BLOOMINGTON, Indiana – Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson announced today that IU Athletics will welcome six new members to its Athletics Hall of Fame. The six individuals comprise the 40th class, bringing the roster of inductees to 261.
 
Meradith Dickensheets (Rowing, 2012-15), Angel Escobedo (Wrestling, 2007-10), Mel Groomes (Football, 1944-47), Peggy Martin (Field Hockey/Women’s Basketball/Softball, 1969-72), Glenn Terry (Men’s Track and Field, 1990-93) and Cody Zeller (Men’s Basketball, 2012-13) will be officially inducted at the annual Hall of Fame dinner on Sept. 5, and will be recognized at halftime of the Indiana-Kennesaw State  football game at Memorial Stadium the following day. 
 
In addition to those six 2025 inductees, Kyle Schwarber (Baseball, 2012-14) was also selected for inclusion in the IU Athletics Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Due to the requirement that all living Hall of Fame inductees attend the ceremonies, Schwarber has deferred his induction this year and will be officially welcomed to the Hall of Fame in a future year when his Major League Baseball schedule permits him to return to Bloomington for the Hall of Fame festivities.
 
“Indiana University has a rich history of success in a wide variety of sports, which is highlighted in this year’s Hall of Fame class that touches on eight of our programs and includes representation from six different decades,” Dolson said. “We are excited to welcome these six individuals to the Hall of Fame and congratulate them and their families on this well-deserved honor. We continue to have an abundance of highly-qualified candidates to consider each year, which goes to highlight the extraordinary achievements of these six and their impact on our department, their sports, and Indiana University.”
 
The IU Athletics Hall of Fame, established in 1982 by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics in conjunction with the Varsity Club and the I-Association, recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the prestige of IU both on and off the field of competition.
 

 
Meradith Dickensheets (Rowing, 2012-15)
 
The most accomplished student-athlete in the 25-year history of the IU Rowing program, Dickensheets was a two-time First-Team All-American in 2014 and 2015 as well as a two-time First-Team All-Big Ten honoree those same two seasons. She accomplished all of that after joining the program in 2012 as a freshman walk-on with no previous rowing experience. But she quickly blossomed under the tutelage of Coach Steve Peterson, and ultimately guided IU Rowing to its first two NCAA Championship berths in 2014 and 2015, including program-best 11^th place NCAA team finishes both years. She is the first IU Rower to be inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame.
 

Angel Escobedo (Wrestling, 2007-10)
 
Escobedo is one of the most accomplished wrestlers in IU history. During his four years competing for the Cream and Crimson, the Gary, Ind., native won an NCAA title at 125 pounds as a sophomore to go along with three Big Ten titles from 2008-10. In addition to his 2008 NCAA title, he also placed fourth at NCAAs as freshman, fifth as a junior, and third as a senior, making him the program’s only four-time All-American. He compiled a 137-14 career record, and he still ranks second in program history in wins and third in pins (42). After graduation he competed internationally with Team USA, and earned a fifth-place finish at the 2013 World Championships and a second-place finish at the 2015 Pam Am Games. He continues to make an enormous impact on the IU Wrestling program as its head coach, and he’s preparing to begin his eighth year in charge. He’s overseen the steady improvement of the program each year, highlighted by last season’s 24^th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.
 

Mel Groomes (Football, 1944-47)
 

Groomes was a mainstay in the IU offensive backfield from 1945-47, where he lined up next to fellow IU Athletics Hall of Fame member George Taliaferro. Groomes was the leading receiver on IU’s undefeated 1945 Big Ten Championship team as well as on the 1946 squad, and earned All-Big Ten honors in both football and track and field.  After graduating from IU in the spring of 1948, Groomes was signed to an NFL contract by the Detroit Lions, who had recently lured Groomes’ IU coach – Bo McMillin – away from Bloomington to take over as the head coach of their franchise. Groomes played in the Lions’ 1948 season opener on Sept. 22, 1948, and in doing so became the first Black player in Lions’ history and the first Black player from IU to play in the NFL. After injuries ended his playing career, Groomes spent four years in the Air Force before turning to the coaching profession – in baseball. His baseball head coaching career was highlighted by a 31-year stint at North Carolina A&T from 1956-87 where he won 463 career games. Groomes passed away in 1997 at the age of 70. 
 

