Team struggles at Big Tens, places 9th

Monday, Feb. 26,2001 12:22 a.m.

After one day of competition at the men's Big Ten Indoor Track Championship, things didn't look good for the Hoosiers. The only points came from junior Dino Efthimiou's third-place finish with a personal best in the pole vault and the distance medley relay's seventh-place finish. IU sat in last place after the first day, but the second day looked promising with potential for high points and a high finish since No. 3 Penn State was in only seventh place with 15 points.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Junior center Kirk Haston is the leading scorer in the Big Ten and the Hoosiers' go-to man.
