Demolition of Statesman Towers threatens habitat of feathered friends

ELECTION/2
For over ten years, a peregrine falcon named Helga has made the Statesman Towers her home; but with the demolition date set for the towers in the summer of 2012, many students and faculty wonder what will become of her. The Statesman Towers are being issued for demolition due to their old age. The College of Business and Education were originally built to be dorms during the Vietnam era. Because of excessive maintenance, the buildings are set to be destroyed this coming summer. The peregrine falcon was at one time endangered and is now listed as a threatened species, Ruth Rukes, Administrative Assistant

in the Dean’s Office of the College of Business said. “The question is, what will happen to the birds that nest here when the buildings are taken down?” Rukes recalled walking the campus two years ago when she heard strange noises. It sounded like a bunch of little kids, Rukes said. Rukes soon realized, however, a falcon perched in a tree. According to the band on her leg, Helga hatched in Minnesota. She can be spotted atop the Statesman Towers, which are home to the College of Business and the College of Education. With the demolition of College of Education and Business in plan, Helga may decide to move her nesting location as well. Rukes says that when she sees Helga around campus, she is usually coupled with her mate, and she believes that the male is the smaller of the two. Although the Statesman Towers will no longer remain on campus in the coming year, Rukes said she

Bennett wins by landslide
Elizabeth Dawes Reporter
Duke Bennett’s campaign staff was all smiles when the Terre Haute mayor won a second term Tuesday night. “I told people I was going to have a report card this November, and my report was an A,” Bennett said. With all precincts reporting, Bennett had received 69 percent of the vote compared to Democrat Fred Nation’s 31 percent. Bennett is the first republican mayor to win re-election in more than 30 years. “I am very excited about Terre Haute,” Bennett said. His supporters and campaign staff worked hard on this campaign and were very optimistic about the whole campaign. Campaign manager, Anita Woudenberg, was especially optimistic. “This was all a team effort and was all very positive … we stayed consistent” Woudenberg said. “We positioned ourselves great,” Bennett said. The mayor’s main goal in his campaign was to send a positive message and to treat people well in light of finan-
cial troubles since the recession of 2008. “Everyone feels the pain financially,” Bennett said. Other goals the re-elected mayor wants to accomplish in the near future are figuring out how best to use recently purchased property for the Terre Haute Police Department, getting a tenet for the vacant Terre Haute Family Y, fighting for an underpass on 19th Street and Margaret Avenue, battling crime and gaining significant progress on the sewage system, he said. His other main focus is to treat people well. Engagement between Terre Haute and ISU is also a focus. He wants students to venture outside of the confines of the university. “Push downtown residential housing with President Daniel J. Bradley is something I want to accomplish,” he said. Bennett’s supporters closed out the night in front of all his supporters chanting, “Duke, Duke, Duke!” “The next four years will be even better than the last four years,” Bennett said.

Nation supporters shocked by huge win Nick Hedrick News editor
Fred Nation walked into his campaign headquarters at Fifth Street and Wabash Avenue Tuesday night to cheers and handshakes from his supporters. Nation, the Democratic candidate for Terre Haute mayor, lost the race to incumbent Republican Duke Bennett by a margin of 38 percent. “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a humbling night,” Nation said after conceding a “very convincing” race to Bennett. Nation spent the hours before the polls closed meeting voters in the Collett Park neighborhood where he lives and returned home to watch the results. Campaign volunteers were glued to local newscasts, as well. Bennett surged ahead of Nation within 15 minutes of the 6 p.m. poll closing. Jared Robinson, a junior political science major who interned and then volunteered for Nation’s campaign, said he was disappointed with the results and shocked by Bennett’s victory margin. “We didn’t get our base [of Democratic voters],” Robinson said outside the headquarters before Nation arrived. “And you can’t win an election without getting your base.” Volunteers called registered Democrats and encouraged them to head to the polls if they had not yet voted.
As more precincts reported results and the margin grew wider, they exchanged disappointed glances. Volunteer Bionca Gambill said the numbers were disappointing and called on Bennett to put new ideas in motion. She said many of his first term’s accomplishments were achieved through frameworks set up by previous administrations. “It’s time for him to step up to the plate,” she said. In his concession remarks, Nation called on Democrats to work in good spirits with Republicans going forward. “Let’s have no rancor,” Nation said. “Let’s have no second thoughts.” He said he was also surprised by the margin of final results, but he acknowledged the challenges of running against an incumbent. “This was an uphill from the beginning,” he said. Nation, a lifelong Terre Haute resident who serves as an executive vice president at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, said he would retire on New Year’s Eve but remain active in the community. He previously worked as an aide for former senators Birch and Evan Bayh. For Robinson, whose main responsibilities for the campaign involved organizing events and updating social media accounts, his biggest lesson was learning about the different political atmospheres throughout the state. “I really do like the aspect of…running the campaign and doing all the work,” Robinson said.

