Men’s <strong>Cross</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>2012</strong> Season Preview<strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s men’s team enters the<strong>2012</strong> cross country season with morereliance on a young group of runnersthan in year’s past. The Sycamoreshave just three seniors on the teamthis year with five sophomores, eightred shirt freshmen, and eight truefreshmen. The tradition of Sycamore<strong>Cross</strong> <strong>Country</strong>, however, is in goodhands with this group of young men.ISU won their third straight MissouriValley Conference Championship a yearago and has four veterans returning whoplaced in the top 30 at the conferencemeet. The team title was the Sycamoresninth championship as a member ofthe Missouri Valley Conference. TheSycamores won three straight MVCteam titles from 2004 to 2006 afterwinning their first title in 1996 andgaining their second conference crownin 1998.Head coach John McNichols, whois beginning his 30th season at thehelm of the program, believes thatthe Sycamores have a good chance ofwinning their fourth straight title thisyear if they continue to train hard andremain healthy.The Sycamores lost the services oftwo seniors to graduation includingJeremiah Vaughan and Craig Padgett.Vaughan finished second at the 2011MVC Championships becoming thefourth Sycamore to finish second at theValley championships. He was a threetimeAll-Conference performer, finishingfifth in 2010 and sixth in 2009.Padgett was also a three-time All-Conference performer, finishing fourth in2011 and 2010 after a 10th place finishin 2009. Padgett also earned All-Regionhonors with a 16 th place finish at theGreat Lakes Region Championship.Leadership for the <strong>2012</strong> team hastransferred to four seniors in DustinBetz, Albaro Escalera, and CoreyHahn.Betz and Escalera are All-Conferenceperformers with Betz finishing sixthand Escalera seventh at the 2011championships. Escalera earned his firstAll-Conference recognition in 2010 witha third place finish. Hahn and Sullivan,normally middle distance runners forthe Sycamore track & field team, didnot compete in 2011.There is plenty of experience amongthe six sophomores on the <strong>2012</strong> teamled by Tristan Selby who was 18th atthe MVC Championships and DrewGambill who was 26th in <strong>2012</strong>. MiltonBrinza ran in five meets during theseason and was 51st at the <strong>Indiana</strong>Intercollegiates. Brad Adams and BryanHorsman did not compete a year ago.Eight red-shirt freshmen are alsoon the team with several expected tocompete for one of the top spots on theroster this year including Taylor Head,John Mascari and Gabe Ocasio. Otherred-shirt freshmen are Dylan Bertsch,TSteve Humes, Kyle Kauffman, andGarrett Smith.Five true freshmen will also competefor a roster spot including AndrewKump, Nathan Kump, Kyle Nurse,Daniel Swem, and David Timlin.The <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong> season begins inPeoria, Ill., this year as the Sycamorescompete in the Bradley Invitationalwhich will be run on Friday, Sept. 7.That will be followed a week later bythe <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong> Intercollegiates whichwill be hosted by <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong> on theLaVern Gibson Championship <strong>Cross</strong><strong>Country</strong> Course at the Wabash ValleyFamily Sports Center on Sept. 14.The Sycamores finished third a yearago behind Purdue and <strong>Indiana</strong> withVaughan leading the <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>charge with a fourth place finish. Betzwas 10th.That is the only home meet of the<strong>2012</strong> season for <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong> as theSycamores will compete in the NotreDame Invitational on Sept. 28, thePre-National Invitational at Louisvilleon Oct. 13, the MVC Championships inNormal, Ill., on Oct. 27, and competethe regular season with the HoosierInvitational on Nov. 2.

