2017TRACK & FIELDMEDIA GUIDE
WELCOME TO ILLINOIS COLLEGEOn behalf of the entire Illinois College community, it is my pleasure to welcome the student-athletes, coaches, parents and fans in attendance. We truly appreciate your support of Illinois College, the Midwest Conference and the NCAA Division III athletics.
We are extremely proud of our student-athletes at Illinois College. The Blueboys and Lady Blues strive for excellence on the playing field, as well as in the classroom and in the community. As a result, IC has continued to climb the ranks in the Midwest Conference’s All-Sports Standings, while increasing its number of academic all-conference awards and contributing to the vitality of the Jacksonville community.
We are also very proud of the athletic facilities at Illinois College. Through the College’s dedication to fostering competitive athletic programs, and the financial investment of generous supporters, IC boasts some of the finest athletic facilities in Division III sports.
Thank you for your enthusiastic and respectful support of all the competitive student-athletes. Please join me in wishing them the very best of luck. Go Blueboys and Lady Blues!
Barbara A. Farley, Ph.D. President Illinois College
New season, new student-athletes and new goals to achieve. Spring is a time for a fresh start and I look forward to seeing what these new things have to offer in 2017.
Please join me in the wonderful spring weather to cheer on the Blueboys and Lady Blues. This year we return a crew of dedicated student-athletes looking to put their mark on IC Athletics. This group of young men and women have been working hard to hone their craft and help IC Athletics soar up the rankings in the Midwest Conference. These strong men and women should make us all proud to be part of the Blueboy and Lady Blue family.
This is going to be an exciting year for the Blueboys and Lady Blues. I look forward to seeing you at the games!