Democrats walk out on workers
In reference to Miss ISU: No woman left behind? Dear editor My name is Kaleena (Dale) McCormick. I just read your article regarding Miss ISU and found your comments to be disrespectful to the women who participated and lacking factual backing. Perhaps the most insulting of all the comments was your question “how many of [the contestants] could be classified as intelligent?” As a former Miss ISU, I take great offense to that comment. I graduated from ISU with a 4.0 GPA. I interviewed for one job after graduation and earned the job out of a large and highly qualified applicant pool, based on my interview skills, work experience, and campus and community and involvment and leadership, skills I would not have had without my Miss ISU experiences. Aside from my firsthand experience as Miss ISU, I can speak from a judge’s perspective. As one of the judges of the competition on Saturday, I can confidently answer your question regarding the intelligence of the contestants. Every one of the 16 contestants was intelligent. Your article made no mention of the 10-minute interview in which these women participated the morning of the pageant. These women were able to discuss personal opinions on current events, answer questions about issues relevant to their majors, etc. The women are strong students who give back to the ISU and Terre Haute communities. They were not “cookie cutter images of what a woman should be,” as you implied. They were women of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. The one common theme in the entire interview was that this program had changed these women’s lives. Many of them commented that they had made great friends in the process, gained confidence and learned valuable interview skills that will serve them well as they go forth to interview for jobs after college. If more women were like the diverse group of women I had the opportunity to meet on Saturday, the ISU community would be an even better place. Rather than bashing the Miss ISU program, we should praise the women who wanted to compete for the opportunity to be an ambassador for this university. We should give the program the publicity and praise it deserves. Respectfully, Kaleena McCormick

Imagine that for five weeks, you decide not to go to work to protest what your coworkers are doing. You expect to not only keep your job, but still earn your paycheck. When you are faced with financial penalties for skipping work, you are both surprised and upset. But that would never happen, right? In case you weren’t paying much attention last spring, this situation played out at the Indiana Statehouse. One day, the Democrat representatives didn’t show up to session. No one thought too much of it, as they claimed to be caucusing (which happens all the time). But gossip goes around the Statehouse pretty quickly, and word got out that some of them had run off to Illinois. Everyone was pretty much dumbfounded. The disbelief only increased with each passing week. Finally, five weeks later, with almost no changes in the stance of the Republican representatives, the Democrat representatives returned. They were fined fairly heavily and fought the fines as much as they could. But session moved on, and even with the five-week pause, no major legislation was delayed. Perhaps legislation did not get as much careful consideration as it might otherwise, with session shortened by five weeks—session which can only last until April 29 by law. The legislation that sparked the Democrat walkout was an introduced Right-to-Work bill that passed out of committee. The bill was referred to a summer study committee in an effort by the Democrat epresentatives to claim they had won something with their walkout. While not killing the bill outright, it delayed consideration of the bill for at least another year.

Well, the Right-to-Work bill was considered by the summer study committee who decided to advance the proposal at the end of October. Legislators in both chambers have indicated that they will propose Right-to-Work legislation in the coming session. Since the issue that caused the Democrats to flee to Illinois the first time will almost definitely be coming up again, one wonders what they’ll do this time. Fines for leaving were added in the last session, so camping out in Illinois could have much more drastic financial implications than last year. The most any legislator was fined per day was $350 by the end of five weeks, but the new law would automatically fine them $1,000 each day. But if the issue is the same, how can the Democrats justify not walking out this time while still maintaining that they “did it for working Hoosiers” last year? They claimed to have been forced by Republicans to walk out in an effort to “save the middle class,” but with a shorter session and increased penalties, that option looks less attractive. Under current law, workers at jobs with a union are forced to pay union dues. Even if they do not see any benefit or disagree with the way the union spends its money (such as supporting Democrats who have exiled themselves to another state)—they cannot opt out of paying those dues. While this sounds like an infringement on individual freedom, it may also have economic impacts as well. Many businesses will refuse to relocate in a state that isn’t Right-to-Work. A recent publication by Site Selection magazine identified the top ten states with the best business climate. Of those top ten, eight are Right-to-Work states—Indiana ranked 6th. Unemployment rates are of high concern, so why wouldn’t we want to attract as many jobs as possible? Perhaps instead of “saving the middle class,” Democrats should focus on putting them back to work.

