BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University men's and women's track and field teams will have four representatives this weekend, Friday-Saturday, March 13-14, at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field National Championships in Birmingham, Ala. Action from the Birmingham Crossplex will commence with preliminaries on Friday.

Seniors Evan Lowder (Bloomington, Ill.-Normal Community) and Adriana Crabtree (Normal, Ill.-University High) along with juniors Imani Ogunribido (Hanover Park, Ill.-Lake Park) and Mackenzie Huber (Lombard, Ill.-Glenbard East) will represent the Titans on the national stage this weekend. The four student-athletes recorded one of the 20 best marks in Division III this season in their respective events to punch their ticket to the national championship.

Lowder is set to make his third career indoor championship appearance and looks to add to his four career All-American honors. A College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin champion in the men's indoor 400m, Lowder also holds the best time in the league all-time in the event.

Crabtree will make her second career indoor championship appearance and her first in the women's 3000m. A First-Team All-American during the 2025 cross country season, Crabtree has already set the program and all-time CCIW record in the 3000m this season as she searches for her first First-Team All-American accolades at the indoor championships.

Ogunribido has led the Division III ranks in the women's triple jump throughout the season, as her mark of 12.53m set at the Titan First Chance meet, Friday, Dec. 5 broke the program and league's all-time record. Ogunribido would go on to break her own record at the Friday Night Tri, Feb. 20, with a 12.63m jump. Ogunribido's record-breaking leap is the best in Division III this season by over a foot.

Huber is set to make her inaugural championship appearance in the women's 800m. A CCIW champion a few weeks ago, Huber has climbed into the record books in her first indoor season. Owner of the third-fastest time in program history in the 800m, Huber ran 2:12.37 at the Grand Valley State University Big Meet Friday, Feb. 13.

Preliminaries are scheduled for Friday, March 13, with men's 400m prelims to commence at 3:25 p.m. and women's 800m prelims at 3:45 p.m. Ogunribido will be the first Titan to begin Saturday, March 14, with triple jump beginning at 2 p.m. Crabtree's 3000m race will start at 5:35 p.m. Finals of the men's 400m and women's 800m are also scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
