ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Illinois Wesleyan University men's and women's track and field capped off the NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships with three All-American finishes Saturday, March 15 in Rochester, N.Y. as junior Evan Lowder (Bloomington, Ill.-Normal Community) climbed the podium with first team honors in the 400m while sophomore Imani Ogunribido (Hanover Park, Ill.-Lake Park) and freshman Nick Walker (Metamora, Ill.-Metamora) claimed second team distinction in the women's triple jump and men's high jump, respectively.

Lowder closed out the day for the Green and White in the 400m, turning in a 48.59 second effort for eighth place. The junior became only the second Titan in program history to climb the podium in the indoor 400m, while earning his third All-America accolade of his career.

Ogunribido started the triple jump competition off with an 11.39m (39'7.75") jump. She went on to better her day's mark twice more with her third jump of 12.08m (39'7.75") earning her a 10th-place finish.

Walker was just one of four freshmen in the men's high jump field. The Metamora, Ill. accomplished the difficult feat of matching his career-best mark of 2.05m (6'8.75") on his third attempt to place 12th overall in his NCAA debut.

The Titans now shift their attention to the outdoor season that kicks off Saturday, March 29 with a pair of meets, the Redbird Challenge at Illinois State University and the Millikin Big Blue Alumni Invite at Millikin University.
