Student charged with attempted sexual abuse banned from campus BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

SIU student James Janowski was banned from campus Wednesday, two weeks after he was arrested on charges of battery and attempted sexual assault involving another student.

The university issued a May 4 letter informing Janowski, a

freshman studying marketing, he is no longer allowed to be on campus property, according to information obtained by the Daily Egyptian through a Freedom of Information Act request. The suspension is listed as an interim action, and a hearing date for review has not been scheduled as of Monday.

Circumstances surrounding the suspension were not specified by university officials, but the university can discipline any student who violates the Student Conduct Code, which includes breaking local laws.

Calls to Lori Stettler, interim vice chancellor of student affairs, and Chad Trisler, director of student rights and responsibilities, went

unreturned as of Monday evening.

Police began investigating the case following a complaint of an April 1 incident in the 1100 block of East Grand Avenue, according to a Carbondale police news release.

The suspect allegedly battered and attempted to sexually abuse an acquaintance, police said.

More than three out of four sexual assaults that take place on SIU property happen in the same rooms students sleep at night.

Sixty-two percent of sexual assault claims reported to SIU police occurred in East Campus housing, including Wall and Grand Apartments and University Hall, according to a review of reports made to campus police between 2010 and 2015. Sixteen percent were reported in West Campus housing, and 9 percent in non-housing locations, according to Freedom of Information Act request documents obtained by the Daily Egyptian.

Lori Stettler, vice chancellor for student affairs, attributes that difference

in numbers to population.

“West Campus houses 1,200 students, where as East Campus houses over 2,300 students … if you add in Wall and Grand and U-Hall, you’re talking about over 3,000 students,” she said. “That’s about a 3-to-1 ratio, so that kind of does make sense.”

Clery Compliance Sgt. Chad Beights, who has been an SIU police officer for 11 years, said the majority of reports taken by his department are situations in which the victim and accused offender knew each other beforehand.

“We can do as much as we can to protect you when you’re out walking around, but once you have invited somebody back to your room, or you go into someone else’s

room, I can’t protect you once that door closes,” he said. “When you are behind that closed door with that individual by yourself, you are the only one that can protect yourself.”

Reported sexual assaults on campus made to SIU police Of the 45 assaults reported to campus police from 2010 to 2015, 55 percent occurred between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

“Our patrol officers see a lot of people get carried home, a lot of that is friends carrying each other home,” Beights said. “That doesn’t mean the night is going to end in an assault. But the level of incapacitation, and the ability to bring yourself home is diminished quite a bit on the weekends.”

The SIU Student Conduct Code

“We can do as much as we can to protect you when you’re out walking around, but once you have invited somebody back to your room, or you go into someone else’s room, I can’t protect you once that door closes.”

- Sgt. Chad Beights Clery Compliance

section 1.7.14 states: “To give consent, a person must be awake, of legal age, and have the capacity to reasonably understand the nature of his/her actions. Consent cannot be given

by an individual who is mentally or physically incapacitated through the effect of drugs, alcohol or other intoxicants or for any other reason.”

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Joshua Buchheit, of Buncombe, practices rhythms with the Southern Illinois West African Drum Ensemble, also known as S.I.W.A.D.E., on Monday at Gaia House Interfaith Center in Carbondale. Buccheit, an SIU alumnus, has been playing with the band for 14 years and said the group practices between two and three hours each week. “You don’t want to think about it too much,” Buccheit said. “It’s about the rhythm. … When you’re playing, the drums are talking to each other, like in conversation. One drum isn’t more important than another. It’s very repetitive, almost like a circular motion when you’re playing.”

SIU clinic, students bring awareness to mental health DIAMOND JONES | DAILY EGYPTIAN

SIU's Clinical Center is promoting Hearing and Speech and Mental Illness Awareness Month to inform people of the different specializations and prevention of communication disorders.

The Clinical Center, which was founded by former SIU President Delyte Morris in 1958, provides services to the community and trains professionals for work in psychological, educational, speech and language services.

Sarah Vadnais, a graduate assistant in physiological services, said clients take an assessment to help clinicians diagnose what psychological disorder they are dealing with. She said these assessments help assistants create treatments for clients.

"There’s the anxiety of the unknown that holds people back and not knowing what therapy looks like," Vadnais said.

"Validating and educating these clients and letting them know they’re not alone is powerful."

But the clients aren't the only ones who gain from the service.