Dr. Peggy Martin (Field Hockey, Women’s Basketball, Softball, 1969-72)
 
A pioneer student-athlete at Indiana University, Martin was a three-sport standout as an undergraduate from 1969-72. Most notably, she was the captain of the IU Women’s Basketball team that earned three consecutive trips to the AIAW Tournament during her playing career. In addition, Martin earned three letters as a member of the IU Field Hockey program and four as a member of the softball team. After graduating from IU in 1972 and later earning her Ph.D. from IU in Physical Education, Martin went on to enjoy a Hall of Fame coaching career in another sport – Volleyball. Martin compiled a 1,064-281-8 record in 33 years as a head volleyball coach at Central Missouri, making her the winningest Volleyball coach in NCAA Division II history. She led the program to 19 straight conference titles from 1982-2000, and was the Division II National Coach of the Year in 1987 after leading the program to a runner-up NCAA finish. She’s spent the last 15 years as the head volleyball coach at Division II Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala.,  where she has gone 424-96 overall and a remarkable 233-9 in conference games. Her teams have won the last six conference regular season and postseason championships, and entering the 2025 season, her teams had not lost a regular season conference game in 10 years. She will enter her 49^th season as a head coach this fall with a 1,488-377-8 career record, giving her the most victories of any coach at any NCAA level.  Martin has won 28 Coach of the Year awards overall and was inducted into the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame in 2009.
 

Kyle Schwarber (Baseball, 2012-14)
 
Arguably the most accomplished college and professional baseball player IU history, Kyle Schwarber was a two-time First-Team All-American during his three years in Bloomington. He concluded his IU career among the program’s all-time leaders in slugging (.607), home runs (40), hits (238), and runs (182) while batting .341 in 180 games. He was the anchor of an IU program that won two Big Ten regular and tournament titles during his three seasons and advanced to the 2013 College World Series for the first time in program history. In 2014 Schwarber was drafted fourth overall in the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs and has gone on to tremendous successes during an 11-year (and counting) career that has included Chicago (2015-20), Washington (2021), Boston (2021), and Philadelphia (2022-present). His teams have advanced to the playoffs nine times, highlighted by the Cubs’ 2016 World Series Championship. As of July 16, 2025, he has 313 career home runs, including an NL-best 46 home runs in 2022. He’s also a three-time All-Star (2021, 2022, and 2025) and was named MVP of the 2025 game after hitting three home runs in an extra-inning ‘Swing Off’ that earned the National League the victory after the teams were tied after nine innings.
 

Glenn Terry (Track and Field, 1990-93)
 
After arriving in Bloomington in the fall of 1989 as one of the most celebrated high school track athletes in the country, Terry more than lived up to those lofty expectations during his four years with the Hoosiers. As an IU senior in 1993, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native captured a pair of individual NCAA titles, winning the 55-meter hurdles indoor title and the 110-meter hurdles outdoor crown. He also had two other top-three finishes at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 55-meter hurdles during his career, was a five-time All-American, and a six-time Big Ten individual event champion. In addition to his individual success, he helped Coach Sam Bell’s program to an extended run of excellence from a team standpoint. During Terry’s four seasons IU Track and Field won five Big Ten team titles (three indoor, two outdoor) and had seven top-20 team finishes at the NCAA Championships.
 

Cody Zeller (Men’s Basketball, 2012-13)
 
While the Washington, Ind., native spent just two seasons in Bloomington before departing for the NBA as a first-round draft pick, few players in the history of the IU Basketball program have made as big of an impact as Zeller did during his time on campus. The IU program went a combined 22-41 in the two years before his arrival in 2011, but a remarkable 56-16 during his two years in an IU uniform. During his debut season in 2011-12, Zeller earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors after leading IU in scoring (15.6) and rebounding (6.6) and helping IU to a 27-9 record. IU also earned its first NCAA Tourney invitation in four years and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in a decade. Zeller’s follow-up performance as a sophomore was even better. He earned second-team All-America honors, averaged team-bests of 16.5 points and 8.0 rebounds and helped lead IU to its first Big Ten title in 11 years, its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 20 years, and a second-straight Sweet 16 appearance. At season’s end, Zeller was selected with the fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft by Charlotte. He spent 12 years in the NBA with five different franchises and averaged 7.9 points/game during his career.

NATCHITOCHES – A four-time All-American, several Southland Conference champions and two members of a team responsible for the most iconic moment in Northwestern State athletics’ history highlight the 2025 N-Club Hall of Fame class.
 
