BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University track and field teams welcome Elmhurst University and Millikin University to the Shirk Center for the third Titan Triangular of the indoor season Saturday, Feb. 13. The men will compete in the morning session, beginning at 10 a.m., followed by the women in the afternoon.

Due to state and local restrictions, as well as campus visitor policies, no spectators will be permitted at any indoor Illinois Wesleyan University sporting events at this time under the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin spectator policy. All CCIW members are fully focused on maintaining the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and campus communities.

Illinois Wesleyan's women checked in at No. 14 in the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Week Three Rating Index following the second Titan Triangular of the season.

Sophomore Addison Bendery (Chicago, Ill.-Loyola Academy) garnered CCIW Track Athlete of the Week honors for her performance at the meet, Feb. 6. Bendery won two events, including the 200m Dash (26.28), where she put up the best time in the conference and the fifth-best time in all of Division III. As leadoff of the 4x400 Relay, she added a first-place finish and helpeped the Titans to the eighth-best time in the nation.

Junior Rebekah Harden (Tinley Park, Ill.-Lincoln-Way North), who ran the final leg of the 4x400 Relay, won the 800m and Mile runs with times of 2:24.69 and 5:20.17, respectively. Harden holds the top 800m time in the CCIW, after crossing the finish line in 2:23.18 at the Titan's season-opener. Her mile time from last weekend is the second-ranked in the league.

Illinois Wesleyan's field athletes have accounted for the top performances in long jump and shot put. Junior Emma Helferich (Monticello, Ill.-Monticello) leads the CCIW in long jump with a mark of 5.40m, while senior Cora Wilkinson's (Verona, Ill.-Seneca Township) distance of 5.26m is second-best in the CCIW. Senior Ayana Blair (Wheeling, Ill.-Wheeling) holds nearly a one-meter advantage in the shot put with a throw of 13.05m. She is also fourth in the conference in weight throw (15.07m), while freshman Lauren Wong (Morton, Ill.-Morton) is ranked second in the triple jump with a distance of 11.27m.

Senior Zach Anderson (Algonquin, Ill.-Westminster Christian) tops the CCIW's shot put marks by over a full meter with a toss of 15.93m. His weight throw mark of 17.18m is second in the league, and just a tenth of a meter off the longest distance in the conference.
