LAST TIME OUT Split across three meets, the Illini recorded five event titles, as David Kendziera won the 110m hurdles competition at the Texas Relays, while Matsen Dziedzic (hammer throw), Jacob LaRocca (pole vault, Kenneth Allen (400m) and Dylan Lafond (1500m) won events at the EIU Big Blue Classic. Kendziera’s 110m hurdles time ranks second in NCAA Division I, while Matsen Dziedzic won the event with a personal-record throw of 195’0” (59.44m) that ranks second in Illinois history. ILLINI COMPETITIONS TO WATCH 400m Hurdles // David Kendziera Final - Saturday @ 4:30pm David Kendziera further made his claim for one of the top hurdlers in the country last weekend, as the redshirt junior set top-10 times in NCAA Division I at Texas Relays last weekend. Kendziera won the 110m hurdles with the second-best time in the country, 13.60, and took fourth in the 400m hurdles with a time of 50.35 that ranks eighth in the country. A 2016 Olympic Trials qualifier in the 400m hurdles, Kendziera was a First Team All-American in the event as a sophomore in 2015. 4x100m Relay // Mo Maat, Josh Eiker, Devin Quinn and Joe Haight Final - Saturday @ 1:30pm The sprint relay team opened the season with their fastest time to date, a 39.68 performance at the UNLV Invite, which ranks 20th in NCAA Division I so far this season. Last weekend, the four Illini took sixth at the 90th Texas Relay, again clocking a sub-40 time in prelims (39.91) and coming just shy in the final (40.02). Comprised of a junior, two sophomores and a freshman, the young group has the potential for continued growth throughout the season. Hammer Throw // Matsen Dziedzic Final // Friday @ 3:00 p.m. (30 minutes following women’s hammer throw) Matsen Dziedzic is coming off a lifetime best throw of 195’0” (59.44m) to win the event last weekend at the Eastern Illinois Big Blue Classic. The mark moved the junior thrower from eighth to fourth on the program’s all-time list. However, it’s his competitiveness that has impressed Coach Turk the most in recent weeks, as he sees Dziedzic putting together good series and ending with his best throw of the competition. Dziedzic has won both hammer throws on his last attempt this outdoor season. UP NEXT Illinois will again compete across three meets, as the team heads to California next week for the Mt. SAC Relays, Beach Invite and Bryan Clay Invite. The Illini will compete at Mt. SAC Relays April 13-15, while contesting events at the Beach and Bryan Clay Invites on Friday, April 14. 2017 University of Illinois Men’s Track & Field
DAVID KENDZIERA LEADS BIG TEN HURDLERS Fighting Illini redshirt junior David Kendziera holds the fastest conference times in both the 110m hurdles (13.60) and 400m hurdles (50.35) after lowering his time in both events at the Texas Relays. Also ranked amongst the Big Ten’s best, Jon Davis set the second-fastest 1500m time in the Big Ten (3:45.64) at Stanford last weekend, while Devin Quinn (100m/10.43), 4x100m relay (39.68) each rank third. In total, the Illini claim 16 performances that rank in the Big Ten’s top-10. FOUR ILLINI NATIONALLY RANKED IN TOP-25 After spending the first three weeks of the outdoor season holding the fastest 110m hurdles time in the country, David Kendziera currently ranks second in the country behind Kentucky’s Nick Anderson who timed 13.59 at the Florida Relays. The Illini hurdler also ranks in the top-10 of the 400m hurdles, staking claim to the eighth fastest time in the nation with a 50.35 performance at the Texas Relays. The 4x100m relay ranks 17th with a time of 39.68, while Devin Quinn owns the 20th-fastest 100m dash with a time of 10.43. KENDZIERA WINS AT TEXAS RELAYS, DZIEDZIC IMPRESSES AT EIU David Kendziera clocked the second-fastest 110m hurdles time in NCAA Division thus far, a 13.60 showing in the final, to win the event at the 90th running of the Texas Relays. Kendziera edged USC’s Marquis Morris at the line by 0.01 seconds to win the event, while also taking fourth in the 400m hurdles. Back in the state of Illinois, Matsen Dziedzic set a 10-foot personal-record heave in the hammer throw to win the event. The throw of 195’0” (59.44m) moves him into fourth place on Illinois’ all-time list. KENDZIERA NAMED BIG TEN TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Fighting Illini hurdler David Kendziera was named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week by the Big Ten office following the opening week of the outdoor season. The redshirt junior won both the 110m hurdles and the 400m hurdles at the UNLV Invite on March 18 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kendziera’s time of 13.73 in the 110m hurdles leads NCAA Division I through the first week of the season. SPRINTS AND HURDLES DOMINATE AT UNLV INVITE The Fighting Illini men’s track and field team began outdoor competition with nine event titles at the UNLV Invite on March 18, including a sweep of the sprints and hurdles events. David Kendziera and Devin Quinn both contributed two event titles to lead the Illini and the 4x100m relay team clocked a sub-40 time in their season debut. The Illini placed first in the eight-team competition, scoring 174 points. KENDZIERA, WELLS EARN FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICA HONORS AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS David Kendziera placed fourth in the 60m hurdles and Jonathan Wells broke his own Illinois school record in the heptathlon, as both Illini earned First Team All-America honors at 2017 NCAA Indoor Championships. It’s Kendziera’s fourth All-America honor, while Wells’ takes home his third All-America accolade. The Illini placed 30th overall in the 62-team 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. Overall, Turk has accumulated more than 30 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level, including 26 years in NCAA Division I. Prior to taking over as head coach in 2010, Turk served as an assistant on Illinois’ staff for four seasons, beginning in 2006. 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. He is a part of the USATF Coaches Education Level II staff and helped contribute to the USATF Level II Throws curriculum. Turk is a popular clinician and has spoken at numerous clinics throughout the country. He has also researched and authored several articles on coaching literature.