The 13-member group, which was chosen through a combination of a public vote of Northwestern letterwinners and a selection committee, will be honored during a 10 a.m. induction ceremony Oct. 4.
 
Cody Fillinich, a four-time All-American in the javelin, leads a class that spans seven Northwestern sports. Three Demon football players – punter Mike Crow, running back Derrick Johnese and wide receiver/return specialist Toby Zeigler – and three Demon men’s basketball players – guards Josh Hancock, Tyrone Mitchell and Jermaine Wallace – will give their programs multiple inductees.
 
Softball also is represented by multiple inductees – pitcher Amanda Glenn and coach Gay McNutt.
 
Amanda Bennett (women’s basketball), Heather Penico (soccer) and David Reynolds (baseball) complete the competitive-ballot selections. Layne Miller, a former Demon baseball player whose constant support has endeared him to generations of student-athletes and coaches, was named the Distinguished Service Award honoree.
 
Fillinich, a South Lafourche product, competed from 2004-09, earning four All-American honors in his signature event, the javelin. He added a runner-up finish at the USA Juniors competition and represented Team USA at the Junior Pan-Am Games. Among his All-American honors were two first-team finishes, including a No. 4 finish at the NCAA Outdoors. At the end of his career, he was the second four-time All-American male javelin thrower in the NCAA.
 
All three Demon basketball players made their marks on NCAA Tournament teams. Mitchell and Wallace were key pieces of two straight Southland Conference regular-season championship squads.
 
Hancock was chosen as a member of the “Fab 50” portion of the Northwestern All-Century Team, which honored the first 100 years of Demon basketball. A point guard from Kountze, Texas, Hancock earned a pair of Academic All-Southland Conference honors in his career. Known for his distribution skills at the point – he finished with 307 career assists, sixth in program history at the end of his career – Hancock sealed the Demons’ first NCAA Tournament victory by connecting on a final-minute, 3-pointer to defeat Winthrop.
 
Mitchell, a New Iberia native, etched his name in the school record book as the program’s all-time steals leader with 264 – a mark that still stands 20 years after his career concluded. Mitchell earned second-team All-Southland Conference and was part of the SLC All-Tournament Team in 2005-06 when the “Demons of Destiny” knocked off Mississippi State, Oklahoma State and Oregon State in the regular season before authoring one of the most remarkable NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters against third-seeded Iowa. A rock in the lineup, Mitchell, a member of the “Fab 50” portion of the Northwestern All-Century Team started 116 of his 120 career games and led the Southland in both steals and assists in 2004-05 as the Demons won the first of two consecutive Southland regular-season titles.
 
Wallce, a native of Heflin, began his career as the 2002-03 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and capped it with the game-winning 3-pointer in the Demons’ 64-63 NCAA Tournament upset of Iowa on March 17, 2006. A two-time All-Southland Conference selection, Wallace still ranks 13^th on the school’s all-time scoring list with 1,427 points. He averaged double-figure points in each of his first three seasons, topped by a 15.5 mark as a sophomore. A member of the “Fab 50” modern era roster of the Demons’ All-Century Team, Wallace’s 200 career 3-pointers stood as a school record for nearly a decade.
 
Just as Mitchell and Wallace shared a locker room and a Northwestern roster, so did football’s Johnese and Zeigler, who played together for three seasons from 2002-04.
 
Johnese came to Northwestern from Baton Rouge and departed as the program’s top scorer (212 points) with his mark still standing as the most points by a non-kicker. His 34 career touchdowns also top the program’s career list while his 3,085 rushing yards remain fourth despite sharing time in the backfield. His 3,371 all-purpose yards remain ninth in school history. A two-time, first-team All-Southland selection, Johnese was the 2004 Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year while helping the Demons reach the 2002 and 2004 FCS Playoffs. A Top 100 Demon Football Players of All-Time member, Johnese’s 14 rushing touchdowns in 2002 still stands second in school history while his 1,153 rushing yards in 2004 is fifth in the program record book.
 
Zeigler, a Monroe native, was a versatile weapon who could torch defenses and cut up special teams coverage units. A two-time All-Southland return specialist, Zeigler capped his career as the Southland, state and school record-holder in career punt return average (12.5 on 108 career returns). That mark also ranked second in FCS history. The Demons’ all-time all-purpose yardage record holder (4,943), Zeigler also matched the then-career reception record with 99. A member of the Top 100 Demon Football Players of All-Time, Zeigler played in the Canadian Football League for Edmonton in 2006.
 