"When our students leave here, they go off to hospitals, rehab centers, schools and private clinics where the feedback of their education and training is highly positive," said Diane Muzio, speech and language coordinator of the clinic.

Muzio said the graduate students involved in this program are exposed to the best practices available that deal with many problems including, stuttering, receptive and expressive language, swallowing and articulation.

Colleen Horan, a master's student in communication disorders and science from Chicago, is also one of the speech and language graduate assistants.

"It’s always important to create awareness and reach out to people who may be struggling with something they're unaware of," said Horan, who received a bachelor's degree in speech and hearing sciences from Indiana University in 2011.

Hospital in Chicago this summer.

Vadnais, who is pursuing a career as a child clinical neuropsychologist, said she has a cousin with ADHD. "Everyone deals with tough situations in their life and it’s really beneficial for someone to have support," Vadnais said.

Client or clinician, Holly Cormier, director of the center, wants to use this month as a way to inform people of the services available.

"For some people, they may not come from a culture of acknowledging their issues," Cormier said. "Information is always changing and we want to try and improve and grow therapy with access to support."

“It’s always important to create awareness and reach out to people who may be struggling with something they’re unaware of.”

Horan said her sister, who has autism, is her reason for going into this field. She has committed to 400 hours of work in the clinical center, exams and undergraduate courses and that helped her earn a highly selective internship at North Shore

Mercury on a Monday

Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSuyko_DE Harry Treece, of Carbondale, looks through a telescope Monday during the Transit of Mercury Public Astronomy Observation on the roof of Neckers Building. Treece, who previously worked in information technology at SIU, said he works closely with the physics department and the Astronomical Association of Southern Illinois to put on astronomy observations every month. “What’s going on here is a transit of Mercury across the face of the sun,” Treece said. “Mercury and Venus are the only two planets we can see between us and the sun because their orbits are closer to the sun than ours.” He said Mercury can be seen in the morning and evening skies during most of the year. “I think some of the transits [when a planet passes between the Earth and sun] are the most exciting things I’ve seen so far.” He said his interest in space started in grade school. “Looking at all the vastness in the night sky and all the beautiful things that are out there — nebulas, clusters of stars — it’s just amazing,” Treece said.

SIUE students say ‘microaggressions’ happen every day ELIZABETH DONALD Belleville News-Democrat

“You speak really well for a black person.”

That’s what they call a “microaggression.” It’s a comment that may not seem overtly derogatory or offensive, but serves to make people of color uncomfortable and degraded in a workplace or school environment with its implications.

SIU-Edwardsville students and faculty recently addressed this topic at “Black Lives Matter Reloaded,” a recurring discussion on campus about issues of diversity and inclusion.

The conference series was launched as a response to the civil unrest in Ferguson, Mo., and SIUE has kept the conversation going with roundtable discussions and guest speakers focused on improving equal opportunities and an inclusive atmosphere on campus.

Art major Kamran Mehmandoost is literally the product of diversity on campus: his father, a first-generation engineering student from Iran, and his mother, who is white, met on the SIUE campus as students. Now Mehmandoost is studying ancient

Persian art at the same college.

But his self-described “ambiguous ethnicity” means that Mehmandoost often faces a variety of microaggressions.

“I’ve been told I’m South American, Mediterranean, Alaska[sic], Hawaii[sic],” he said. “It usually goes to the Middle East with slurs attached to it.”

He especially has problems with his last name — it often becomes “Mohammed-doost.”

“Every single time,” he said. “Even when I pronounce it to them, they’ll continually mispronounce it.”

Sometimes it’s a little more blunt. He said he is often called “A-rab,” Osama bin Laden, “terrorist,” or “Muslim.”

“People think Muslim is an ethnicity,” he said. “It’s a religious orientation. ... It’s a common misconception that everyone of color is a Muslim.”

As an artist, he said, his interest in the art of his ancestors’ homeland is sometimes questioned. “[They ask] ‘Why all this Persian stuff?’” he said. “I can only do Greek, apparently. ... My art is a reflection of my experience.”

ASSAULT CONTINUED FROM

Police arrested Janowski on April 18 in Lentz Hall as a result of the investigation.

Information filed in Jackson County Circuit Court on Wednesday shows Janowski faces a felony charge for attempted criminal assault and a misdemeanor charge of attempted criminal sexual abuse. Janowski allegedly made contact of a sexual nature forcibly and with the intent to commit a sexual act of penetration, ignoring the victim’s commands to stop.