Self-satirizing destroying U.S. The Statesman cartoon
Michael Laub In the Democrat’s Corner
The other day, Republican presidential candidate, Michelle Bachmann, claimed that Iran has threatened us with nuclear attack. I had no idea; how can this happen? Who knew that the Iranian government has been in possession of nuclear arms and willing to use them? Wait, no, they haven’t done any of that, and they do not have any nuclear power to use against the United States. They have said they are not trying to get a nuclear bomb. If they were going to threaten the U.S. with a threat of nuclear warfare, doesn’t that undermine their claims? I find it hilarious and scary—mostly scary—that someone who is running for president can be allowed to make an outrageous statement and be so incompetent. Throughout my life, I have seen this nation begin to transform into something very disgusting and selfsatirical. Within 20 years, this nation turned from a super power with serious people running it, to a corporate cesspool and the laughing stock of the world. To be honest, we were on that downward spiral after World War II, but it did not become so apparent until recent years. We are living in a world portrayed in Saturday Night Live sketches (if anyone watches that still) or where The Onion could almost be a legitimate news source. This country has gone off the deep end and is merely a shadow of what it once was. In this country, we have cartoonish, rich people who have all the power but don’t really want to do anything with it other than to just make more money. We
have youth in revolt who want to stop the rich from being oppressive but have no real direction. This reminds me of the Israelite Liberation Front, from the Monty Python movie “Life of Brian,” who planned on doing something against the Romans, but, overall, did not do anything. (Well, at least they were organized.) This country has news organizations that simply lie to the public because their corporate owners want to make sure the people stay mindless consumers. We have mindless drones running this country that care more about their own needs than the common man’s, and it is a perfect example that Plato would use to show why democracy wouldn’t work. What event or sequence of events caused our nation (maybe the entire world) to go down this maddening path of insanity? Is there some chemical they put in food and water? Is it the poor education in the schools? Whatever the event, something happened to allow a person like Bachmann to run for president and not be instantly laughed off the campaign trail. She has no reasoning skills, says anything (even if it is not true) and would instantly undo any progress that President Obama has made (which is very little, but still something). Maybe the world was always like this, but I was too young and naïve to really see it until my most recent years. It is just as likely that I am the last sane person left in an insane world. All I know for sure is that whatever is wrong with this world is just going to get worse. I might as well sit down, make some popcorn, and watch the world fall into more ridiculousness before I flee to Canada when whatever new president declares war on everyone.

Sycamore Educators Day emphasizes personalized learning
Falcons/FROM PAGE ONE “hopes they continue to nest in the area and that it doesn’t affect the future of their species.” The falcons may decide to make a new nest somewhere else on campus, or they may seek a new a different building within town. “The Star building in downtown area is higher than the towers here,” Rukes said. “They may have falcons, but I don’t know.” Peregrine Falcons are considered birds of prey; they have been clocked diving for prey at speeds up to 200 mph. The peregrine falcons of ISU often perch upon the Statesman Towers in search of prey, and when they spot it they dive
after it, catching it by surprise. The falcon’s diet mainly consists of other small birds that nest in the area. “Making people aware of these types of birds, especially if they are endangered or threatened, is important” said Rukes. “And it’s really neat to see.” Rukes and her husband enjoy bird watching, and she refers to herself as a “birder”. They often come to the Statesman Towers trying to catch a glimpse of Helga or her mate. “It’s something that you just don’t see every day,” Rukes said. “It’s an exciting thing”.
Students, alumni, faculty and staff attended sessions elaborating the importance of personalized learning in the classroom at the 15th annual Sycamore Educators Day at the Bayh College of Education on Saturday. Sycamore Educators day is a way for students and professors to learn and grow effectively from education practitioners, ISU professor of educational leadership Todd Whitaker said. The event began at 8 a.m. and lasted until 3 p.m. There were many sessions that students could take part in throughout the day. It was a free event available to all students wanting to join. “Teaching is helping young people believe the impossible is possible,” Whitaker said. The theme of this year’s event included meeting the needs of all learners and making learning personal. Educators from all across Indiana came to share their experiences with other professionals and for future student teachers. Graduate counseling alumna of ISU Allyson Strother attended the event and saw the benefits it offered to her. “It gives me material to take back with me to my [own] students,” she said. Sycamore Educators Day also helps bring awareness to teachers’ importance in the classroom, Whitaker said. “They shape and educate the leaders of the world,” Whitaker said. “Followers are never going to cure cancer.” “Education is something that ISU takes seriously,” associate dean of Bayh College of Education Denise Collins said. “Students can go out into the field to gain practical knowledge and gain hands-on information, which exposes them to new ideas.” The Bayh College of Education sponsored the event.

