TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Longtime women's head coach and former Sycamore standout Angela Martin has been named the interim director of Indiana State University men's and women's cross country and track & field, ISU Director of Athletics Sherard Clinkscales announced Wednesday.

Martin, who has been an assistant coach at Indiana State since 2002-03 and the women's head track & field coach since 2010-11, replaces legendary head coach and program director John McNichols, who passed away on Dec. 21 due to complications from a stroke.