Crow gives the Demon football contingent another record holder in the N-Club Hall of Fame. Crow’s career marks of 276 punts and 11,028 punt yardage remain school records. Crow earned first-team All-Gulf Star Conference and All-Louisiana honors as a junior in 1985 when Northwestern led the FCS in net punting average at 40.4 yards. In addition to his career marks, Crow owns single-season school records of 74 punts (1984) and 2,929 yards (1985). In addition to his punting prowess, Crow’s career included an 86-yard touchdown pass to John Stephens on a fake punt that helped beat McNeese.
 
McNutt and Glenn did not cross paths in Natchitoches, but they each left an indelible mark on the Lady Demon softball program.
 
McNutt led the program to its first two NCAA Tournament appearances (1998, 2000) as part of a three-year run of Southland Conference titles from 1998-2000. In those three seasons, McNutt led Northwestern to a 112-55 mark, a .671 winning percentage. The 1998 season, in which Northwestern went 40-18 and 23-3 in Southland play, snapped a skid of five straight losing seasons. Her 161 career victories are third in program history.
 
Glenn was a two-way standout whose name peppers the school record book as both a hitter and a pitcher. In the circle, Glenn posted two of the top-four strikeout seasons in school history, fanning 236 batters in 2006 (3^rd) and another 2016 in 2007 (4^th). Glenn ranks second all-time in career strikeouts with 568 and is third in innings pitched with 560. A two-time first-team All-Louisiana selection who added two third-team All-Southland honors, Glenn set a still-standing school record for walks drawn (39) in 2007 and left as the career walks leader (99), holding the record for nearly a decade. A power hitter who slugged 29 career home runs, Glenn’s 125 RBIs remain fourth in program career history.
 
Penico was a pivotal piece of the success the Northwestern soccer program enjoyed in the early 2000s. The 2005 Southland Conference Player of the Year, Penico lead the Lady Demons to a Southland Conference Tournament crown and an NCAA Tournament appearance. The 2002 SLC Freshman of the Year as NSU grabbed an SLC Tournament championship was a two-time All-Southland and two-time All-Louisiana selection during her career, which saw her score 21 goals and finish with 53 points in 78 games.
 
Like Penico, Bennett was a key piece of an NCAA Tournament program. The 2003-04 Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Bennett was an All-Southland Tournament selection in 2004 as the Lady Demons swept the regular-season and tournament titles, advancing to the NCAA Tournament. A first-team All-Southland pick in 2003-04, Bennett earned second-team All-SLC honors the next season. A two-time Academic All-District and Academic All-Southland pick, Bennett finished her career with 1,163 points, which still ranks 26^th in program history, and sank 177 3-pointers, now eighth in school history.
 
Reynolds started three seasons at shortstop for the Demon baseball team, earning All-TransAmerica Athletic Conference and All-Louisiana honors as a freshman when he hit .274 with six home runs and 34 RBIs. Reynolds was a 22^nd-round draft pick of the Chicago White Sox. Reynolds shifted primarily to the mound in the pros, going 36-28 with 22 saves in his minor league career, reaching as high as Double-A.
 
The 2025 Distinguished Service Award winner, Miller briefly played one season of baseball at Northwestern. His daughter, Lauren, played softball at NSU. Miller has served as a board member for the Demon Booster Club/NSU Athletic Association/Demons Unlimited Foundation and has served as chef for innumerable team meals and tailgate feasts. A native of Mongomery, Miller has helped establish relationships with coaches and administrators that has allowed them to develop support systems that have been vital to their success.

Distinguished Service Award
Layne Miller — A Demon baseball player as a freshman, and father to a Lady Demon softball player (Lauren), Miller’s deep involvement with NSU Athletics is unmatched as a supporter of all teams, a Demon Booster Club/NSU Athletic Association/Demons Unlimited Foundation board member in parts of four decades, and as the tireless chef for hundreds and probably thousands of team meals and tailgating feeds for fans at countless football, basketball, softball and baseball games. It began in the 1970s and continues today … helped Donald Horton, George Etheredge and Steve Wiggins develop the tailgating setup with running water, electricity and RV hookups that is today’s Donald’s Demon Alley and is still innovative decades after its debut … the Montgomery native made the 1972 Demon baseball team as a walk-on in fall tryouts, was issued jersey #22, but never played before accepting a lucrative job offer in the spring and leaving school … graduated three decades later with his time as a student interrupted by military service and family obligations … his service to athletics has included volunteer work at countless fundraisers through the years and helping new coaches and administrators get vital relationships established in Natchitoches and with surrounding supporters and high school and summer ball coaches.
 