Honoring veterans: Campus to take part in Rememberance Day National Roll Call JOSHUA JULIAN Reporter
Following the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy, Indiana State University has joined a nationwide effort to honor American service men and women who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan through Rememberance National Roll Call Day, a nation wide event that names fallen soldiers. Amanda Bremmer, program coordinator for the Center for Community Engagement said the office saw this event on the NASPA (Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education) Veteran Knowledge Community’s website. The National Roll Call is sponsored by NASPA Veterans Knowledge Community (VKC) and Student Veterans of America (SVA). NASPA represents more than 12,000 administrators in higher education and SVA has over 400 chapters at colleges and universities nationwide. The objective is to have students from at least one school in every state read all the names of the Operation En-
during Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom casualties with all schools pausing at 11:00 a.m. PST (2:00 p.m. our time) to observe a “minute of silence.” Currently there are 180 schools across the 50 states participating in this event. “This year, Veterans Day, or Remembrance Day as it was originally called, will mark the 10th year of Post 9-11 combat,” Bremmer said. “To date, 6,243 U.S. service members have died in two major theaters of operation — Iraq and Afghanistan, as of Oct. 15, 2011.” Chelsea Ellis, president of the Student Veterans Organization, hopes that this will become an annual tradition. “We have volunteers from the Army and Air Force cadets and members from the Student Veterans Organization,” Ellis said. “We also have family members from the local area who have lost their loved one who will be helping read names. By signing the National Role Call Day Pledge, Bremmer said, ISU promised to participate in the synchronized

reading of over 6,000 names of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom casualties. This list does not include the names of casualties on or after 10/29/2011 — another final roster will be sent on November 9 that will include the 10/29/2011 —11/09/2011 names after next of kin are notified. Volunteers will rotate approximately every 15 minutes, reading 250 names. “I think it is a very powerful message to send to the troops who are serving and to the ISU community, to have members of our community honor their sacrifices by taking time to individually name the fallen,” Bremmer said. Veterans Benefits Coordinator Michael Caress works with students who are or have been in the military and will also be involved with the activities of the National Role Call. “We have had Veteran’s Appreciation Day on campus for the past three years. This is a combination participation of the Army and Air Force ROTCs
and the Student Veterans Association,” Caress said. “I hope people who have been affected by the conflicts will realize their sacrifices are appreciated and not forgotten.” “This is a great way to honor our soldiers, although we can never thank them enough,” Ellis said. “I believe this is a good way to show our respect and sympathy towards these amazing men and women.” Remembrance Day National Roll Call is part of ISU’s Veterans Day Schedule of Events Friday. The names will be read outside of the entrance to Cunningham Memorial library, approximately taking 6 hours to complete. The Remembrance Walk for Hoosiers will be held outside the library, a nd a flag for every fallen Hoosier will be raised. In the library’s Events Area, a wreath laying ceremony and a moment of silence will take place at 11:00 a.m Friday. The schedule of events concludes the night with Military Day at the ISU basketball doubleheader.

Trend of the Week
That’s a wrap: scarves make fashionable and winter-friendly accessories Tia Muhammad Reporter

As climate changes drastically throughout the week, scarves can be used to make those necessary apparel transitions look fashionable and smart. Scarves can be used in many styles and functions. They can become head scarves, used around the neck for warmth, compliment apparel and tied around purses for a stylish look. One that is most popular styles seen widely on ISU campus is the doubled neck scarf. Junior marketing major David Jordan sported the neck scarf with a layering effect. “It was cold this morning,” Jordan said. “I put some stuff on that I could take off once it got warmer later on in the day.” Jordan rocked his Hot Topic scarf with a grunge look of hip, rugged jeans, studded belt, and a hooded jean jacket.
Senior technology major Min Kim executed her look of a long cheetah scarf with details of red and royal blue symbols. “I like this scarf because it is cute and fun,” Kim said. “I got it from Goodwill for like $1.99. Great buy.” Vogue.com’s fashion guru Filipa Fino said the scarf trend is still alive even on the runway scene. In DKNY’s latest spring show by fashion designer Donna Karan, the scarf trend was in full motion with doubled, old silk neck scarves, as well as folded triangle scarves tied to the back for a Midwest-meets-Hollywood look. “Think Jackie O. wearing her Hermès while horseback riding, folded in a triangle like a true gaucho—looks simple yet chic,” Fino said. “Everyone should have a fashion scarf in their closet,” Kim said. “It’s a must.” For more tips and fashion news on the latest trends, visit Vogue.com.

