April 4, 2005 Bilbruck, Weeden Set School Records         Dustin Bilbruck (Gillespie) and Lee Weeden (Ferguson, Mo.) both set school records and set NCAA provisional qualifying marks with their performances at the Gatorade Classic in Cape Girardeau, Mo.         “It was a real good javelin competition, and Dustin was a real competitor, winning the meet on his very last throw,” said Coach David Astrauskas. Bilbruck tossed the javelin 203 feet, 3 inches (61.95 meters).         Weeden, who was an All-American during the indoor season in the weight throw, threw for a new school record with a toss of 53-10.25 (16.41 meters).         “He will need a better throw to make the national cut, and we will continue to work on his technique in the coming weeks to better his performances in the shot put.” said Astrauskas.         Although the event was not scored for non-NCAA Division I schools, the Cougars would have scored well at the meet with several top-notch finishes.         Ryan Boyll (Normal) placed second in the 5,000-meter run at 15:24.25.         Kyle Rose (Kankakee) and Jeff Fearday (Teutopolis) placed second and third place in the 400-meter dash with times of 48.81 and 49.09.         Jonathan Bannister (Plano, Texas) finished second in the 400-meter hurdles in a time of 54.18.         Phil Freimuth (Effingham) took third in the high jump with a leap of 6-6.         Anthony Weber (Marengo) placed second in the pole vault at 15-6.         -siue cougars-
