BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Four All-American finishes and three First Team distinctions highlighted the Illinois Wesleyan University track & field team's time at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships in Birmingham, Ala. Saturday, March 14.

Senior Evan Lowder (Bloomington, Ill.-Normal Community) had an indoor personal-best and set a new College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin record in the 400m race. Lowder tied for third with a time of 47.52, tying Wittenberg's Cameron Elliot for third-place. Lowder used a strong kick over the final 200m, clocking a 21.96 to pull into a share of third.

Junior Imani Ogunribido (Hanover Park, Ill.-Lake Park) posted a third-place finish in the women's triple jump. Ogunribido leaped 12.26m out of the gate to earn First Team All-American status. Ogunribido's third-place finish is her best at the indoor championships, as the podium finish marks the first First Team All-American finish of her indoor career.

Junior Mackenzie Huber (Lombard, Ill.-Glenbard East) bolted to a fourth-place finish in the 800m, earning the first All-American distinction of her career. Huber clocked in with a time of 2:10.85, a near personal-best, to take fourth in the event. Huber's finish marked the highest by a Titan in the indoor 800m since Tara Clemens won the event in 2013.

Senior Adriana Crabtree (Normal, Ill.-University High) rounded out the day with a 14th-place finish in a tough 3000m race, finishing with a time of 9:49.62. Crabtree came out strong, but contact midway through the race resulted in the loss of a shoe, forcing Crabtree to run on uneven feet the rest of the race. Crabtree's Second Team All-American honor is her third total All-American finish of her track & field career.

The Titans look forward to the outdoor season, beginning Friday-Saturday, March 20-21 at the TCU Alumni Invite in Fort Worth, Texas.