LAST TIME OUT Split across three meets, the Illini recorded five event titles, as David Kendziera won the 110m hurdles competition at the Texas Relays, while Matsen Dziedzic (hammer throw), Jacob LaRocca (pole vault, Kenneth Allen (400m) and Dylan Lafond (1500m) won events at the EIU Big Blue Classic. Kendziera’s 110m hurdles time ranks second in NCAA Division I, while Matsen Dziedzic won the event with a personal-record throw of 195’0” (59.44m) that ranks second in Illinois history. ILLINI COMPETITIONS TO WATCH 400m Hurdles // David Kendziera Final - Saturday @ 4:30pm David Kendziera further made his claim for one of the top hurdlers in the country last weekend, as the redshirt junior set top-10 times in NCAA Division I at Texas Relays last weekend. Kendziera won the 110m hurdles with the second-best time in the country, 13.60, and took fourth in the 400m hurdles with a time of 50.35 that ranks eighth in the country. A 2016 Olympic Trials qualifier in the 400m hurdles, Kendziera was a First Team All-American in the event as a sophomore in 2015. 4x100m Relay // Mo Maat, Josh Eiker, Devin Quinn and Joe Haight Final - Saturday @ 1:30pm The sprint relay team opened the season with their fastest time to date, a 39.68 performance at the UNLV Invite, which ranks 20th in NCAA Division I so far this season. Last weekend, the four Illini took sixth at the 90th Texas Relay, again clocking a sub-40 time in prelims (39.91) and coming just shy in the final (40.02). Comprised of a junior, two sophomores and a freshman, the young group has the potential for continued growth throughout the season. Hammer Throw // Matsen Dziedzic Final // Friday @ 3:00 p.m. (30 minutes following women’s hammer throw) Matsen Dziedzic is coming off a lifetime best throw of 195’0” (59.44m) to win the event last weekend at the Eastern Illinois Big Blue Classic. The mark moved the junior thrower from eighth to fourth on the program’s all-time list. However, it’s his competitiveness that has impressed Coach Turk the most in recent weeks, as he sees Dziedzic putting together good series and ending with his best throw of the competition. Dziedzic has won both hammer throws on his last attempt this outdoor season. UP NEXT Illinois will again compete across three meets, as the team heads to California next week for the Mt. SAC Relays, Beach Invite and Bryan Clay Invite. The Illini will compete at Mt. SAC Relays April 13-15, while contesting events at the Beach and Bryan Clay Invites on Friday, April 14. 2017 University of Illinois Men’s Track & Field

In total, the Illini claim 16 performances that rank in the Big Ten’s top-10. FOUR ILLINI NATIONALLY RANKED IN TOP-25 After spending the first three weeks of the outdoor season holding the fastest 110m hurdles time in the country, David Kendziera currently ranks second in the country behind Kentucky’s Nick Anderson who timed 13.59 at the Florida Relays.

The 4x100m relay ranks 17th with a time of 39.68, while Devin Quinn owns the 20th-fastest 100m dash with a time of 10.43.

Back in the state of Illinois, Matsen Dziedzic set a 10-foot personal-record heave in the hammer throw to win the event. The throw of 195’0” (59.44m) moves him into fourth place on Illinois’ all-time list. KENDZIERA NAMED BIG TEN TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Fighting Illini hurdler David Kendziera was named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week by the Big Ten office following the opening week of the outdoor season. The redshirt junior won both the 110m hurdles and the 400m hurdles at the UNLV Invite on March 18 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

SPRINTS AND HURDLES DOMINATE AT UNLV INVITE The Fighting Illini men’s track and field team began outdoor competition with nine event titles at the UNLV Invite on March 18, including a sweep of the sprints and hurdles events. David Kendziera and Devin Quinn both contributed two event titles to lead the Illini and the 4x100m relay team clocked a sub-40 time in their season debut. The Illini placed first in the eight-team competition, scoring 174 points. KENDZIERA, WELLS EARN FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICA HONORS AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS David Kendziera placed fourth in the 60m hurdles and Jonathan Wells broke his own Illinois school record in the heptathlon, as both Illini earned First Team All-America honors at 2017 NCAA Indoor Championships.

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. Overall, Turk has accumulated more than 30 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level, including 26 years in NCAA Division I. Prior to taking over as head coach in 2010, Turk served as an assistant on Illinois’ staff for four seasons, beginning in 2006. 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. He is a part of the USATF Coaches Education Level II staff and helped contribute to the USATF Level II Throws curriculum. Turk is a popular clinician and has spoken at numerous clinics throughout the country. He has also researched and authored several articles on coaching literature.