Women’s cross country perform well at Hoosier Invitational; preps for Regionals Richelle Kimble Reporter
Upcoming Events Women’s Basketball Friday at Hulman Center 8:05 p.m. vs. Detroit
Men’s Basketball Friday at Hulman Center 5 p.m. vs. Eastern Illinois University
Cross Country Saturday Great Lakes Regional Championship at Toledo, Ohio 12 p.m.
Six runners from the Indiana State women’s cross country team competed in the Hoosier Invitational Friday at Indiana University. Five runners competed for the Sycamores, while one runner competed unattached. “This was a great opportunity for all of [our runners] to keep improving as collegiate runners,” Head Coach John Gartland said. “Some of [them] took advantage of the situation more than others.” Junior runner Hanna Mercer led the lady Sycamores, finishing 15th. She finished the 5k race in a time of 19:50. “For Hanna, it was a great performance,” Gartland said. “She got up and ran with some really good runners, and earned a spot as our alternate for the Regional meet.” Sophomore runner Ashley Name was next for ISU, finishing 20th in 20:49. Junior runner Serena Simeoli placed 21st in 20:52, freshman runner Casey Jo Boose placed 22nd in 22:00, and freshman runner Emily Qualls placed 24th in 24:06. Freshman runner Shelby Sands ran unattached and finished 23rd in 22:56. The non-scored event was smaller on the women’s side, having only 24 runners from schools, including Indiana University, University of Toledo, University of Illinois, and Indiana State University. The Indiana University course is among

the most challenging in the region and lays on a golf course with several hills. The meet allows runners to improve their competition skills and gain another race with a competitive setting. “This is the second year we’ve done this,” Gartland said of the Hoosier Invitational. “It’s a really great idea because it is kind of void competitively and is fit for a variety of people. I think each year the competition will grow.” The women’s cross country varsity team took the weekend off to prepare for the Great Lakes Regional Championship in Toledo, Ohio Saturday. The top two teams and the top four individuals in each of the nine regions will automatically qualify for the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships, as well as the next 13 at-large teams and two at-large individuals. There will be a total of 31 teams and 38 individuals racing at the championship meet. Though the Indiana State women are not currently ranked in the top 15 of the over 35 teams in the Great Lakes Region, Gartland said that the team goal is still set high. Individually, Gartland said that sophomore runner Jessica Zangmeister hopes to finish in the top 25, which will grant her AllRegion status. “The goal is to be in the top 15, where we were ranked earlier this year,” said Gartland. “We were there for about half a year, and that’s where we want to get back to.”

Final Score
The importance of every play in a football game was proven in the Louisiana State University (LSU)-Alabama game. This game also showed the importance of special teams. This grindit-out, tough, defensive game was not the most entertaining game of all time, but it definitely lived up to all the hype. One of the most impactful plays in this game took place on the opening kickoff. It was your typical kickoff with a normal return. Maze, Alabama kick returner, returned the kick 26 yards and jogged over to the sideline with a slight limp. This slight, barely noticeable limp played a huge role in the game. Marquis Maze reinjured his ankle later in the game and it really handicapped him in the fourth quarter. , Alabama had a chance of scoring in the fourth quarter when they tried a trick play with Maze as the quarterback. He faked
the end around, and then Maze threw the ball towards a wide open tight end. The ball was underthrown and picked off at the one yard line by Eric Reid. If Maze’s ankle had been 100 percent, would the pass have been on target? That is pure speculation, but it makes you think. After LSU’s next series, they had to punt the ball out of their own end zone. Brad Wing, LSU punter, waited for the snap to punt the ball while Maze waited to return. Wing received the snap and booted a low, line-drive, powerful punt. Maze began to run to receive the punt but had to stop because of his hurt ankle. The ball then rolled all the way past the Alabama 20 yard line for a 73 yard punt.
Column/13

