DeYoung Named Little State Outstanding Field Athlete

Wabash College senior Peter DeYoung (Evansville, IN/Evansville Bosse) took first place in the high jump and fourth in the triple jump, earning the Men's Outstanding Field Performer Award at the 98th Annual Indiana Little State Track and Field Championships, held Saturday at Indiana Wesleyan University. Wabash finished 11th out of 19 teams.

DeYoung cleared 6-8 to take first in the high jump and reach the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championship provisional qualifying height. He earned All-American honors at the Indoor Championships earlier this year after finishing fourth in the nation in the high jump. DeYoung's leap of 13.46 meters in the triple jump was good enough for fourth place, less than a half a meter away from the winning jump.

Senior Adam Futscher (Cincinnati, OH/Sycamore) took third in the javelin throw with an effor of 50.29 meters. Sophomore Jason Lloyd (Bolingbrook, IL/Hales Franciscan) ran a personal-best time of 50.63 in the 400-meter dash to finish sixth overall.

Wabash scored 27 points as a team in meet, which features competitors from nearly every NCAA Division II and III, and NAIA school in the state. The University of Indianapolis won the team championship with 107 points.

Wabash will participate in the Millikin Invitational on Saturday, April 19.
