LAST TIME OUT The Orange and Blue are coming off of a very successful weekend in California where they set 12 personal-best performances across the Mt. SAC Relays, Bryan Clay Invite and Beach Invite. David Kendziera led the team with event titles in the 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles, while Jon Davis (5,000m) and Jesse Reiser (1500m) set times that rank amongst the top-10 in Illinois history. ILLINI TO WATCH 110m Hurdles // David Kendziera and Jonathan Wells One of the best hurdlers in the country, David Kendziera currently ranks among the top-10 in both the 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles. Having won six of his seven races this season, Leading the conference in both events, Kendziera was named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week on Wednesday (4/19) following his sweep of the two hurdles events at Mt. SAC Relays, including a season-best time of 50.17 in the 400m hurdles. Jonathan Wells will also compete in the event as he continues to develop in the multi events. Jumps // Jonathan Wells In addition to the 100m hurdles, Wells will compete in both the high jump and long jump on Saturday. An All-American in the vertical jump, Wells is yet to compete in the event since winning the indoor Big Ten title back in February and holds a personal-best mark of 7’1.5” (2.17m) outdoors. In the long jump, Wells set a new personal-record in the event on his way to taking eighth in the heptathlon at NCAA Championships, leaping 24’5” (7.45m). In his only outdoor competition in the horizontal jumps this season, Wells marked 23’8” (7.21m) at Eastern Illinois at the beginning of this month. 4x100m Relay // Mo Maat, Josh Eiker, Devin Quinn, Joe Haight and Cole Henderson With Cole Henderson taking the spot of Mo Maat last week at the Mt. SAC Relays, the Illini matched their season-best time with a 39.68 showing last Saturday. Ranking fifth in the Big Ten so far this season, the Illini will look to drop their time on their home track before competing at Drake Relays next week. 800m // Konrad Eiring After missing the 2017 indoor season, Konrad Eiring has quickly worked his way back to where he left off at the end of his freshman season last year. After clocking 1:52 in each of his first two races this season, the Illini sophomore dropped two seconds off of his time out in California last week. Setting a new personal-record time of 1:50.41 at 2017 University of Illinois Men’s Track & Field

MIKE TURK
HEAD COACH 6TH SEASON (11TH OVERALL) Mike Turk is entering his sixth season at the helm of the Fighting Illini, and 11th overall. Since taking over as head coach following a last place finish at Big Ten Championships in 2010, Turk has the led the Illini back to the top of the Big Ten, highlighted by four Big Ten runner-up finishes and the 2015 Outdoor Big Ten Championship.

During the four seasons, Turk guided Nick Brown to All-American honors in both the long jump and triple jump and Greg Shroka in the high jump. Turk builds his program around a philosophy that is based on four core values - unity, integrity, transparency and foucs - that aim to fulfill the University of Illinois’ mission to “transform lives and serve society by mentoring excellence and cultivating leaders.” These core values are met through a process oriented approach that is executed through engaging relationships and continual personal growth. In addition, Turk and his staff collaborate with the I-Perform initiative that seeks to improve student-athlete performance and well-being. I-Perform focuses on the “standardization of training philosophy, a comprehensive wellness plan and the analysis of current sports science literature and technology to enhance the training process.” Turk is a USATF Level II certified coach in the jumps and throws and as an instructor.

LAST TIME OUT The Orange and Blue are coming off of a very successful weekend in California where they set 12 personal-best performances across the Mt. SAC Relays, Bryan Clay Invite and Beach Invite. David Kendziera led the team with event titles in the 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles, while Jon Davis (5,000m) and Jesse Reiser (1500m) set times that rank amongst the top-10 in Illinois history. ILLINI TO WATCH 110m Hurdles // David Kendziera and Jonathan Wells One of the best hurdlers in the country, David Kendziera currently ranks among the top-10 in both the 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles. Having won six of his seven races this season, Leading the conference in both events, Kendziera was named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week on Wednesday (4/19) following his sweep of the two hurdles events at Mt. SAC Relays, including a season-best time of 50.17 in the 400m hurdles. Jonathan Wells will also compete in the event as he continues to develop in the multi events. Jumps // Jonathan Wells In addition to the 100m hurdles, Wells will compete in both the high jump and long jump on Saturday. An All-American in the vertical jump, Wells is yet to compete in the event since winning the indoor Big Ten title back in February and holds a personal-best mark of 7’1.5” (2.17m) outdoors. In the long jump, Wells set a new personal-record in the event on his way to taking eighth in the heptathlon at NCAA Championships, leaping 24’5” (7.45m). In his only outdoor competition in the horizontal jumps this season, Wells marked 23’8” (7.21m) at Eastern Illinois at the beginning of this month. 4x100m Relay // Mo Maat, Josh Eiker, Devin Quinn, Joe Haight and Cole Henderson With Cole Henderson taking the spot of Mo Maat last week at the Mt. SAC Relays, the Illini matched their season-best time with a 39.68 showing last Saturday. Ranking fifth in the Big Ten so far this season, the Illini will look to drop their time on their home track before competing at Drake Relays next week. 800m // Konrad Eiring After missing the 2017 indoor season, Konrad Eiring has quickly worked his way back to where he left off at the end of his freshman season last year. After clocking 1:52 in each of his first two races this season, the Illini sophomore dropped two seconds off of his time out in California last week. Setting a new personal-record time of 1:50.41 at 2017 University of Illinois Men’s Track & Field

MIKE TURK
HEAD COACH 6TH SEASON (11TH OVERALL) Mike Turk is entering his sixth season at the helm of the Fighting Illini, and 11th overall. Since taking over as head coach following a last place finish at Big Ten Championships in 2010, Turk has the led the Illini back to the top of the Big Ten, highlighted by four Big Ten runner-up finishes and the 2015 Outdoor Big Ten Championship.

During the four seasons, Turk guided Nick Brown to All-American honors in both the long jump and triple jump and Greg Shroka in the high jump. Turk builds his program around a philosophy that is based on four core values - unity, integrity, transparency and foucs - that aim to fulfill the University of Illinois’ mission to “transform lives and serve society by mentoring excellence and cultivating leaders.” These core values are met through a process oriented approach that is executed through engaging relationships and continual personal growth. In addition, Turk and his staff collaborate with the I-Perform initiative that seeks to improve student-athlete performance and well-being. I-Perform focuses on the “standardization of training philosophy, a comprehensive wellness plan and the analysis of current sports science literature and technology to enhance the training process.” Turk is a USATF Level II certified coach in the jumps and throws and as an instructor.
