worst that would have come from this is the harassment calls Quinn herself got.

The people who cause this kind of uproar and post these kinds of lies are not complicated. They either want the attention to feel like they’ve done something important or they want to watch the chaos unfurl.

Deep down, we like having terrible things to talk about. The trolls and harassers understand this and feed on it. I know, I’ve tried being a troll before; messing with people on the Internet or while playing multiplayer on “Call of Duty” or something is hilarious. I stopped because I decided it wasn’t worth it.

You want to stop this? Ignore it; eventually trolls will realize people aren’t falling for it and will move on.

Maybe they’ll even find something productive to do, like writing opinion columns.

of the classroom. It would be worth it if the classroom teachers used the same programs.

Everyone learns at their own pace and we all learn differently. Some people like to use their computers and others need to have paper.

I do think that if the university is going to have a laptop policy then teachers should be more open to the idea of having technology in the classroom.

The computer policies are there to help the students out, but the students who misuse their technology are the ones who are missing out, no one else.

The classroom is the teacher’s domain and it is the one place they get to control.

But it is not fair to chastise students who use their technology for good.

“With great power comes great responsibility,” as Uncle Ben told Peter Parker in “Spiderman.”

Students should be allowed to use technology as they need it and when it could be most helpful to them.

Harassment Continued from PAGE 4

psychologically attacked her by calling her father and screaming to him about his daughter’s sexual life — in much more vulgar terms.

Considering everything that women have stacked against them, particularly women of color, it’s strange to think that we no longer even have our privacy. Our lives are reduced to objectification of pictures we never intended to share with the public.

We become objects of harassment and belittlement.

When something like this happens, all of the rights that we women have worked towards for hundreds of years are harshly stripped away.

The sad fact is, in the society we currently live in, “#GamerGate” was almost inevitable.

One man’s blog post about his own personal opinions and hatred forced a woman to have to leave her home for protection against people she doesn’t even know. Zoe Quinn is going to become another unfortunate statistic of women who get harassed by unknown men daily.

Quinn fought back against the groups, tracking them online to see what they planned to do to her; she even took a screenshot of their comments to show their hatred for women.

Yet despite her efforts, people claimed she “cherrypicked” the chatroom screenshots she shared. What all of this shows us is that we’re not past misogyny.

Not even a little bit.

Heavy burdens hang upon college students’ shoulders Tyler Sanders Reporter Backpack awareness was spread by the Student Occupational Therapy Association to make students understand the lasting effects of having a backpack that’s too heavy.

The event was held on Sept. 17, and was open to all.

This is the first time Indiana State University has had this awareness event on campus.

Students were asked to weigh their backpacks and see if theirs was too heavy. The heaviest bag was at the event 21 pounds.

A backpack should only weigh 10 percent of a person’s body weight. Most students go over this weight limit.

SOTA was very proud of the turnout since it was the first time they had the event.

The point of this event was to show people ways to make their backpack have less strain on their back by how much their backpack should weigh and how to properly wear their backpack.

Kierstin Hamlin, the senior vice president of SOTA

and a graduate student at Indiana State, wanted to have information. the event to make students aware of the effects of heavy backpacks and how to prevent them.

“The turnout was wonderful for this event,” Hamlin said. “I want to make this an event that happens every year.”

Students who attended the event were surprised by how much their bags did weigh and how this could affect them.

Kalee Bookwalter, a freshman social work major, thought the event was informational.

“I think it would be helpful to have this event every year,” Bookwalter said. “There are a lot of students who carry to much in their backpack. I do think that the event should make sure more people now about their project.”

SOTA has not decided to have the event for sure again next year.

The 12th annual Indiana State University Library Extravaganza was held on Thursday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. The Library Extravaganza event was created so students can learn about the resources and services that the library has to provide.

The Library Extravaganza had free pizza, soda, popcorn, music, prizes and other free goodies.

Dean of library services Robin Crumrin calls the Library Extravaganza “a campus event that is hosted by the library that explain[s] what the library does and introduce[s] students in a different fun way to all the activities and resources that they have available here.”

Organizations such as the Center for Community Engagement, the Math and Writing Center, Commuter Services and Speaker

When they get 10 stamps then they can put that card in a drawing box and cards will be drawn every 30 minutes,” Grubb said.