 

The first day of the USA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, saw Anna Hall do what she does and 35-year-old Emily Infeld do what she has never done before. 

Hall, a former silver medalist at the 2023 World Championships and an Olympian a year ago, dominated the Women’s Heptathlon on the first day at Hayward Field winning multiple events in the heptathlon. 

But stealing the show toward the end of thenight was Infeld. The veteran runner and a 2016 Olympian with a World Bronze to her name, won her first national championship in the 10,000m run with a time of 31:43. 56. 

The decathlon and heptathlon took over the track and field in Track Town USA on July 31, the first of four days where athletes will compete for national titles and a spot at the Tokyo World Championships in September. But some stars were in action, like Sha’Carri Richardson, as the first round of some sprint events began. 

Here’s a recap of what happened on Day 1:

Join The Track & Field Conversation On Social

Fanbase Voices is an exciting new initiative powered by Learfield that allows fans to help shape the future of college athletics. Through direct surveys, Fanbase Voices captures fan sentiment on key topics related to college athletics, including content consumption, fan experience, NIL, revenue sharing, sponsorships, and more. Fanbase Voices surveys are emailed to tens of thousands of fans who have opted into Learfield communications each month. This process allows Learfield to gain insights into college sports fans and convert that knowledge into strategic actions for our school and brand partners.

What Benefit does Fanbase Voices Offer?

Fanbase Voices offers unique insights custom curated by Learfield to help athletic departments and brand partners to act and impact their business by:

• Understanding college fans and how they feel about important topics during a time of unprecedented change in college athletics.
• Customizing marketing content to determine how to best align with fan preferences and consumption patterns.
• Elevating game-day experiences, ultimately increasing attendance.
• Enhancing sponsorship strategies by aligning with fan interests and behaviors.
• Defining upcoming trends that drive fan engagement and media coverage.

Highlights from Fanbase Voices First Survey

The Fanbase Voices first survey focused on sports consumption, featuring how fans interact with their favorite team, including fan second-screen behavior, college sports spending habits, and game attendance drivers.

Second Screen Content: College sports fans are highly engaged digital users, often consuming content on second screens to elevate fan and viewing experiences.

Top Fan Activities on Second Screen Devices:

College fans participate in a variety of activities on their second-screen devices while watching college sports on TV.  This fall SIDEARM Sports will introduce a new dynamic gameday experience in their app to provide fans with features that elevate game day content and bring the excitement of gameday into their hands.

Opportunity: Schools and brands can leverage second-screen experiences via their official athletics app to deliver deeper engagement with fans on gameday. Brands can embed themselves in these experiences and/or create unique ways to engage with fans, to maximize the excitement of college sports on gameday.

College Sports Spending: College fans are the largest, most affluent group of sports fans who are deeply loyal to their teams, which translates into significant spending on college sports.

Additionally, these fans spend a significant amount of money supporting their teams by attending games and wearing the colors of their favorite schools. In fact, 87% of college fans in the survey spend on team merchandise and 84% spend on tickets yearly.

Opportunity: College sports fans are not only passionate about their teams but also strongly support their schools through spending habits that drive revenue. By better understanding fan preferences, partners can deliver advanced and targeted fan experiences and maximize revenue streams for their organizations.

Game Attendance: College fans value more than just the wins and losses; the full game-day experience plays a vital role in fan loyalty.

Price is ultimately still the primary driver that influences their decision, but several other factors play an important role in making the decision to attend games.

Opportunity: Athletic Departments can benefit from focusing on the important factors that impact a fan’s decision to attend games, including price, atmosphere, and game-day experience. They can aim to build the right atmosphere around their events so that fans view these events as fun ways to spend time with friends and family.

The Future of Fanbase Voices:

Fanbase Voices will explore new and engaging topics each month. Fanbase Voices survey insights are an opportunity for Learfield, partners, and schools to better understand fan preferences, in turn elevating business practices and strategies at a high level.

