Although just three members of the Illinois Track Club competed in the Illinois Twilight hosted by our own university, 2 club records went down. The first race of the day for ITC was the 110m hurdles, where Allen Terry held his own in his heat and recorded a zooming time of 15.17, a new club record by over half a second. Senior Jayme Roberts looked to build off a 400m PR last weekend in Bloomington (51.36s), but came up just short with his still fast 51.69s.
Last time Senior Steven Decker competed in an open 800m during a meet hosted by UIUC, it was indoors and he missed club legend Ryan Jorgensen”s time by .09s. Saturday was different, as he broke Jorgensen”s more impressive outdoor record by .02s, running his 800m in 1:53.91, good for 10th in the meet.
A special thanks go to all the club members who volunteered at the meet. We cannot stress enough the importance of helping out the varsity program because they do so much for us.
