EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Men’s and Women’s Track & Field will compete at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Outdoor Championships for the final time Friday-Saturday in Bolivar, Missouri. The meet was originally scheduled for Thursday-Saturday, but was changed to a two-day event due to the forecast of inclement weather.
 
The Screaming Eagles, who will be in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2022-23, are coming off a strong effort at the GLVC Indoor Championships back in February. USI’s men finished fourth, with junior Titus Winders (Mansfield, Indiana) capturing three conference titles en route to earning GLVC co-Track Athlete of the Year honors, while USI’s women also posted a fourth-place finish.
 
Led by Winders, the Eagles have three of the top five GLVC times in the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters, while junior Madison King (Avon, Indiana) is ranked No. 3 in the 800 meters. Winders ranks first in the 5,000 meters and second in the 10,000 meters, thought he will likely not compete in the 10,000 meters this weekend.
 
Senior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) is ranked third in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters.
 
USI’s women have several top-five times, with sophomore Cameron Hough (Olney, Illinois) leading the pack in the 5,000 meters and the 10,000 meters, while fellow classmate McKenna Cavanaugh (New Albany, Indiana) ranking second in the steeplechase and fourth in the 1,500 meters.