Janowski was incarcerated at

Beights said the majority of sexual assault claims are based on that consent aspect: if and when was it given, or when was it taken away.

“The only two people who know that are the people who are in the room,” he said.

Section 1.7.14 defines consent as “a clear, affirmative, unambiguous and freely given agreement to engage in a specific sexual activity.

Consent is demonstrated verbally or through actions that clearly indicate a willingness to engage in the specific sexual activity.”

With 80 percent off assaults reported to campus police taking place in University Housing,

the Jackson County Jail following his arrest and was held on $1,500 bond. He was released on April 19 after posting $150 and instructed to appear in court on May 18, according to the bond sheet.

Court records show Janowski faces another felony charge of aggravated battery for an April 30 incident, where he allegedly poured beer on the same victim’s head in an insulting or provoking nature while at a bar in the 500 block of South Illinois Avenue. He was also charged with misdemeanor battery for that incident.

The conditions Janowski’s bond entered in Jackson County Court

on May 4 stipulate he cannot make contact the victim.

The name of the victim has been withheld to protect her privacy. She declined to comment on this story.

Janowski first enrolled at the university in fall 2015 and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity on campus. He was expelled from the fraternity on May 5, according to ATO chapter president Nolan McConnell, a junior from Bourbonnais studying computer science.

Beights said his department has noticed that students are more likely to report a sexual assault to a resident assistant rather than go straight to the police.

“You are more apt to tell somebody you trust,” he said.

Reported sexual assaults by SIU students to Carbondale police Campus housing Residence Assistants are deemed by Title IX as a Campus Security Authority.

CSAs are defined as a mandated reporter for the university or any specific person who has direct relations with students.

Because of this, Stettler said SIU housing staff undergoes intensive training.

“The full-time housing staff all start training around the first

Monday of August,” she said. “The RAs come in two weeks before school starts and they spend a lot of time training on everything from how to deal with a sexual assault to safety and security.”

SIU requires all non-CSA university employees to undergo Title IX training.

“We have been told that we are top, when it comes to our training and education,” Beights said. “We train even our student workers … there is so much education and training, and more awareness, and we’re getting a lot more reports about these things because the issue is front and center.”

5 ways ‘Captain America: Civil War’ beat ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ JACOB PIERCE | @JacobPierce1_DE

It is better to not pick sides in the “war” between Marvel and DC. Good comic books help the whole industry and good comic book movies give the industry a wider audience.

But, to further understand the superhero genre historically, it is imperative to compare certain movies to others.

Here are my top-five ways “Captain America: Civil War” was better than “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

5. Humor: No one is asking the DC Cinematic Universe to be exactly like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Differences in tone and techniques make for better movies, but DC’s reliance on Christopher Nolan’s gritty style hurts its flagship movie and misrepresents important characters.

“Captain America: Civil War” hits the right level of humor and seriousness to make one of Marvel’s most enjoyable movies.

It almost misses at times, showing signs of too many jokes like “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” but in the end, its ability to hit both sides help make it a better experience than “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

4. Better action: It is hard to imagine that the Russo brothers — two directors who had

Walt Disney Studios “Captain America: Civil War”

more experience directing comedy shows — could out-action a veteran like Zack Snyder. Yet, here we are.

The action in this film works so much better, and on a more emotional level, than Snyder’s destruction porn.

Every battle and action scene in “Captain America: Civil War” feels like there is a purpose behind it. It doesn’t seem forced and hits the line between being exciting and meaningful.

3. Better use of large cast: There are 13 major superheroes running around “Captain America: Civil War.” That means there are 13 character arcs and developments in place. This can be a daunting task for even the most experienced director and screenwriters.

By the end of this movie, every character feels changed and every arc feels powerful.

Even the introduction of new characters, Spider-Man and Black Panther, are better than any introduction in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Chalk it up a more established universe or the DC being overly ambitious, “Captain America: Civil War” does it better.

2. Scenes impact the audience more: Here is where the spoiler alert

comes into effect; a lot of huge events happen by the end of both movies.

Superman dies at the end of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and at the end of “Captain America: Civil War,” War Machine is severely injured, Bucky lost his robotic arm and the Avengers as we know them are dead.

Marvel’s scenes feel real and heartbreaking, while DC’s feel dry and uneventful. The death of Superman should feel huge, but since it is in the second movie of the series, it has very little emotional impact.

1. Established universe: Probably the biggest problem with “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and the biggest advantage of “Captain America: Civil War,” is the fact that Marvel has a cinematic universe already in place.

