February 14, 2005 DePauw Invitational Results 2005 Indoor Performance List Men’s Track Glides to Win at DePauw The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men’s indoor track team added an item to its already impressive resume, winning the DePauw Invitational on Saturday. In all, the Cougars set four meet records. “I felt that we had a chance to win the meet, but it took a total team effort to go in there and get it done,” said SIUE track coach Ben Beyers. Kyle Rose (Kankakee) set school record at 200 meters with a time of 22.30, breaking the old mark by three-tenths of a second. Rose also was a double winner, placing first at 400 meters with a time of 49.18. That mark puts him on the provisional qualifying list for the NCAA Division II Championships. “Kyle really came out and made a statement,” said Beyers. “He’s certainly on the right path, and the best is definitely yet to come.” SIUE’s Jonathan Bannister (Plano, Texas) placed second in the 400 meters at 49.28. Brian Taghon (East Moline) finished first in both the mile and the 3,000-meter run. Taghon recorded a time of 8:31.68 in the 3,000 and 4:15.70 the mile. His mile time provisionally qualifies him for the championships. “Brian really looked super in the mile,” said Beyers. “He came out and ran a very strong race right from the start.” The men’s 4x200 meter relay team composed of Rose, Jeff Fearday (Teutopolis), Jason Hall (Chicago), and Ryan Nowakowski (Rochester) broke the school-record with a time of 1:29.89. Lee Weeden (Ferguson, Mo.) continued his successful indoor season, finishing first in the weight throw and the shot put. Weeden’s throw on Saturday in the shot put of 16.01 meters (52 feet, 6.5 inches) adds him to the provisional qualifiying list for the NCAA championships in both events. -siue cougars- |
