Counting hurdling standout David Kendziera, the Illini will have seven athletes at the premier outdoor track and field event that starts today at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus. Staff writer SCOTT RICHEY caught up with them:
Jason Shannon, Devin Quinn, Cole Henderson,
Mo Maat and Joe Haight | 400 relay
The Illini qualified for the NCAA championships with the 18th-fastest time and will run in perhaps the fastest heat alongside top-seeded Florida and Ohio State (only two teams with sub-39 second-seed times).