Fanbase Voices will also complement the comprehensive Fanbase Fan Report, which is updated regularly and shows demographics, trends, and insights into college sports fans.

The Fanbase team invites you to participate in future Fanbase Voices surveys to share your perspective on college sports.

MOREHEAD, Ky. — The Morehead State men’s and women’s cross country teams will welcome 12 newcomers this fall, including a pair of distinguished collegiate transfers. The group includes six men and six women. All 12 will also be members of the track and field team.

“Both cross country teams are replacing some big pieces, but we think we did a good job this recruiting class,” MSU head coach Clay Dixon said. “Two transfers for the men bring experience that can impact this season. The freshmen are coming off great cross country or track seasons and look to potentially be contributors. (The) women bring in talented freshman and a transfer that look to contribute to the top seven as well.”

Headlining the class are graduate student Aiden Massey [Olathe, Kan./Baker (Kan.) University] and sophomore AJ Hawkins (Worthington, Ohio/Eastern Michigan).

Massey will be on his third school, after graduating from Baker University in Kansas this spring. He will be pursuing an MBA at MSU. He spent the first year and a half of his career at Emporia State.

Massey is the Baker record holder in three events, including the 10,000-meter and 5,000-meter runs, and the 8K in cross country. Last fall, he placed 114th at the NAIA national championship. He also was second at the conference cross county meet. He won two of the team’s four regular-season races. During the indoor season, he finished fifth in the mile and 12th in the 3,000-meter run at the conference championships. He did not run in the outdoor campaign.

In 2024, Massey was second in the 10,000m at the outdoor conference meet and was the top collegian across the line in that event at the Kansas Relays. In the 2023 campaign, he won the 5,000m at the CMU Invite and was second in the 1,500-meter run at the Baker University Relays. He enrolled at Baker in January of 2023 and won the conference title in the 5,000m a month later. He did not compete at the 2023 Heart of America Conference outdoor championships.

Massey began his career at Division II Emporia State. He only ran in one cross country meet in the fall of 2022 and did not finish. The previous spring, he had two top-10 performances, including placing second in the 10,000m at the Emporia State Midwest Classic. In the indoor season, his top finish was fifth in the mile at the Kansas State Steve Miller Invitational. In his freshman year, he placed 114th at the NCAA Division II Central Regional. His top finish during the regular season came at the Emporia State Cross Country Invite, where he was 13th in the 8K race.

At Olathe West High School, he helped set the 4×800-meter relay school record.

Hawkins competed in six meets during the cross country season. His best finish came at the George Dales Invite, when he placed 22nd in the 8K. He also finished 24th in the 5K at the Jeff Drenth Memorial in the 5K. He was 70th at the Mid-American Conference meet and 185th at the Great Lakes Regional. During the indoor and outdoor track season, he placed no lower than 21st in his nine races. Included in those results were four top-10 finishes, peaking with a victory in the 1,500m at the Hillsdale College Tune-Up.

At Worthington Kilborne High School, Hawkins was a two-time state qualifier, once in cross country and once in track and field, and a two-time all-district selection in cross country with another one in track. In addition, he was honored as all-conference in track and qualified for the regionals three times in the 4×800-meter relay. He also earned four second-team all-conference accolades in cross country. He competed in both sports all four years, serving as a team captain in two seasons for each team. He is a member of the school record-holding 4×400-meter relay and distance medley relay. He finished his career as ranked among the top five in school history in both the mile and in cross country’s 5K. His WKHS cross country squad won two conference titles.

Among the women, junior Adi Fuller (Evansville, Ind./Vincennes (Ind.) Univ.] reunites with former Trailblazer teammate Lani Baskett. Fuller spent the last two years at Vincennes. Baskett, now a junior, joined MSU after the fall of her freshman season. In the 2024 cross country campaign, Fuller was second on the team at both the regional and national meets, placing fifth and 92nd, respectively. The Trailblazers won the regional title and finished 19th nationally. As a freshman harrier, she was sixth at the regionals and 71st at nationals, while leading the team in both races. That season, Vincennes was second at the regional meet and 18th at the nationals. In both years, Fuller competed in the National Junior College Athletic Association’s half marathon national championships. In track and field, she qualified for the outdoor nationals, placing 20th in the steeplechase as a sophomore and 19th as a freshman. Indoors, she was part of the 10th-place finishing 4x800m relay squad, 12th in the distance medley relay and 28th in the mile in her final season. In her first year, she placed 27th in the 5,000m outdoors, 12th in the DMR and 13th in the 4x800m. At the national meet, Vincennes finished 17th (indoors) and 20th (outdoors) in 2024-25, and 23rd (indoors) and 18th (outdoors) in 2023-24.