“The Library Extravaganza brings many people to the library who otherwise wouldn’t be there.

It gets people here who otherwise wouldn’t be here and then they find out some useful information while they’re here,” Grubb said.

Many students might have come for the free pizza originally but found out useful information about the library services and other organizations on campus.

Students such as Erial Pena, a freshman nursing major, learned about the services the library offers.

“There are things that I didn’t know we had like counseling for things like text anxiety and homesickness,” Pena said.

“The Library Extravaganza comes once a year and it’s a big party.” Grubb said.

Sycamore volleyball trounced in conference openers Game One There was no lack of drama in the Indiana State volleyball Missouri Valley Conference season opener as it took Missouri State to five sets before falling, 2-3. The Sycamores move to 8-4 overall on the season and 0-1 in the MVC. The match marked the third-straight meeting between the schools that has gone to a decisive fifth set. The Sycamores and Bears went down to the wire in both contests in 2013. As a team, ISU hit just .211 and were out dug and out blocked.

Sophomore outside hitter Bree Spangler led with a season-high 18 kills while senior middle blocker Kyla Thomas added 11 kills as she hit .500 in the match while also notching two blocks. Freshman libero Stephanie Bindernagel recorded a match-high 22 digs and three services aces in the loss.

The Sycamores took set one, 2521, backed by one of its best single set performances of the season. ISU hit .444 in the opening frame, accompanied by Thomas’ four kills and Bindernagel’s seven digs.

A Spangler tip gave ISU a 11-8 lead to open the match, forcing an MSU timeout.

MSU tied it up 12-12 on a service ace out of the timeout and kept the match close. However, back-to-back service aces from Nord gave ISU a 2118 advantage. ISU needed a timeout as MSU scored two points on set point but ISU sealed the deal with a Thomas kill.

At set point, 24-19, ISU needed a timeout to quiet the MSU attack before Spangler sent one to the floor for the victory.

Indiana State fell behind 3-10 in set two before a back row attack by MSU cut the run.

Kills from Nord, Spangler and Thomas coupled with a pair of attack errors by the Bears sparked an ISU run of its own and cutting the lead to 10-12. ISU would get within two on a Wishlow kill, but MSU would close the set on another 10-3 run, tying it up at 1-1 going into the break.

The two teams played a tight third set as it came down the final six points. Tied

at 19-19, the Bears scored six straight points to close the third with a 25-19 win.

Set four started the same way as set three with a Bears’ 10-3 run. ISU chipped away on a service run by Bindernagel who got help from Willis and Wishlow along with two service aces to cut the deficit to 9-11.

MSU kept the Sycamores at bay before an attack error brought the match to an 18-18 tie. A pair of Willis kills helped ISU to set point before Spangler slammed it home to force the decisive set five.

But it was all Missouri State in the final set, blowing by ISU 15-4. The Sycamores hit just .111 with just three kills in the set.

Game Two The preseason Missouri Valley Conference favorites wasted little time Saturday evening as it swept Indiana State in front of 3,248 fans at Koch Arena.

Indiana State dropped to 8-5 overall on the season and 0-2 in MVC action as it was swept for the first time in 2014.

“Obviously, tonight did not go as we had planned and worked on,” ISU head coach Traci Dahl-Skinner said.

“The past two matches have given us a lot to work on as we continue moving forward in conference play.”

Junior middle blocker Cassandra Willis led ISU with a .286 hitting percentage and five blocks on the evening. Sophomore outside hitters Bree Spangler posted 11 kills and Melody Burdette added four.

Freshman setter Rachel Griffin earned her first career start, recording 26 assists.

Griffin combined with freshman libero Stephanie Bindernagel with seven digs each. As a team, ISU posted its lowest hitting percentage of the season with a .100 clip in the three set match.

In set one, the Shockers used a pair of hitting errors by the Sycamores to take an early 9-4 lead. WSU used another run, to take a 15-9 lead halfway through the set on kills by Ashly Driskill, Abbie Lehman and Kristin Byers. The Shockers continued to dominate the set as ISU

trailed 13-20 before going on a run of its own.

Three attack errors and kills from Thomas couldn’t help ISU climb out of a hole as it fell 19-25 in set one. The Sycamores hit just .188 in the opening frame and committed three service aces.

