Although it's not the first time an MVC triple crown has been won on the men's side, it's good the Indy Star took note:

Sycamores' triple treat

Indiana State became the first school to win a men's Triple Crown in the Missouri Valley Conference -- cross country, indoor and outdoor track -- by claiming the outdoor title Sunday at Cedar Falls, Iowa.

The Sycamores, who were projected to finish third, did not have a first place finisher on the final day but persevered to edge Southern Illinois 168-167.

ISU junior Major Clay won a third straight title in the high jump, clearing 6 feet, 83/4 inches in the rain. Dustin Betz and Michael Disher, the defending champion, finished 1-2 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 9 minutes, 14.18 seconds and 9:15.66, respectively. Disher (Southport) was third in the 5,000 in 14:53.19.

Other area athletes in the top three for ISU were Daryl Truitt (Lawrence North), second in the 100 in 10.53, and Andrew Stull (Carmel), third in the 200 in 21.19.

Southern Illinois was the last to win a men's triple crown in 1991-1992 as they won CC in 1991, then indoors and outdoors in 1992. So it's been a while since any men's team has accomplished this feat.
 
Yeah no doubt a great feat pun some what intended... The University
really needs to step up to the plate and formally layout a timeline for the construction of the new track complex - now is the time!
