Track and Field Honors All-Americans
        Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men's indoor track team garnered six All-Americans finishing in 19th place at the NCAA Championships in Boston over the weekend.
        "Looking at our results, I think it's safe to say that this is the most successful indoor season for the track teams in school history," said SIUE track coach Ben Beyers.
        Kyle Rose (Plano, Texas) finished sixth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 48.92.
        "Kyle found the right attitude when he realized that he had nothing to lose at this meet," said Beyers. "Nobody outside our team was really looking for him to make finals or possibly earn All-American honors. He was one of two freshman who even qualified for the national meet, so that just speaks volumes as to what potential Kyle has."
        Lee Weeden (Ferguson, Mo.) led the charge in the weight throw with a toss of 59 feet, 1.5 inches (18.02 meters) for seventh place.
        "Coming into the season Lee set a goal for himself. He wanted to be a Division II All-American," said SIUE track coach David Astrauskas. "It is always nice to see an athlete reach their goals. We've practiced for this event for a long time, having practiced the weight throw during the summer months in preparation for Boston."
        The 1,600-meter relay team composed of Rose, Jonathan Bannister (Plano, Texas), Ryan Nowakowski (Rochester) and Jeff Fearday (Teutopolis), set the school record by nearly two seconds with a fourth place time of 3:14.78.
        "The men's team ran a tremendous race," said Beyers. "I think the thing that stands out to everyone is that the team was just a hair over a second away from winning the entire event. We're looking to some exciting outdoor season performances by this team."
        The outdoor season will begin for the Cougars on Apr. 2 with the Southeast Missouri State Gatorade Classic in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
        "Hopefully all of the success we had indoors will roll right in to outdoors," said Astrauskas. "We will have even more athletes competing at the outdoor championships."