Set two went all the Shockers way, as it hit .448 compared to the Sycamores’ .138 hitting percentage. Early kills by Nalls and Spangler kept the set in reach but a service ace from Katie Reilly forced Coach Dahl-Skinner to call a timeout to regroup her team.

The Shockers, however, used short runs to capitalize on Indiana State. An 8-3 run broke set two open Wichita State posted a 25-16 victory.

It was all Shockers in set three, as they held ISU to a .000 hitting percentage in the final set.

Facing match point, the ISU didn’t make it easy for the Shockers to close out it out.

Trailing 15-24, back-to-back kills

by Burdette along with errors forced a Wichita State timeout. But attacking errors plagued the Sycamores yet again as it sealed the match for WSU. ISU returns home for the first time in almost a month when it hosts Evansville on Friday and Southern Illinois on Saturday. Tip off for both matches is set for 8 p.m.

John Mascari leads the pack at Indiana Intercollegiate Indiana State junior John Mascari dominated the field in the final 1,000 meters to capture his third Indiana Intercollegiate individual championship Friday while the Sycamore men finished third as a team in the Big School division.

Senior Nicole Lucas led the Indiana State women with her best finish at the Indiana Intercollegiate despite running in a borrowed pair of shoes. Lucas, who left her spikes back in Terre Haute, put on the borrowed shoes and still placed 11th as she ran the three-mile course in 17:52.9.

Mascari covered the 8,000-meter course in 24:32.8 as he won by 13 seconds over Purdue’s Matt McClintock who finished in 24:45.2.

Both are juniors and both will be back to battle again when the intercollegiate come to Terre Haute in 2015.

Indiana senior Evan Esselink was third in 24:50.5.

“It was good to see John go out there and take command of that race,” John McNichols, Indiana State men’s crosscountry coach, said. “We had just a week to recover and prepare for this meet which is rather unusual. I would rather the Illinois State meet was earlier but we do have two weeks to prepare for Notre Dame.”

The Hoosiers won their third straight men’s team title with 29 points as their top five runners all finished in the top 11.

IUPUI finished in second with 56 points while Indiana State was third with 64 points, Purdue fourth with 73 and Evansville fifth with 154 points.

Sycamore Taylor Head also finished in the top 10 as the junior placed seventh in 25:20.8.

Senior Tristan Selby had another good run and was 13th in 25:48.0 while freshman Levin Taylor placed 19th in 26:04.1 and sophomore David Timlin rounded out the scoring in 26th with a time of 26:27.6.

Four others also competed in the men’s main event for Indiana State as sophomore Andrew Kump was 30th, sophomore Daniel Swem 34th, freshman Austin Stewart 35th and freshman Logan Hambrock 36th.

The Hoosiers also won their sixthstraight women’s team title with 19 points as they placed all seven of their runners in the top 10. Purdue finished second with 43 points while IUPUI was third with 105, Indiana State fourth with 117, Ball State fifth with 137 and Evansville sixth with 143.

“It was a rather disappointing day for us,” John Gartland, Indiana State women’s cross-country coach said.

“We had hoped to finish closer to the two Big Ten teams. The highlight today was Nicole who, despite losing her spiked shoes, composed herself and ran very well.”

Indiana took the top two individual spots led by sophomore Amanda Behnke who completed the threemile course in 17:09.9 while freshman Jill Whitman was second in 17:30.3.

Purdue junior Katie Hoevet was third in 17:33.8.

Freshman Taylor Austin was the second Sycamore runner to finish as she placed 24th in 18:34.0. Sophomore

Sydney Dickerson was 31st in 18:52.4 while freshman Danielle Muse came in 34th with a time of 19:09.9 and freshman Jessi Conley 35th in 19:11.3.

Also competing in the women’s main event for Indiana State was sophomore Natalie Nolting who finished 43rd in 19:46.4, freshman Victoria Collins 45th in 19:53.6, senior Amy Hicks 46th in

19:57.9 and freshman Aleksey Green 47th in 20:03.1.

Senior Bryan Horsman ran in the men’s open 8K race and finished 31st.

Freshman Emily Hamon ran in the women’s open three-mile and finished 43rd in 20:24.0.