At F.J. Reitz High School, Fuller earned 11 letters across three sports (cross country, swimming and track and field). She was a three-time semi-state qualifier in cross country, while her team captured three city titles and one sectional crown during her career. She served as the captain of her cross country squad and was a four-time winner of the Wayne Weller Sportsmanship and Leadership Award.

The ladies of the Blue and Gold also are keeping alive a family tradition. Freshman Sydney Filippazzo (Louisville, Ky./Male Traditional School) is the daughter of former Eagle cross country/track and field team members Jason Filippazzo and Mandy Maddox, who both had successful careers at the crossover of the 21st century. The younger Filippazzo earned all-county honors in both cross country and track and field three times. She qualified for two state cross country meets, with her top finish of 60th coming in 2023. She placed among the top 25 individuals at the regionals in all three of her appearances, with her team taking third each time. In track and field, she participated in five state meets, primarily running as a member of the 4×800-meter relay. That group’s top performance came in 2022, when it placed eighth outdoors. Individually, she crossed the line in 20th in the 1,600-meter run at the 2025 indoor meet and 23rd in the 3,200-meter run as a freshman.

Male High School perennially contended for the state team title, finishing in the top eight in the last four meets, including second outdoors in Filippazzo’s senior year, third indoors her junior season and fourth indoors in her final campaign. Her team also finished second in a highly competitive region in each of the last three years outdoors. Individually, her best regional track performance came this past spring, when she was third in the 3,200m. Her Bulldogs’ 4x800m relay also placed third at the regional in her final two seasons.

Academically, Filippazzo graduated as a valedictorian after posting a 4.1 GPA, and was a member of the A and B Honor Roll all four years of high school.

Peyton Lunsford (Harlan, Ky./Harlan County High School), Kyle Crady (Crestwood Ky./Oldham County High School), Josh Arnett (Lexington, Ky./Paul Laurence Dunbar High School), Lance Garner (Brandenburg, Ky./Meade County High School), Jesus Mendoza-Solis (Paris, Ky./Bourbon County High School), Lauren Jones (Normal, Ill./Normal High School), Josey Cobin (Brandenburg, Ky./Meade County High School) and Addison Hill (Danville, Ky./Danville Christian Academy) all enter as freshmen.

Lunsford won eight individual regional titles and four team championships during her six-year career with Harlan County High School. She also holds the school’s 5K cross country record, which she has both set, broken and reset several times. In addition, she is an outstanding student, earning academic all-state honors in both cross country and track all six years. Lunsford also has been crowned the Area 7 cross country champion three times. Her top finish at the state cross country meet was eighth as a junior, with the Black Bears ending as the state runners-up. She also placed in the top 20 three times and the top 50 on five occasions. Her teams won the region title in both 2023 and 2024 and never finished below fifth. They also won four Area 9 championships. Individually at that competition, she was fourth or better in all five meets in which she ran, winning the title the last two years.

On the track, Lunsford set two other school records, in the 800m and 4x800m relay. She competed in four state outdoor track and field meets, earning a spot on the podium in the 4x400m relay as both a junior and a senior. Her best individual finish came this past spring, when she was seventh in the 800m. She also ran the 400m, 800m, 1,600m, 3,200m and has been a member of the 4x400m relay teams at the state championships. In just track and field, she has participated in 13 state races during her career. Over that time, her teams finished in the top 30 each season. At the regional, she has won the 800m, 4x400m and 4x800m relays twice each; and appeared on the podium an additional 14 times. Harlan County won the regional track title in 2024 and 2025 and finished in the top four all five years in which she competed. It also won the area crown three times. In addition, she is a two-time area champion in the 800m and 1,600m, and was both the conference and area Runner of the Year in her final two seasons.

