VU Track and Field closes out regular season strong at Sycamore Open

0

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Vincennes University Men’s and Women’s Track and Field teams closed out the 2025 Outdoor regular season this past weekend at the 2025 Sycamore Open hosted by Indiana State University in Terre Haute.

VU was looking to get one more good opportunity to add a few more NJCAA National qualifiers for this weekend’s NJCAA Outdoor National Championships.

The Vincennes Men’s sprint crew was led by sophomore Zion Pruitt (Avon, Ind.) who placed second in the 400 meter hurdles with a final time of 54.81 seconds.

The sprint results continued with freshman Karmiel Williams (Jasper, Ind.) taking fourth in the 100 meter dash at 10.98 seconds and 10th in the 200 meters with a time of 22.37 seconds.

Freshman Devin Wilson (Indianapolis, Ind.) joined Williams in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, with Wilson posting times of 11.13 seconds and 22.91 seconds respectively to place sixth and 12th overall.

Freshman Marshawn Bradley (Dyer, Ind.) rounded out the Trailblazers in the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.51 seconds to place seventh and freshman Aaden Mapp (Indianapolis, Ind.) placed 14th in the 200 meters with a time of 24.34 seconds.

The Trailblazers then put on a show in the 400 meters, with freshmen Isaiah Ervin (French Lick, Ind.), ArTezz Butler-Sanders (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Kelvin Kipsang (Kapsabet, Kenya) placed one-two-three in their heat, with Ervin placing eighth overall with a time of 50.07 seconds, Butler-Sanders taking ninth at 50.94 seconds and Kipsang placing 10th at 51.15 seconds.

Kipsang also competed in the 800 meters and placed fifth with a time of 1:58.46, while freshman Dakoda Greci (Danville, Ind.) taking 10th in the 800 meters with a time of 2:05.63.

Sophomore Tanner Spence (Carmi, Ill.) led the Trailblazers in the 1500 meters, winning his heat and placing fifth overall with a time of 3:59.01.

Sophomores Caden Hostetler (LaGrange, Ind.) and Nathan Whitehead (Vincennes, Ind.) followed Spence with Hostetler taking 15th in the 1500 at 4:19.18 and Whitehead placing 16th with a final time of 4:20.80.

The VU Men’s Track results on the day were rounded out by the distance team in the 5000 meters led by freshman Lane Connaway (Carmi, Ill.) who placed 12th overall at 16:03.04 and freshman Jeremy Mendez (Velpen, Ind.) taking 15th overall at 16:33.15.

VU was led in the field events by freshman Tremayne Brown (Anderson, Ind.) who picked up the event win in the high jump after clearing a height of 2.05 meters.

Freshman Chase Guthrie (Indianapolis, Ind.) placed third in the triple jump with a distance of 13.23 meters, while freshman Bryce Peak (Brownstown, ind.) placed seventh in the javelin with a best throw of 42.93 meters.

Freshman Cayden Gasser (Delphi, Ind.) had another busy day for the Trailblazers, taking eighth in the javelin with a throw of 36.15 meters and 14th in the shot put and hammer throw with a best throw of 11.25 meters in the shot put and 30.91 meters in the hammer.

The VU Women’s team was led on the day by sophomore Jasmyn Self (Casey, Ill.) who placed seventh in the 800 meters with a time of 2:29.66, followed by freshman Allie Black (Lynn, Ind.) who placed 11th with a time of 2:43.79.

Sophomore Adi Fuller (Evansville, Ind.) and Alexis Hale (Evansville, Ind.) took home eighth and ninth respectively in the 1500 meters, with Fuller crossing the line with a time of 5:12.61 and Hale posting a time of 5:18.04.

Freshman Braylee McKinnon (Linton, Ind.) closed out the Trailblazer results on the weekend by taking 11th in the javelin with a throw of 22.30 meters and 13th in the discus with a best throw of 22.33 meters.

Members of the Trailblazer Men’s and Women’s Track and Field teams will now look to carry this momentum into the 2025 NJCAA Division I Outdoor National Championships hosted by Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kan.

The three day event will begin Thursday, May 15 and run through Saturday, May 17.

Message from the Chair

The impact of SB1’s unnecessary revenue cuts is becoming clearer—and more damaging. State revenue is projected to drop by over $1 billion, while financial obligations remain unchanged. Market performance is lagging, and Hoosiers will soon be asked to do more with less. The small property tax savings promised by SB1 will likely be erased by rising local taxes needed just to keep basic services running.

This week, the state chose not to participate in a federal summer food program that helps feed 700,000 low-income Indiana children. For many kids, school is their main source of nutrition, and summer already leaves them vulnerable. This decision is yet another attack on public education and social support in Indiana.

Vanderburgh County Democrats will do what we can—rallying support for local food banks and families in need—but these vital centralized programs cannot be fully replaced at the local level. No child should go hungry in a state with so much. Hunger is a policy choice, and it’s one our current leadership continues to make.

Meanwhile, Governor Braun is now openly considering tolling Indiana’s interstates to cover the self-inflicted budget shortfall. If that happens, the “Crossroads of America” may soon come with a price tag.

We’ll continue to see more cuts, more shortfalls, and more burden shifted onto working Hoosiers unless we demand better. Contact your representatives. Call and write the governor’s office. Speak up—because the consequences are already here.

Cheryl Schultz, Chair

Don’t get lapped by Indy 500 scammers, Attorney General Todd Rokita warns 

0

As Hoosiers and out-of-state visitors prepare to spend money on good times at the Indy 500, Attorney General Todd Rokita is waving the caution flag — encouraging fans to beware of con artists.

“Scammers are getting sophisticated enough to trick even veteran track-goers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “All fans should take some basic safeguards before purchasing tickets, paying for parking, or making online reservations.”

Many counterfeit passes and tickets appear to be authentic, but Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) staffers can spot fakes right away. In the past, race fans have made it all the way to the gate before getting turned away for fake parking passes or tickets.

Attorney General Rokita offers the following tips to avoid scams during this year’s race activities:

  • Remember that if deals sound too good to be true, they usually are.
  • Purchase items directly from IMS whenever possible.
  • Consider your source. Know the difference between a professional ticket broker (a legitimate and accredited reseller), a ticket scalper (an unregulated and unlicensed ticket seller), and a scammer selling scam tickets.
  • Know the refund policy. You should only purchase tickets from a ticket reseller that provides clear details about the terms of the transaction.
  • Use payment methods that come with protection. Always use a credit card so you may have some recourse if the tickets are not as promised.
  • Call ahead or confirm hotel reservations directly.
  • Check the reviews for the hotel or wherever you’re staying.
  • Look for warning signs, like prices that seem a little too low or website addresses that seem odd.
  • Get email confirmations for all reservations and tickets.
  • Be mindful of QR codes, which can be placed by scammers to enable them to gain access to electronic devices.
  • Be wary of online accounts that do not use multi-factor authentication.

Hoosiers are encouraged to contact the Office of the Indiana Attorney General to report any suspected scams or scam attempts. You can file a complaint by visiting indianaconsumer.com or by calling 1-800-382-5516.
