AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's and women's track and field teams will be represented in a combined four events at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Randal Tyson Track Center on the University of Arkansas campus will host the event.
Ed Kemboi, Cameron Ostrowski and Katy Moen will compete in the 800-meter run, high jump and 3,000-meter run, respectively, while a combination of Kemboi, Derek Jones, Patrick Peterson, Brian Biekert, Cameron DeLago and Brandon Barnes will take the track in the distance medley for the Cyclones.
A three-time All-America honoree (2011, 2012 and 2014) in the 800-meter run, Kemboi ranks first in the nation with a time of 1:46.09 set at the Iowa State Classic. Kemboi ran to first-team All-America honors during last year's championship meet, clocking a time of 1:48.54 in a runner-up effort.
Kemboi is coming off a historic performance at the 2015 Big 12 Indoor Championships, earning conference titles in the 800-meter and 1000-meter runs, and becoming the first athlete to be crowned champion in both events in back-to-back years. In addition to a national title, Kemboi will be chasing his own school record of 1:45.98 set during last year's ISU Classic.
Another Cyclone All-America honoree, Ostrowski ranks 11th nationally in the high jump, clearing a mark of 7' 3” (2.21m) at the Iowa State Classic. During the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships, Ostrowski posted a 6' 10.75” (2.10m) performance, earning a 13th-place finish en route to All-America recognition.
The two-time All-Big 12 award winner recorded a career best 7' 3.75” (2.23m) at the 2014 Big 12 Indoor Championships, clinching a conference title and ranking the redshirt senior second on Iowa State's all-time top-performers list.
On the women's side, Moen captured a bid to the NCAA Indoor Championships with a gutsy performance at the Big 12 Indoor Championships, crossing the finish line in a personal best time of 9:08.69 in the 3,000-meter run. The redshirt senior from Fairbank, Iowa currently ranks 17th nationally and sits fourth on Iowa State's all-time top-performers list in the event.
In a school record time of 9:31.85, the distance medley team of Kemboi, Jones, Peterson and Biekert qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships at the Alex Wilson Invitational, ranking the crew 11th in the nation.
The relay squad of Kemboi, Jones, Peterson and DeLago clocked Iowa State's then-school record time of 9:34.36 – which stood for just three weeks – at the Razorback Invitational this season. The men's distance relay team for this weekend is yet to be determined, but a combination of Kemboi, Jones, Peterson, Biekert, DeLago and Barnes will compete for Iowa State.
The 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships will broadcast on ESPN3, with coverage starting at 6:50 p.m. CT on Friday, March 13 and 5:50 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 14. Live results will be available online, while Iowa State coverage and updates will be provided on the @CycloneTrackXC Twitter feed.