Crady’s 4x800m relay teams won back-to-back state titles in 2024 and 2025, tying the state record in the latter year. That season, he also finished 15th in the 800m. As a junior, he was 11th in the 1,600m. The 4x800m team was the state runner-up at the 2025 indoor meet. He also finished seventh in the 4x800m relay at the 2023 outdoor state championships. A first-team all-state cross country honoree by the Kentucky Track and Cross Country Coaches Association in 2024, Crady helped lead his Oldham County High School cross country team to a third-place finish at the state meet. Individually, he was 44th. He qualified for the state cross country championships four times, twice finishing in the top 100. His team also placed sixth in both 2023 and 2021. At the regionals, he placed within the top 40 all four years. Crady was a member of the National Honor Society. He was twice recognized on the KTCCCA Academic All-State Team and once on the KHSAA Academic All-State Team. His twin brother, Sean, will run at the University of the Cumberlands (Ky.) this fall.

Arnett earned three all-region and three all-district cross country honors at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. He was named all-state in cross country, placing 20th in the KHSAA 3A championships in 2024. He also finished seventh in the 1,600-meter run and 16th in the 800-meter run at the 2025 state outdoor track and field meet, and sixth in the 800m in the state indoor competition. As a junior, he was 91st in the cross county meet, qualified for the outdoor championships in the 4×800-meter relay and finished 16th in the 800m indoors.

Garner was named all-region twice and all-conference four times. His Meade County High School Green Waves’ squad won four consecutive cross country conference team titles, two regional crowns and were regional runners-up twice. Individually, he finished 53rd as a senior and 99th as a junior at the state cross country meet. In the 2025 outdoor track campaign, his team won the regional title, while his 4x800m relay placed 10th at the state. In 2024, that relay won the region and was 22nd at the state competition. He also was a member of the National Honor Society and on the All “A’s” Honor Roll.

Mendoza-Solis was a state champion in track and field and finished in the top 100 all six years he competed at the state cross country meet. In total, he claimed 13 podium finishes in state track and field events, including anchoring the 4×400-meter relay to the crown in 2025. Individually, he also placed second three total times in the 800m both indoors and outdoors. He also won five regional track titles and was a runner-up nine times. Over five state meets between 2023-25 (three outdoor and two indoor), Bourbon County High School finished in the top five. As a senior in cross country, the Colonels placed second in the state, while Mendoza-Solis crossed the line in 14th. In his final four cross country seasons, Bourbon County finished second in the region.

Jones is a member of the Normal High School record-setting 4x400m relay team. She earned all-state honors in the 4x400m and was the regional champs as part of the 4x800m relay. A versatile athlete, Jones placed fifth in the 200-meter dash in the sectionals, while both her cross country and track and field teams finished between sixth and eighth in the sectionals each year she was on the team. An academic standout, she earned the Illinois High School Association’s Scholar-Athlete Award and the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete Award each year in school.

Corbin, like Garner, comes to MSU from Meade County High School, where her team was the conference track and field conference champion in 2023. As a senior, she placed ninth in the 800m and sixth as a member of the 4x800m relay team at the regionals. As a junior, she was 10th in the 800m and sixth in the 4x800m at the regional meet.

A standout soccer player, who started all four years of high school, Corbin tallied 13 goals and had eight assists in her senior campaign. Over her career, she recorded 50 goals and 37 assists. The Green Waves won their district title all four years.

Hill competed in five cross country and five track and field state championships in her career. In her final four seasons as a harrier, she placed in the top 50. As an eighth-grader, she finished 68th. At the regional meet, she finished fifth, seventh, eighth, 12th and 13th over her first five campaigns. As a seventh-grader, she was 34th. In her final three seasons, the Warriors finished seventh or eighth in the team standings. In track and field, she qualified for the state in the 1,500m (indoors), 1,600m and 3,200m run  from her sophomore through senior years. In her final season, she was part of the 13th-place 4x800m relay squad. As a senior, she also finished fifth at the regional in both the 1,600m and 3,200m, and fourth in the 4x400m and 4x800m relays. In other regional meets, she was fourth in the 3,200m and fifth in the 1,600m as a junior and fifth in the 3,200m and sixth in the 1,600m as a sophomore.

The 2025 MSU men will have to replace Justin Bland, Peyton Fairchild, Wes Grogan, Austin Montgomery, Kyler Stewart and Jacob Vogelpohl from a team that finished eighth at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships. The ladies will be without Megan Bush, Hope Harris, Lucy Singleton and all-conference performer Laikin Tarlton from an Eagle squad that placed seventh at the OVC Championships.
