KENOSHA, Wis. – The Illinois Wesleyan University men's and women's track and field team had a successful first day of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Championships in Kenosha, Wis. Friday, Feb. 28 as the Titans turned in nine All-CCIW performances and two event wins in the 5,000m and the distance medley relay.

Senior Annalese Chudy (Libertyville, Ill.-Libertyville) cruised to a CCIW title in the women's 5,000m after a late push saw the senior clock a 18:28.76, six seconds ahead of the next closest competitor.

The women's distance medley relay quartet of senior Emma McGrath (Oak Lawn, Ill.-Oak Lawn), juniors Jordynn Griffin (Bloomington, Ill.-Normal Community) and Adriana Crabtree (Normal, Ill.-University High), and freshman Alex Reinhart (Normal, Ill.-Normal West) ran away with the CCIW title for the second straight year after posting a time of 12:16.98. The squad had a 20-second cushion ahead of the runner-up team and posted the eighth fastest time in program history.

The Titans kicked off the day on the men's side with two early All-CCIW finishes in its men's pole vaulting duo of junior Isaac Whitaker (Bloomington, Ill.-Central Catholic) and freshman Sam Churchill (Seneca, Ill.-Seneca).

Senior Carlyssa King (Decatur, Ill.-Forsyth-Maroa) turned in a 15.69m (51'6") throw in the women's weight throw to finish in third place and claim All-CCIW honors. Senior Nick Fisch (Woodridge, Ill.-Montini Catholic) snagged the final All-CCIW spot in the men's 5,000m, as he posted a 15:25.10 time for eighth place.

The IWU men's long jump group saw three advance to finals on Friday with junior Jahari Scott (Lake Bluff, Ill.-Lake Forest) leading the field. Scott ultimately finished in second with the second-best mark in program history at 6.99m (22'11.25"), while sophomore Carson Green (Centralia, Ill.-Centralia) finished fifth (6.71m, 22'2.5") and freshman Nick Walker (Metamora, Ill.-Metamora) took sixth (6.69m, 21'11'5") for three All-CCIW selections.