By this movie, viewers have had a chance to see the MCU’s characters change and develop to a point where they love and hate them all at the same time.

The DCU does not have that. This is only the second movie in the series and the first did not do a great of job at setting up the universe or characters. By trying to pack so much into this movie, the folks at DC fail even more.

Opinion: 2015-16 comeback year of Saluki Athletics SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

Over the last five years, the magic that had put Southern Illinois University on the map in mid-major athletics began to fade.

A basketball program that had made multiple Sweet 16 runs within a decade dropped to the cellar of the Missouri Valley Conference along with the football team that was once a Missouri Valley Football Conference power.

These two teams served as a small part of an entire athletic department that had fallen on hard times.

This year may be remembered as the year that SIU experienced its worst budget crisis and social tumult in recent history, but Saluki athletics gave students and fans alike a light in the dark year. Two conference championships, three postseason appearances and numerous fallen records later, the 201516 academic year has given Saluki fans life again and reason for optimism.

Even better, many of these teams are returning key players, leaving the ingredients for continued success in place.

Let's start with the hoopers on the hardwood.

Seven years of failing to top a .500 record took the energy out of the Dawg Pound, leaving more seats empty than filled for men's basketball games.

With a team pieced together with junior college players to fill the gaps after five players transferred out, MVC Coach of the Year Barry Hinson led his team to its best record (22-10, 11-7 MVC) since 2006-07 and likely would've seen the postseason if Illinois had a state budget.

While Anthony Beane leaves a sizable void in the lineup, four other starters and three key reserves are coming back and should be able to build on the team's success this year.

As impressive as the men's team's season was, the women built their own success in 2015-16. Cindy Stein deserves as much credit as any Saluki coach, turning a 5-26 team into a 20-13 team in just three seasons while earning women's basketball's first postseason appearance in nine years.

The women may have a tough time adjusting with leading scorer Cartaesha Macklin and leading rebounder Dyana Pierre leaving, but they will have All-MVC guard Rishonda Napier returning along with most of its regular players.

Another indoor court sport made history as well.

Coach Justin Ingram led SIU volleyball to its best record in program history (23-10, 14-4 MVC) and was rewarded with the program's first NCAA tournament appearance.

Volleyball's lone senior this season, middle hitter Taylor Pippen, is playing professionally in Spain after rewriting SIU record books with the all-time records for career attack percentage at .345 and block assists with 426.

Much like the men's basketball team, with only Pippen leaving after this season, Saluki volleyball should be a force next year as well.

Out on the diamond, both bat-andball sports are closing in on their best

seasons in recent history, too.

Maturation of the young Saluki baseball team has it on pace for its best season since 2008. The diamond Dawgs already have 16 more wins this season than they did all of last season with seven games left.

The same maturation, as well as a National Freshman of the Year candidate, have powered SIU softball to an 11-win improvement, nearly matching the winning percentage of the 2012 team that was one game away from making the NCAA tournament.

Both baseball and softball have significantly more underclassmen than upperclassmen.

Maybe the most impressive seasons, though, came from the lesser-known teams on campus, thanks to some strong senior performances.

Perhaps the most thrilling performance all year was the women's swim and dive team's half-point victory over eight-peat conference champion Missouri State. Four days of swimming came down to less than a second's difference in the final race.

Women's swim and dive was not the only team to upset a perennial champion.

On April 26, Saluki men's golf upset the eight-peat Shockers of Wichita State earning its first NCAA regional appearance in the process.

Track and field has been leaving its mark on the conference as well, most notably senior thrower DeAnna Price.

Price has been placing her name all over the storied records of SIU track and field, recently breaking the American collegiate record in the hammer throw, earning her spot on the Bowerman award watch list for top female collegiate track athlete.

Both men's and women's tennis teams experienced success amid rumors of the programs being axed because of budget cuts. After going 6-16 the season before, men's tennis went 14-5 and split the MVC regular season championship while the women's team went 16-12 and made the MVC tournament finals.

The one team that fell short of success this season — football — made a change at the helm, hiring former quarterback Nick Hill as head coach, and is now optimistic for next season.

Despite going 3-8, there was still things for fans to be proud of with quarterback Mark Iannotti breaking the Missouri Valley Football Conference single-season total offense record with 3,911 yards. Linebacker Brandon Williams and tight end Adam Fuehne also earned NFL contracts.

Director of Athletics Tommy Bell deserves some praise of Saluki fans for his accomplishments in his first full year at the position.

