Former USI standout Jordan makes strong Olympic Trials push

0

Former University of Southern Indiana Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field All-American Michael Jordan ’15 (Indianapolis, Indiana) made a strong push for a spot in the upcoming U.S. Olympic Trials Friday night.

 

Jordan, competing for the New Jersey-New York Track Club, finished 17th in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Hoka One One Middle Distance Classic in Eagle Rock, California. His time of eight minutes, 35.47 seconds was just 3.47 seconds away from a U.S. Olympic Trials automatic qualifying time and ranks him 14th in the U.S. in 2016 and 66th in the world.

 

A five-time All-American at USI, Jordan owns the top three times in school history in the steeplechase. He was the 2012 GLVC Cross Country Runner of the Year before earning U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association Midwest Region Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year honors in 2013.

 

The two-time steeplechase All-American finished third in the event at the 2013 NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships and sixth at the 2012 NCAA II Outdoor Championships. He posted a school-record time of 8:42.63 at the 2013 Payton Jordan Invitational.

 

If Jordan qualifies and competes at the U.S. Olympic Trials, which are July 1-10 in Eugene, Oregon, he will become the third former USI Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field All-American to compete at a U.S. Olympic Trials event in the last six months.

 

This past February, Jesse Davis ’06 (Bloomington, Indiana) and Dustin Emerick ’12 (Elmwood, Illinois) competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials marathon in Los Angeles. Emerick finished 26th in the event, crossing the finish line in 2:22:18, while Davis was 70th with a time of 2:29:39.

 

Jordan graduated from USI in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Golf senior Anastasia Carter (Granger, Indiana) finished her career as a Screaming Eagle with a tied for 26th-place finish at the NCAA Division II National Championships. A 76 in the final round brought her four-round total to 300 (+12) for the event, which was held at CommonGround Golf Course.

Starting on the front-nine for the first time since the first round, Carter began her round with a birdie on the first hole. Bogeys on holes five, six, and eight gave carter a two-over-par, 38 on her opening nine holes.

Despite a birdie on hole 11, three bogeys on 10, 12, and 14 moved Carter to four-over for her round through fourteen holes. She would end her round and the national championships with four consecutive pars for her 76.

Gabrielle Shipley of Grand Valley State University took home the individual title after a birdie on 18 and a four-round score of 282 (-6). The University of Findlay’s Kasey Petty finished one stroke back while Isabell Jimenez Perea of Tarleton State University was the final individual completing the event under par with a 285 (-3).

Rollins College won the team championship with a score of 1173 beating out Nova Southeastern University by nine strokes. The 2015 national champions finished third with a four-round score of 1183.

Coming into the 2015-16 season, Alisha Luigs had the lowest stroke average for season with a 78.1 average per round set in the 2005-06 season. Carter’s teammate sophomore Taylor Howerton lowered the record with her average of 78 strokes per each of her 15 rounds in 2015-16. With Carter’s 300 at the national championships, her average for the season dropped to 77.8 in 30 rounds giving Carter the lowest season average in USI history. Carter also becomes the only golfer in USI Women’s Golf history to compete in a four round event with her score of 300.

The only USI Women’s Golfer to appear at the national championships, Carter’s ends her career with a number of accolades. A four-time All-Great Lakes Valley Conference team honoree, she was the 2014 GLVC Individual Champion, the only win of her career. The 70 Carter scored in her final round of the 2014 GLVC Championship is tied for the third lowest round in program history, while her total of 145 from the event is tied for the lowest score for a 36-hole event at USI. Carter’s resume also includes three Academic All-GLVC awards and being honored as a 2016 Academic All-District IV team member.

Sycamores blank Aces in regular season finale

0

The University of Evansville baseball team was shut out for a second straight day at Bob Warn Field on Saturday as the Purple Aces wrapped up the regular season with a 3-0 loss to host Indiana State.

With the loss, the Aces finish fifth in the conference and will head into next week’s Missouri Valley Conference Tournament with a 27-25 record and a 9-12 mark in league play. Meanwhile, the Sycamores grabbed the No. 2 seed and complete their regular season at 34-19 with a 13-8 showing in MVC games.

Austin Allinger got the nod on the mound for the Aces, but a trio of miscues marred his start as the Andy Young scored the opener on a Boomer Synek passed ball in the first. A pair of errors in the third ultimately resulted in two more, accounting for the final score.

Allinger dropped to 4-3 on the year after allowing five hits without issuing a walk, and Brandon Gomer and Ryan Brady combined to keep the Aces in the game with four shutout frames afterwards.

“Whenever you can throw two freshmen and a sophomore and get an effort like that, it’s fantastic,” UE head coach Wes Carroll said. “I really like where our pitching is going into the conference tournament. We have four or five guys who can come in and throw up goose eggs consistently, but our offense needs to step up and get going.”

ISU, on the other hand, played a clean game in the field and pitched just as well as Weston Rivers surrendered three hits in the first 5.1 innings to move to 3-0, and Damon Olds gave up just one hit over the final 3.2 frames to earn his third save of the year.

UE will return to Bob Warn Field next Wednesday as Missouri Valley Conference Tournament play is slated to begin. Further information regarding official game times and a bracket will be announced later this weekend.

USI ADVANCES TO REGIONAL FINALS

0

The University of Southern Indiana baseball team advanced to the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional finals for the second time in three seasons after defeating sixth-seeded Ashland University in a slugfest, 13-8, Saturday evening in Quincy, Illinois. USI, the fourth seed, sees its record go to 36-19 overall, while Ashland watches its mark go to 33-21.

With the victory, the unbeaten Screaming Eagles earn the day off on Sunday as top-seeded Quincy University, fifth-seeded Missouri University of Science & Technology, and Ashland battle for the right to play USI for the regional crown on Monday. The first regional final game Monday is slated for noon. Should the Eagles lose the noon contest, an “if necessary game” would follow at 3:30 p.m.

USI senior rightfielder Kyle Kempf (Evansville, Indiana) got the offense going in the first inning, hitting his fifth home run of the season and his second of the regional to put Eagles up, 1-0. The Eagles increased the early lead to 2-0 on senior third baseman Trent Gunn‘s (Tell City, Indiana) sacrifice fly in the second inning.

Ashland, however, was not about to go quietly and rallied to take a lead of its own, 3-2, in the bottom of the second.

The Eagles bounced back with a 4-run spurt in the third, highlighted by five-straight two-out hits, to retake the advantage, 6-3. Ashland responded in the bottom half of the inning to cut USI’s margin to 6-5.

USI extended the lead to three, 8-5, in the top of the fourth when Kempf doubled in a run and senior catcher Ryan Bertram (Zionsville, Indiana) singled in Kempf. One inning later, USI gave up the lead for the second time when Ashland knotted the game up, 8-8, with a three-run fifth.

Senior first baseman Andrew Cope (Evansville, Indiana) provided the offense in the final three innings to get USI the victory. Cope drove in the eventual game-winning run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh to make the score 9-8 before highlighting a four-run ninth with a two-run blast to right field as the Eagles closed out the 13-8 victory.

On the mound, senior right-hander Alex Holder (Princeton, Indiana) gave the Eagles five strong innings in relief to earn his fourth win of the year. Holder (4-5) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks, while striking out three.

Senior right-hander T.J. Decker (Brazil, Indiana) was clutch once again in the final innings as he earned his third save of the regional. Decker pitched two innings, allowing two walks and striking out three in picking up his team-best ninth save of 2016.

The Eagles started freshman right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana). Krizan earned a no decision after going two innings and allowing five runs, two earned.
