A large contingent of former and current IU athletes traveled to Sacramento, Calif., to compete in this week's U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. Many of the Hoosier elite have used strong performances during the Big Ten's 2004 outdoor season to train for the Trials, but an IU alumna and women's track and field graduate assistant coach is making the most noise from the Hoosier hopefuls.

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:35 p.m.

IU men's soccer continues to dominate within the college ranks, but former IU coach Jerry Yeagley built a program that bred players for success at the professional level as well. During Major League Soccer's brief nine-year existence, 19 former Hoosiers have passed through the league, including six current MLS players. The most recent Hoosier to join the league is the 2004 second-round draft choice Ned Grabavoy, who was selected by the Los Angeles Galaxy after leading IU to its sixth national championship last year.