Having to hire a football coach and lead an athletic department while dealing with no state budget is a difficult situation, but Bell has navigated the waters smoothly.

Fans are no doubt hoping 2016-17 keeps up the trend.

Success starts at the top for Saluki softball SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

Saluki softball has run with its own version of the four horsemen this year leading SIU to its best record since 2012.

Senior shortstop Kelsey Gonzalez, freshman left fielder Eyrika Brandenburg, sophomore infielder Sydney Jones and junior first baseman Shaye Harre have been the catalysts for SIU (32-18, 15-10 MVC) at the top of the batting order all season.

The four lead the team in both batting average and on-base percentage, despite having three different batting styles.

Gonzalez, a pure contact hitter, is followed by Brandenburg, a slap hitter. The power hitters of Jones and Harre are the No. 3 and No. 4 hitters.

annoying. Shaye's job is to hit the ball hard and scare people. Sydney is in the mix because she's a good situational hitter."

Having the differing styles helps the players as well, serving as a backup system for each other. Gonzalez said Brandenburg is excelling behind her in the order.

"It's really nice having her behind me because if I don't work an atbat where I get on base, she's right behind me and then she can do that," Gonzalez said. "If I do get on, she's been really consistent moving runners over all year."

Brandenburg's unselfish, teamcentered style of play shows through her 17 sacrifice hits, six more than the next-highest total on the team.

Sean Carley | @SCarleyDE Senior shortstop Kelsey Gonzalez slides into home during the second game of SIU’s doubleheader against Northern Iowa on April 30 at Charlotte West Stadium.

Gonzalez’s run was the first one scored by SIU in an 8-0 run-rule victory.

"It's set up for exactly what we want," hitting coach Jen Sewell said. "When you have a veteran like Gonzo that just sets the tone, she's kind of a scout for [right-handed hitters]. Eyrika's job is to kind of be

Overall, the four have an on-base percentage of .408, while hitting a combined .319, which is far above the team batting average of .267.

The rest of the team has not been as hot with the bat, batting .222, which

coach Kerri Blaylock said is a concern, but not a catastrophe for the team.

"Obviously we'd like them to hit for a little more average," she said. "But if they can do their job and fill their role, that's what we're looking for."

The top four of the order has been set nearly all year, with the personnel varying in less than 10 games this season. The middle of the order is where most changes have occurred this season.

The No. 5 through No. 7 hitters have cycled between sophomore right fielder Jessica Heese, junior center fielder Merri Anne Patterson and either freshman Hanna Porter or senior Caylee Cook in the designated player role.

"We look at matchups, but our belief is that if you're getting it done here in practice, you deserve the time in the games, so we've rewarded them by rotating them in and out of games depending on how productive they've been," she said.

Gonzalez said there are many ways to be productive without getting hits, such as sacrifice bunts and flies, as well as long at-bats so waiting batters can see all of a pitcher's different pitch types.

Even if an at-bat does not result in getting on-base for the top four, they communicate in the dugout to better prepare the other batters for upcoming at-bats.

"I try to see as many pitches as I can," Gonzalez said. "We can scout, but sometimes it's different when you go up there and actually see it. So I try to relay what I see, what pitches I saw and what pitch we need to be on."

The four horsewomen will get their chance to take the MVC championship starting at 4 p.m. this Thursday at Charlotte West Stadium against the winner of Bradley and Missouri State earlier in the day.

Athletic director reflects on first year on job, budget impasse JACOB GAERTNER | @JGAERTNERDE

During his first year, SIU's athletic director was forced to adapt his ideas to fit with a shorter financial leash.

Tommy Bell came in with a 10-point plan to restore the glory of Saluki Athletics but encountered turbulence along the way. Illinois' budget impasse, which started last July, cut off a large portion of the university’s annual income.

The budget problem impacted Bell's blueprint for SIU, forcing him to remove a plan to build an indoor training facility.

"Just in this economic climate and what we’re dealing with, we just need to take [the indoor facility] off the books," Bell said.

The men’s and women’s tennis programs were considered as potential cuts earlier in the year, another symptom of the budget crisis. Ultimately, the tennis programs were kept for at least one more season and the athletics department began searching for alternative cuts.

"We’ve already identified a $500,000 potential budget reduction in [fiscal year 2017] that would allow us to [keep] all of our programs," Bell said.

He said reductions involved increasing efficiency and an NCAA rule change that would save $100,000. Bell would not specify what the rule change was.