Column/13 This was crucial because it was the fourth quarter and had Maze caught the punt, Alabama would have probably had the ball near midfield with a better chance to win the game in regulation. Because of Maze’s ankle that was initially injured on the first play of the game, Alabama potentially suffered in two key plays late in the game. This, of course, is still pure speculation, but when you look at the facts, LSU won the game with special teams. Both teams had two turnovers, nearly the same time of possession and close to the same amount of yards. The difference in the game was the special teams of LSU. The first aspect LSU excelled in over Alabama was field goal kicking. LSU made all three of the field goals, and Alabama made a combined two of six. LSU made 100 percent of their field goals while Alabama only made 33 percent of theirs. The other aspect LSU excelled at was their punting. Wing kicked a key 73 yard punt (3rd longest in LSU history) in the fourth quarter and punted four inside the 20 yard line. Two of those punts were downed inside the 5 yard line.
This game showed two equally talented teams that gave it all they had. The only reasons I feel LSU ended up on top was because of their excellent special teams and the hurt ankle of Maze.
Because of Maze’s ankle that was intially injured on the first play of the game, Alabama potentially suffered in two key plays late in the game.

ISU Men’s cross country perform well at Hoosier Invitational; ranked ninth in Great Lakes Region Richelle Kimble Reporter
The Indiana State men’s cross country team competed Friday at the Indiana University Hoosier Invitational. Three men ran with Sycamore jerseys while 11 others competed unattached. Unattached runners freshman runner Taylor Head and senior runner Andrew Lepkowski led the men through the 8k race. Head finished seventh in a time of 25:59 and Lepkowski finished 13th in 26:34. “I was very pleased with Taylor. He is going to be a key player for us the next few years,” said Head Coach John McNichols. “I know he will play a greater role as a 5th year senior, which is why we held him out.” Following were the three competitors for Indiana State: freshman runner Milton Brinza finished 14th in 16:36, junior runner Brandon Query finished 17th in 26:41, and junior runner Andrew Sullivan finished 23rd in 27:16. Also competing unattached were junior runner Zach Miller in 25th place (27:28), junior runner Corey Hahn in 27th (27:32), freshman runner Gabe Ocasio in 29th (27:37), freshman runner Bryan Horsman in 37th (28:12), freshman runner Dylan Bertsch in 40th (28:31), freshman runner Luke Owens in 43rd (29:18), freshman runner Phillip Espinosa in 45th (29:41), freshman runner Steve Humes in 48th (30:26), and sophomore runner James Walters in 49th (30:26). The meet also gave the ISU men’s team a glimpse into their future squad. “There will be a lot of freshmen that will step up next year when we loose Jeremiah, Craig, and Tyler,” Hahn, who ran an 18 second personal best, said. “They will really be needed and will be very useful; there are plenty of spots that will need to be filled.” McNichols said that, along with red shirt freshman Head, next year will include the contribution of Ocasio
and Miller as they recover from injuries. In addition, McNichols is counting on a strong recruiting year to enhance the team’s depth. “It is going to be a key year for recruiting,” McNichols said. “We have the bodies to come back as a very good team, but it is still a critical recruiting year.” No score was kept for the Hoosier Invitational; the event allowed several unattached and junior varsity runners to emerge into competition settings. There were 50 runners competing in the men’s race from schools, including Indiana University, Wabash College, Ohio State University, University of Toledo,and Indiana State University. “It ended up being a really good day to race,” Hahn said. “It was nice, sunny and warm. It was one last race for everybody of the year.” The men’s varsity team rested this weekend to prepare for the Great Lakes Region Cross Country Championships in Toledo, Ohio Saturday. The men are ranked 9th in the preNCAA Great Lakes Regional poll, a heightened placement following their Missouri Valley Conference win. The top two teams and the top four individuals in each of the nine regions will automatically qualify for the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships, as well as the next 13 at-large teams and two at-large individuals. There will be a total of 31 teams and 38 individuals racing at the Championship Meet. “It’s a very competitive region, and is traditionally one of the strongest,” McNichols said. McNichols said that the region competition begins to mix a bit following the dominate teams of Wisconsin University and Indiana University and the teams and individuals advancing to the national meet will depend on who races well at the right time. The Sycamore men have a handful of runners that will be competing for the top 25 All-Region finish, which will open opportunity for an at-large spot in the national meet.