Women’s <strong>Cross</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>2012</strong> Season Preview<strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s women made greatprogress as a team in both 2009 and2010 as they finished 4th in the MissouriValley Meet both years. The 2011team, despite high hopes and a verygood year overall, finished a very disappointingsixth in the MVC Meet heldon the Gibson Course. The <strong>2012</strong> teamwill be challenged to put 2011 behindthem and contend for an MVC Title.During Coach John Gartland’s 24 yeartenure as head women’s cross countrycoach, he has led the Sycamores to twoconference titles (1991 and 1993), andin 16 of those 24 years, <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>teams have finished in the top four ofthe conference. Those teams have finishedsecond in the MVC three times,third six times and fourth five times.Most recently, the Sycamore women’scross country team has placed thirdin the MVC Conference Meet in 2000,2001, and 2003.“This is a very hard team to predict,”said Gartland who is preparing to coachhis 25th women’s cross country teamat <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>. “Each woman hasrun very well at times but we have notbeen able to come through in biggercompetitions as a team.”The key losses from 2011 are KacieKlem, Andrea Prusz and Kristy Twitchell.In 2011, they were the Sycamoresfirst, third and fifth runners, respectively.“We will miss those three graduatedseniors very much,” said Gartland, whois a past Conference Coach of the Year.“Besides being very tough and competitiverunners, they were strong leaders.I hope someone can step up andtake their places in both areas. I lookforward to coaching this team becauseof the collective positive attitudes andwork ethic of the team members.”The top returner is junior JessicaZangmeister. Zangmeister made hugeprogress a year ago in both cross countryand track. She improved her crosscountry times to 18:20 and 21:50 whilerunning a time of 17:25.01 in the 5,000on the track this past spring. She finished11th in the MVC cross countryrace but came back strong outdoors toplace in both the 5,000 and the 10,000in the MVC Outdoor Meet. She is aformer Footlocker finalist who finished26th in that 2008 national race.The fight for positions after Zangmeisterwill be very close with a numberof runners vying for positions in thetop five. Kalli Dalton, a transfer fromMississippi <strong>State</strong> a year ago, madeprogress throughout the year. As herfitness improved, so did her racingprowess. She culminated her first seasonas a Sycamore by finishing thirdin the MVC Steeplechase, running astunning 10:47.31 to break the schoolrecord by five seconds. She looks to improveher 18:59 cross country 5k froma year ago.Nicole Lucas, one of the top highschool runners in <strong>Indiana</strong> in 2010, contributeda lot to the team in her freshmanyear. She now looks to step it upto a new level as she is familiar with theDivision I scene. Lucas ran 18:56 and22:44 in her freshman year.Val Burns had some very bright competitivemoments in her second year at<strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>. She improved to 18:53and 23:36 in cross, and had a very nicebreakthrough indoors running 17:24.72for 5,000. Unfortunately, a non-runninginjury ended her outdoor season earlyand she will probably be red-shirted forthe cross country season.Hanna Mercer, a senior fromNorthridge, will also fight for a topfive position on the team. Mercer’s bigbreakthrough this past spring came inthe steeplechase, where she improvedto 10:57.24, third best in school history.She looks to take that improvement intocross where her steeplechase strengthwill help. Ashley Name has shownflashes of brilliance over her first twoyears at <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong> but was slowedby injury for most of this past year. Sheshould be able to improve on her bestof 19:37, set during her freshmen year.Kylee Thacker, one of <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong>’stop runners in 2010, redshirted the entire2011-12 year. She looks to regainher form from two years ago when sheran 18:56 and 23:12, and finished 38thin the MVC <strong>Cross</strong> <strong>Country</strong> Meet.Sydney Chapman is a newcomerGartland is excited to have. The formerstar from Hamilton Heights hasrun 18:46 over the 5k cross countrydistance. She has been one of thebest high school distance runners in<strong>Indiana</strong> over the past two years. TriciaJoll, Emily Cotterman, Alyson Johnson,and Holli Walker are the other freshmennew to the <strong>2012</strong> team. Joll andCotterman were members of the strong2011 Valparaiso and Terre Haute Northteams, respectively.The roster is full of other potentialcontributors for the Lady Sycamores.Terre Haute North grads Alexa McFaddenand Lindy Jones return in theirjunior years. Additionally, veterans EmilyMercer, Amy Hicks, Shelby Sands,Casey Boose, and Emily Qualls returnto give the Sycamores a lot of depthand a very large, yet competitive team“Our <strong>2012</strong> schedule will challengeus,” said Gartland. “After our first meet,we will compete every other week, allowingus to recover and train well inbetween. We will start our season atBradley on September 7th. A weeklater we will compete at the Intercollegiates,held this year on our GibsonCourse. We will again compete at theNotre Dame Invitational, where wehave been very competitive the pastfour years. The MVC Meet will be heldat Illinois <strong>State</strong> this year, and the GreatLakes Regional will be in Madison, Wis.,my hometown. We look forward to gettingsomeone qualified for the NCAAMeet, held this year in Louisville, Ky., atSawyer Park.”Gartland assesses the potential ofthe team this way:“We were all very disappointed theway the MVC came out a year ago,”said Gartland. “We ran very well leadingup to that meet and very well twoweeks after at the Regional Meet, butwe did not come through when weneeded to. This year we need to useour early meets as confidence buildersfor the big day on October 27. We needto stay healthy and have some of ouryounger runners develop quickly. Thechallenges will be fun.”Page A6Sycamore <strong>Cross</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Yearbook</strong>