Two of the points in his 10-point plan involved increasing donors, and Bell said that is the best way to offset the issues with

D AILY E GYPTIAN file photo

of the more successful parts of the 10-point plan involved restoring revenue sports to prominence.

"The resurgence of men’s basketball this year was quite the highlight and really affected the bottom line," Bell said.

After a 2014-15 season that ended with a 12-21 record, head basketball coach Barry Hinson and senior guard Anthony Beane led the Salukis to a 22-10 record this season, the team's best record in nearly a decade.

An average Saluki home game had 8,000 attendees while an average ESPN3 broadcast brought 4,000 viewers.

"I think our biggest positive surprise was how well the ESPN3 agreement worked out," Bell said.

Part of restoring revenue sports was firing former head football coach Dale Lennon and promoting Nick Hill to replace him, he said. Hill, as co-offensive coordinator in 2015, established an offense that ranked near the top of the Missouri Valley Football Conference in nearly every statistical category.

"We’re on the right track with everything that we’re doing," Hill said. "It’s what you want to see."

Regardless of his plans, Bell understands that he cannot control everything in the department.

"We have to be flexible and nimble," Bell said. "The budget has put us in a position that we have to change."

the state budget.

He said Saluki Athletics would increase donations by rebranding the Saluki Athletic Scholarship Fund toward emphasizing academic success over team success.

The fund has a new brochure that will be unveiled sometime this week and could potentially increase the university’s donors.

"We’re also looking at other opportunities that we’ll probably

unveil in the next two years as part of this rebranding of the SASF," Bell said.

These opportunities include endowments and programs to honor donors who have made large investments in the university. One

5. Nicole Doyle's no-hitter Twenty-nine no-hitters have been thrown in Saluki softball history, but none have happened earlier in a career than freshman Nicole Doyle's.

March 12, Doyle no-hit the Hartford Eagles in her first collegiate start as part of the USF UnderArmour Invitational.

The start was a rebound from Doyle's debut a week earlier, when she threw 3 1/3 innings allowing five runs on five hits, six walks and three strikeouts in relief.

She shut down the Eagles all day March 12, getting nine of her 21 outs from flyouts, five from groundouts and seven from strikeouts.

A sixth-inning walk was the only thing that stopped the Aurora, Ohio, native from achieving a perfect game.

Eight months removed from a torn ACL, Doyle's no-no was the first by a Saluki freshman since Carissa Winters in 1997 and the first overall since Danielle Glosson's 2011 no-hitter.

4. Men’s tennis earns share of MVC regular-season title For the first time in the program's history, the SIU men's tennis team won a share of the MVC regularseason title.

Wichita State eventually won the conference tournament for the

25th time.

The Salukis finished with a record of 13-4 and 2-1 against MVC opponents.

“We all realized we were working hard for the same goal and that goal was attainable. We improved during season and played our best tennis during April,” coach Dann Nelson said.

3. DeAnna Price breaks hammer throw record When the track and field season finally ends, senior thrower DeAnna Price will go down as one of the best female athletes SIU has ever seen.

Price, the NCAA outdoor champion in the hammer throw in 2015, wasn't quite finished setting records and gathering awards in her final season.

Price sat out the indoor season and wasted no time moving up the throwing charts once competition moved outdoors.

Sitting in second in all of college for the hammer throw heading into the duel meet against SIUE, Price had a 72.66 meter throw that moved her into first place passing former Saluki Brittney Riley for the record.

For her efforts, she was named the Missouri Valley Conference female field athlete of the week for the sixth time this season and named to the Bowerman watch list.

6. Jonny Rigby clinches share of Missouri Valley Conference title against Drake Senior Jonny Rigby clinched the match against No. 46 Drake to tie for first place in the MVC regular season.

For Rigby, this was his last regularseason conference match and the first time the team had beaten Drake since 2009. Rigby, playing No. 1, defeated Ben Lott (DU) in a tight three-set match. He took the first set 7-6(4) but then fell in the second 7-5. The match would be decided in the third and Rigby came out strong, taking the set 6-1 to clinch the win 4-3.

“It was a really proud moment because it was a big team effort, so I was glad to get us over the line,” Rigby said.

In his time at SIU, his most impressive achievements include being named to both the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team and MVC Honor Roll. He also went undefeated in doubles in the 2013-14 season, which was the only doubles team in the conference to do so. With 145 combined singles and doubles wins in his SIU career, Rigby leaves his mark
