Redbirds Sweep MVC Indoor Championships for Second-Straight Year

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – On the final day of the 2019 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships, hosted by Northern Iowa, the Redbird men's and women's teams left their mark in the Illinois State record books, sweeping the indoor titles for the second-straight season. The back-to-back sweep for ISU is a first in program history.

"The make-up of this year's wins on both sides was definitely different than a year ago, as we got a strong contribution from our field events, including the men's high jump, men's pole vault, women's shot put, and multis" said Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Jeff Bovee.
